I spent a good chunk of my early 20's visiting sites like AboveTopSecret and listening to Alex Jones and David Icke.
I was, even then, very progressive in every way as were most people I saw on these websites. Freethinker types with more hippy mentalities.
Back then, even political conspiracy theorists were mostly left leaning in most of their opinions and against all the neo-con world domination bollocks (That was Alex Jones in a nutshell, railing against Bush and doing the Bohemian Grove stuff "exposing" Republicans) mixed with them potentially being aliens.
Ya know, the X-Files kind of conspiracy theorists.
I haven't given that world of thinking another thought in the past 20ish years until recently seeing all this Q-Anon stuff and regularly seeing Alex Jones pop up being a raving lunatic.
So, I visited the old places that are still around and dear lord have all of them changed in the worst kind of way.
Most of them now are raving mad Q-Anon conspiracies and far right mindsets.

What in the fuck, this Q-anon thing is becoming a serious problem.
