The trouble with conspiracies is that they rot internally.” Robert A. Heinlein
Anonymous Bull Recipe Imagine taking the faeces of a bull, two wings of a fairy, the hoof of a unicorn, one ancient rams horn, a dash of paranoia, lashings of white lies to taste, a garnish of manson and jones, top with the letter Q and, with hammer, spoon and crackpot, forge a technicolour nightmare, a vile syrup, as vaccination against imagination for a better world. Inject a host and watch it spew the most indredulous unhinged tripe. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Wow, I love how unexpected and different this is. The contrast between fantasy with the unicorn and the realism with the vaccine. This could be the perfect recipe for the Halloween witches brew (in a good way, you write so well)

I have always asked myself whether the extent of irrational ideas also exists in other countries?
Apparently it’s similar there.

It seems to be everywhere at the moment, but the stupidity of the US founded Qanon conspiracy has a small foothold over here too. There’s no end to gullibility.
