My parents have always been left-wing hippies and entertained the odd conspiracy theory, but during the pandemic they got lost down YouTube rabbit holes and bought into Q-Anon and anti-vax ideas. They still don’t believe Covid is real (even though they blatantly had it…).
We’ve just kind of agreed not to talk about it anymore, but they’ve steadily become more and more batshit and I think they believe I have been brainwashed.
Anyone else’s familial relationships changed forever?
No and I don’t really even know anyone who believes in such conspiracies though I’m sure they exist even where I live. I just feel like this kind of crazines is on large part almost exclusive to the United States
Depends on where you live. In Germany they’ve been quite successful with the average person.
I (OP) am in the UK and it’s definitely fringe, but it’s there. Where do you live?
