There’s being skeptical and then there’s being irrational. It’s getting hard to hold any meaningful conversation since everything ends up deteriorating to these comments. I guess some people get weird as they get older and interact with society less.
Or you could just have an adult conversation with them and help them reason through the logic they are promoting? Maybe point out some of the flaws in their logic? Nahhhh..... just be a shite head and call your parents weird.

Fair point. I did ask what their views were for the cause of the fire, and they only stated they “wanted to know the truth”. Knowing them, that means they already think there was a super complicated government plan to start the fire. These conversations quickly degrade into this dynamic and there’s no convincing them otherwise.
