I have a conspiracy fren too, but mine is hooked on MSM. I proposed a bet to stop consuming any "news" for a month, but he claims he just follows it to monitor bla bla. Pretty weird combo, but yeah, dumb conspiracies are opioid for the masses. Interestingly, they don't do jack shit about it anyway.

My friend is deep into the whole Q thing. His go-to phrase is, “Sit back and watch the show.” From where I’m standing, the Q movement seems like a psychological trick, where it gives people the rush of feeling like they’ve uncovered secret knowledge, but then neutralizes them by convincing them that everything is unfolding according to plan, so they shouldn’t act, but just “watch.” They do share a ton of memes, though, so... there’s that?
Instead of mocking your friend from here you can leverage his curiosity by introducing him to the Corbett Report. James Corbett criticizes the "Q movement" as well and ofcourse he is not pro-Trump or whatever. His YouTube channel was banned, until recently, so his material is widely available. Introductory level of crypto or other solutions are there as well.
