Yea, no kidding. Here's a fine example: https://twitter.com/mumonamission5

Based on just a few tweets she appears to believe ancient aliens existed, satan worshippers hide their symbols everywhere, said satan worshippers occupy most positions of power and sacrifice children, "everything is energy", Nikola Tesla invented free limitless energy, the elites consume adrenochrome extracted from tortured children, all electricity comes from tall structures collecting lightning strikes, ancient cultures were able to utilize said "athmospheric energy" and humans are sprayed with aerosols released from aeroplanes.

That was just from the tweets of the past week. It's truly mind boggling to gaze into such a fractal of conspiracy theories.

To be fair most of the things you listed can be "learned" on Discovery History Channel.

Picking that person as the average boomer is as fair as reading the FBI crime statistics.
