who does it actually fool?
There was more than one person on HN who argued very strongly that PizzaGate was a real thing.
I found that completely shocking.

Also, you realize that US Catholic priests, and very likely priests in other nations have been involved in innumerable cases of child molestation. Also correct? Or is that just fake news?
So why is it such a giant leap of faith to suspect, given the rumors, that a similar scandal might exist amongst elites in the US?
Whether some pizza shop was the nexus of the whole thing, I have no idea, that isn't the point. The point is that powerful people with twisted appetites may be getting away with extremely reckless and illegal behavior and therefore deserves our attention.
Right now, we know there is 'human trafficking' going on. Who is involved? If wealthy elites outside of politics are involved, is it not that giant a leap to assume that political elites are also involved? And that some compare notes?
No, it's exactly the point. It was a specific story with specific allegations which were untrue.
The rest of your comment is "something could be going on".

There's a link to some email and some art. No alleged victims, no evidence, nothing. Just some interpretation of an email.
