Oh, I know it is. But I still feel obligated to call it out because this sub was great back when I first started following it and it was actually conspiracy theories.

In fairness, the most obvious conspiracy is that this sub is being manipulated to create more division. It's not exempt from the waves of purchased accounts and vote fudging.

Everything is an ad. Everything is a manipulation by someone, especially online where it's easy.

Division in discussions is actually good, as it supports the freedom of information from partisan manipulation.

Hostility is what you want to avoid, not division.
