Conspiracies definitely exist. They should just be the explanation of last resort unless there's a hard paper trail because they don't do anything for me apart from add psychic damage and make me an unreliable narrator. My conspiratorial interpretation of this is that it's some kind of MK Ultra grooming thing. Super weird series of coincidences, piques the pattern-seeking part of my brain, makes me open to any explanation like I am with Charlie Kirk's fentanyl overdose. The interpretation that actually benefits me when anything could be true is just to point out that it's weird and keep my eye on the case regardless of its outcome. It could just as easily be any other hyper-alienated would-be mass shooter and a twitter botnet that exists for whatever reason, but I also don't see signs of those being the case either so I can't entertain them more reliably.

Fair enough, and I agree that the implied conspiracy here seems extremely far fetched
