I was staying off Twitter because the Israel-Gaza tragedy was just too sad, but I took a peek, and this is the first thing I saw, and now I need to vent because soulless media gadfly Mike Cernovich spewing standard conspiratorial garbage to his 1.1 million followers really pisses me off.
This has been one of the worst days on twitter in a while (and that’s saying something). The volume of reactionary, unsubstantiated, and vitriolic takes made me log off around mid day. Thanks for providing some normalcy.
This whole conflict is catastrophic, and it’s a sad day for anyone who hopes for more peace and less violence around the globe.
I think these kinds of conspiracy theories are so seductive because it’s just more comforting to imagine there’s a level of organization to the chaos of the world, even if the driving force behind it is malevolent. It’s discomfiting to think the chaos is just that, chaos... unpredictable chaos.

Agreed on every count. (And glad you appreciated my piece.)
