    One thing I’ve learned is that conspiracy theorists always seem to end up at racism.

        They were racist, but they hid it better, or maybe you didn’t know any personally, as to see it firsthand.

          Some people indulge in conspiracies for fun. “Lizard people” just meant rich people who can’t relate to regular people problems. Zuckerberg is the poster boy for unrelatable rich person. His Smoke Meat stream would have been called farfetched if it was fiction.

          I don’t really believe he’s a lizard person, but he would fit right in as a Star Trek alien.
