1/13 #TinFoilConfessions a 🧵

In 2003 I fell headfirst into the rabbit hole via 9/11 conspiracy theories and was eventually consumed by a 'cult-like ideology' for 15 years.

I crawled back out in 2018.

Watch the full video "A Conspiracist In Recovery" by @TheBristolCable 📺 2/13 In 2021 after seeing the real harms of this ideology & how misunderstood it was, I decided to share my experience of going down, living in & coming out of the rabbit hole.

The first step was confronting the community I shared 15 yrs of my life with. That went as expected. Image

1/13 A thread of my original conspiracy content. Below are examples of how consumed by conspiracism I was. I was no longer repeating CTs from other CT influencers. I was actively a part of that world and either creating or adding to the existing lore. #TinFoilConfessions🧵 Image 2/13 How I believed Obama's Birth Certificate, The Royal Wedding, Death of Osama & Beatification of Pope John Paul II was all an elaborate "Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection" ritual - brentleetv.blogspot.com/2011/08/festiv…
