Or at least turn their attention to the real conspiracies. They’re positive that there’s 5G tracking chips in the COVID Vaccines, but it’s lunacy to think that Trump stole classified documents and tried to overthrow the US Government.
leftist conspiracy theories: the tonkin gulf incident was a setup, declassified documnets show so
right wing conspiracy theories: the gay satanist democrats are extracting fictional drug from abducted kids, in basement of this pizzeria, which has no basement. i know this from the most reliable source of all: mystic readings of 4chan
reality is boring. it’s the boring shit that gets things done; while there are some exceptional people you should never meet your heroes. wouldn’t it be cool if instead you knew something that no one else does?
that “secret knowledge” is a part that allows conspiracy theory believers feel superior to non-believers. this is easier if believer is otherwise unremarkable or even miserable, stuck in some hole with no future, is a loner, can’t move and so on. it also helps if they are gullible and or can’t verify information they receive. if you have an hour to waste, watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44
I know, I was pointing out that it sounds like a total fantasy. I actually don’t believe people actually believe all that stuff, but it’s up there in yankeeland so what do I know.
I understand why conspirancy theories are popular, it is fun to me to think about them. But I don’t believe and the few interactions I had with conspiracy theorists online make me think they are all hard trolling or insane.
if they allotted their limited time and attention carefully, they wouldn’t believe in conspiracy theories. i do think that true believers need professional help, 9/10 of cases

Gotta say, the second one does sounds more fun. Like we live in a d&d game or something.
that’s a part of the problem
