Calls to violence are appearing on the conspiracy subreddit over a gun order from New Mexico’s governor::Users on the “r/conspiracy” subreddit, a prominent message board for conspiracy theorists, have repeatedly issued calls for violence in response to New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issuing a temporary ban on carrying guns in public in parts of the state. In response to the order, users on the subreddit suggested that the governor’s order is “how you get assassinated”; suggested that someone should “use[] their gun” to stop the order; called for the governor to be “hung for treason” or “tar[red] and feather[ed]”; threatened “civil war”; and called for militias in the state “to be mobilized.” This violent rhetoric is on the subreddit despite Reddit’s policy barring content that “encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual (including oneself) or a group of people.”

I recommend the video "In Search of a Flat Earth" by Dan Olson, aka Folding Ideas
