Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I hate this because I agree. Before the X-Files nearly all conspiracy culture had some racist undertones and if you trace nearly any "classic" conspiracy theory back far enough you inevitably get to something involving the Jews.
Basically the whole point of Conspiracy Theory culture was a means of recruiting non-racists into unwittingly advancing racist goals and The X-Files absolutely took that particular bait despite absolutely not actively promoting a racist message.
