Encountering one stigmatized belief exposes seekers to the whole domain

Evidence

The consequence of such mingling is that an individual who enters the communications system pursuing one interest soon becomes aware of stigmatized material on a broad range of subjects. As a result, those who come across one form of stigmatized knowledge will learn of others, in connections that imply that stigmatized knowledge is a unifi ed domain, an alternative worldview, rather than a collection of unrelated ideas. — Michael Barkun, A Culture of Conspiracy, 1105
