“Conspiracy theorists don’t hide. They thrive on attention. They proclaim their horseshit as loudly as they can, and the smellier the shit and the more confidently they proclaim it, the more people eat it up and tell each other how delicious it tastes. How other people should be eating it too. How anyone not eating it is simply a sheep in a pack. This gives them power, Tully. Power over what people believe and how they think. That’s a heady high. They don’t grow in the moldy shadows like mushrooms and bide their time with a small group of recruits.
