This woman with a cut-out mask offered up a whole smorgasbord of on-trend conspiracy memes.

The Bill Gates one is particularly off the scale in stupidity,

The ‘chipped’ stuff is seriously unhinged, especially when you can just about guarantee they’ll be carrying around a phone that already tracks their every movement.
