Why do conspiracy sites/forums attract so many racists?

[GPBear]

I'm actually writing a book on this, but in addition to the reasons listed above, it basically comes down to Ezra Pound. An editor for nobel prize laureates, Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, others.


tl;dr Fascist poet/conspiracy theorist/general insane person Ezra Pound. Existenialism/20th century took the meaning of life away from white people, so they grabbed onto racist institutions to hold onto a sense of meaning.

Got it published on some online magazine. It's like 25 pages.

Just visit the most popular ones Godlikeproductions, Abovetopsecret, Infowars, r/Conspiracy. You can't spend more than 10 minutes without reading some racist shyt. I actually used to browse glp a few years ago and it was a decent forum, but recently that place became st0rmfr0nt 2.0.

@thekingsmen no shade but you seem like you browse these kind of sites, do you have an explanation?

If you're a broke white man looking for validation, you have a culturally-endowed predilection for believing there has to be some unseen force at work making you broke

I think you have a cynical view of conspiracy theorist in general then. People of all walks of life are conspiracy theorist now, not just nerdy white guys.

But do conspiracy and racism/white supremacist go hand in hand ?

Sad thing is the very people who should be questioning everything should be black folks but black folks only question conspiracy theories. You know where that term came from, you wouldn't be using it.
