      There’s some weird wayfair furniture sales for extremely large amounts of money (10k+) that use girls first names as the name of the furniture. The conspiracy is that it’s a front for child trafficking. Belief in this conspiracy caused a lot of real world harm.

      Have you seen that airport? It’s super weird. Crazy conspiracy theories are just the natural extension of that reality.

      (Note: Not saying I buy into the theories, just saying I understand why they exist.)
