Also a bunch of young people forced sitting at home

In my (unfortunately much greater than I would like) experience of people engaged with 5G conspiracies, they are not generally young.

You’re right, but even these older people are not the ones who would be starting fires. They are usually the ones motivating the younger ones.

There is also a group of politicians who are not too proud to promote these conspiracies as a way to rally their base.

Are you basing this off of something other than conjecture?

Yes. Older people who would do that usually are already a part of some sort of organised crime ring.

Younger however have a higher tendency of working for the idea (just the same way as younger people tend to work for startups).

Or are you go tell me that younger people are statistically wiser than older ones?
