Bumped into a chemtrails evangelist at the local office supply store.<p>Rural US, people believe <i>everything</i> out here. The more sparse the population, the stranger it gets. I don't think this is a new phenomenon; cultists were quite the thing in the early 1990s, essentially before modern web browsers. Although dial-up BBS and Usenet had provided a forum for odd bits for a couple of decades, I'm not aware of a universal search engine that could easily lead people into the Revealed Truth.<p>The 1990s focused the crazy, as gonzo eschatology was not post-Y2K-compliant.<p>If you can tolerate evangelical tent meetings, that's also a vast ecosystem for remarkable creeds.
