I've never read any, mainly because everything I've read about them leads me to rate their likely veracity as somewhere considerably below the writings of Erich von Däniken, Graham Hancock, and Jim Marrs.

Yeah. I don’t understand the massive cross-platform banning of what amounts to some random political commentary/conspiracy. I found the most recent post[1], seems benign enough:

    January 15, 2020:
    1. USA CHINA Phase I deal executed [China bad day]
    2. Impeachment articles released by Pelosi _walked [delivered] to Senate [attack v POTUS?][coordinated/planned for a specific day?]
    3. 1st C19 case lands @ Seattle-Tacoma Airport [attack v POTUS?]
    Mathematical probability [same day][natural vs controlled?]
    WHO BENEFITS THE MOST?
    Evil surrounds us.

I think that's only benign if you've got your nonsense detectors calibrated properly. If you're a paranoiac, that's candy.

You can ask yourself why was Unity2020 banned as well.

Shouldn't these be evaluated in the context of the actual real world consequences of this conspiracy theory?

It's because time after time people have committed violent acts like showing up at the pizza place in dc with guns, but many more claims to be violent in the future.
