"It’s the most perfect, playful distillation of where we are in relation to the
media landscape we’ve built but can’t control, and which only half of us can
find our way around. It’s a made-up conspiracy theory that is just realistic
enough, as conspiracies go, to convince QAnon supporters that birds
aren’t
real, but has just enough satirical flags that generation Z recognises
immediately what is going on. It’s a conspiracy-within-a-conspiracy, a little
aneurysm of reality and mockery in the bloodstream of the mad pizzagate-style
theories that animate the “alt-right”."
