Helping to spread validity for baseless conspiracies is a strange way to do that

It's not spreading validity for baseless conspiracies.

Yes, it is. That’s what you don’t understand.

No. I find certain people use concepts like free speech, “entertaining possibilities” & other liberal values in certain situations to advance their own agendas
It’s becoming quite obvious. I find questioning conspiracies great- I find their timing to question this suspicious

You're entertaining this problem as a conspiracy theory, just saying.

You are rather, Elle! I do think we can entertain all kinds of possibilities without it being suspicious. There were people who were sure they knew exactly who & why and it conveniently fit their politics but I don't think that would be a fair evaluation of Bret.

I usually trust your judgement of people’s motivations so I will accept your assurances & move on. I would say that you should seriously question why he is saying this specific issue should be questioned & what impact his words have in the general discourse.

That can also be talked about although only he will know why he raised it. This does tend to lead to "You only question this narrative because you secretly believe the opposite one' & I'm a bit defensive about this due to being accused of being far-right for criticising far-left.

I understand. You know I understand that. You know I hate that. I don’t think this has anything to do with “questioning the narrative”. It’s about giving people a “logical” way of questioning the truth by portraying himself as only “questioning” the conspiracy.

I do know this about you. I don't see the second bit. He said that when we didn't know the truth. I admit that I am biased by knowing Bret a bit and being fond of him. I find it hard to see him as a machiavellian narrative manipulator.

He might not be doing this intentionally but if you are biased towards a certain side you tend to be skeptical of certain things on one side more than others. I do this often & notice it in people I tend to agree with as well. We can’t help but want our “side” to be popular.
