and I agree completely.

It makes sense that this progression might have happened as we have seen a similar thing happen with "Libertarian thought", where depending on what end of the political spectrum may determine whose "government" one might believe is "oppressing" or "deceiving" them, it eventually coalesces into "all government" (and "institutions" ). And of course the encyclopedic trove of information that is "the internet" is ripe for promoting and magnifying this. And the deeper one dives into it, the more it draws them in.

Much of the info cited is actually based on valid research, but that research has been cherry-picked and then re-combined with other citations to purportedly be "associative" in order to spin a yarn that is now out-of-context and most likely false.
