It's weird how the right has taken over so many conspiracy/occult/skeptic things. Weird, and unnerving, because yeah, I was really into a lot of those things too.
Perhaps because at the time the dominant culture was safely in the hands of the right (my excursion into that stuff took place during the Tatcher/Reagan years) and since then the cultural ground has shifted (marriage equality was unthinkable at that point; as Tom Robinson put it, "the buggers are legal now, what more are they after?") and people need something to blame. Because obviously it can't be because their ideas are no longer acceptable...
