I'm confused by this Birds aren't real book.
Is it satire? Is it a "real" conspiracy that real people believe in?
And yeah in this timeline both options are possible even simultaneously.
It's a parody conspiracy theory, in the same way as the flying spaghetti monster was a parody religion. People participated "eyes open" (aware it was parody, doing it as a joke) others adopted it "eyes closed" (believing it)
You shut your filthy mouth or I'll get my colander, pitch fork and blood-thirsty mob.
HOW. DARE. YOU.
It's satire, that real people believe in
Does this Connor dude believe in it?
I should start some imaginary conspiracy too, then write books about it, and earn loads of money from these suckers
