I also struggled to finish this one. I know too many people who sound like the people in the article for me to get the joy out of reading it I think I was supposed to. It's nutty and insane, but it's easy to justify even the most insane beliefs when you're in the throes of them.
I saw several posts on here about how lots of atheist-leaning and left-leaning people swapped God for this kind of conspiracy, Revelation for accelerationism. And can’t stop seeing it now!
They never examined the culture they were brought up in and now are repeating it in new form.

I couldn't finish this one.

People who think they found the One True Consipiracy that explains them all. If only life were actually that simple.

Rationalist movement sounds like a blueprint to give yourself psychosis. Insane pressure for no reason.

I love the Zizians, and the whole rationalist cluster. The amount of sheer WTFery guarantees I'll consume any media about them.
Behind the Bastards podcast has a wonderful series on them.
