Now, if you are inclined to laugh at the outgroup, show how would you do better. Your homework, your hypothetical scenario for today is:
You are given 250M in USD.
Your mission is to promote COMMUNISM
In the grand scheme of things it probably wouldn't add up to more than the People's Gym, but I felt for a while that open source gaming was a low hanging fruit that the left refused to pick. They have enough transbian furries between them to source both the coding and the art from within the community, they used to have the Breadtube trend that they could have used for promotion (I think they could still pull it off with Hasan Piker alone), and they could market copyleft licensing and the FOSS development process as examples of collective ownership and what Real Communism™ would look like. If all went well, it could even be self-sustainig, and wouldn't need more cash injection past the first few projects.
The big threat is that if they leaned in too much into the "collective ownership" thing and "muh democracy", so much money slushing around would almost certainly mean entryist sociopaths taking over, and running the whole thing into the ground. Best bet is to learn from history, skip the hippie-dippie phase, go straight for Stalinism, and manage the project with an iron fist.

The conspiracy theory crowd - insofar as it still remembers Covid and hasn't moved out to other topics - tends to nowadays just take continuous victory laps over how "conspiracy theorists are still 100% correct" whenever some authority admits that some of the measures were less-well-than-thought out or there's news about lab leak possibility being considered or whatever.
Given how much effort went into censoring the views they were right about, the victory laps are completely justified, even if you can find some they were wrong about.

You have it backwards. People were in favor of lockdowns, because they came in and persisted.
Also on the opposing side - there's a lot more people thinking 5G causes cancer then there was before thr pandemic, because the establishment couldn't admit they were wrong. Look at any elite get-together, they've been crying about "regaining ze trust" for years now.
You're not stopping the crazies, you're literally paving the way for publically funded crystal healing.
