They are paid off by Russia to do this. This isn't per se religion, this is sophisticated modern digital warfare. That's why he got so wealthy and is so deep in crypto - crypto is the perfect way to transfer money discretely between countries.
Like look at Sapolsky or Chomsky or other intellectuals who actually do and say things that contribute to collective knowledge for decades - they don't have millions of dollars. They say factual stuff, Charlie et al said lies - so how did he get money? He isn't even the first to say those specific lies, plenty of Christian bigots have existed. So why was he so big? Russia and foreign governments literally propped him up to be a weapon against our country. He killed a lot of people.
I'm staunchly against the Crypto Cult Science, so would you happen to have some sources on this?

As long as it's not your country's responsibility! Good thing you have a general purpose bogeyman.
Theres plenty of evidence that Russia has been paying right wing influencers to spread misinformation. Its not a fucking bogeyman, this is reality.
Oooohhh and pray tell, how can you know which molecule of a tornado toppled over THAT house in particular?
It's a bogeyman, the same way Russia hysteria has been for Americans since the 1950s. You are being manipulated, that's true, but look closer to home.
If you think Russia isn't involved in the destabilization of America, something that has been shown again and again for at LEAST the last decade or so, I've got a nice bridge to sell you mate.
