seen several write-ups (and I think BE, whatever you think of him, just released a video on this too recently) that argue that liberals can't actually combat conspiracy theories like this because they arise from the difference in the propaganda they spew and the reality that people can actually see in their own lives, and so they come up with all these conspiracy theories as a result to cope. Think that explains most of it.

Edit: not really much of a write up, but this is the first thing I found searching through "conspiracy" on lemmygrad so you can at least know I'm not making up people writing about this: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/197287

And we want these people to have a say in the means of production....

Help! I can feel the liberalism in me reforming!

How the hell does that happen? The end of communism in Russia is basic-ass history I knew since I was, like, 10.

The poll, released Tuesday by The Economist / YouGov, found that 52 percent of Republicans agreed that Russia was operating under Communism, despite the country not being Communist since the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. Among all Americans, 42 percent thought that Russia was Communist, including 44 percent of Democrats.

I think part of this is the lack of concrete understanding of what communism means to the average American. It just means "bad place that does bad things." You could probably get a plurality of Americans to say Mexico is communist too if you frame the question right.

Dogtism (dogs getting autism from vaccines) could become an actual conspiracy theory.
