One of the benefits of being an unknown persona non grata, lost in the miasma of political wilderness, is that you can get away with stating practically any kind of so-called conspiracy theory without being severely punished for it. As long as you stay clear of 'hate-speech', and/or incitement to violence and, above all, refrain from publicly subscribing to the view that the gas chambers used to murder Jews during the Nazi era never existed, you can still lead a pretty decent life. Basically, if nobody in the high places knows you, and you're a peace loving creature, you have little to fear. Problems only begin to appear if and when you get followers and thereby acquire some power in society. But if you're an intelligent enough person, you will have made sure not to have followers, since there is nothing in an erratic, albeit intelligent, person's life to be imitated, let alone followed. If on top of all this you don't have to fear the immediate prospect of being reduced to rubble by disease or financial disaster, circumstances in fact pile up in favour of your unabashedly outspoken mind.
