It’s funny how actual conspiracy theories and spoof conspiracy theories become interchangeable and to some extent it doesn’t really matter which is which. I remember a few years ago a writer who is now persona non grata wrote an entertaining piece which proposed that trees that currently exist are shit modern trees that are a lesser species compared to ancient trees, the remains of which are things like the Devil’s Tower in Wyoming:
Weirdly has a lot of overlap with this Tartarian stuff except it was obvious they didn’t believe it, it was just a funny thing to pretend. Wonder how much of that same impulse is in this.
EDIT: I might have misremembered this and the writer was inspired by actual flat earth fake tree conspirators, rather than originating it, in which case the parallels with the Tartarian stuff is more clear cut.
