What bothers me about conspiracy theories is just how stupid (a word I do not use often/lightly) they are. Religions, philosophies may be non-falsifiable, but most conspiracy theories are eminently falsifiable, because they have been falsified. And yet there they are!
It speaks, I suppose, to the profound emotional need to believe the comforting thing over the true, or even mildly plausible thing. And if you are thinking "I wonder which conspiracy theory he means?" the answer is probably "yes."
They're rendered unfalsifiable I think by their occult nature and by a continual re-interpretation of claims. Because they're not really bound by reality in any way any evidence can be claimed to have been faked by the massive conspiracy.
They can be incredibly harmful and fascists deal in them as they breathe, but I'm also resigned to the fact that they seem to be a commonality across humans.
Studies suggest that a significant cross-section of the populace believes in some conspiracy theory, with no weighting based on demographic (other than education level).
how do I know you weren't told to tweet that?
Epstein didn't kill himself. Preview for next month: Maxwell didn't kill herself, either.
To be fair, it's easy to slip into conspiracy theorism when serious conversation about actual, confirmed, real-life conspiracies (COINTELPRO, Iran-Contra, Epstein...) can get you marginalized just as easily as if you were talking about UFO lizard-people crap
& it's easy to see how this serves a nefarious political purpose: if your first thought when someone says e.g. "the CIA sold crack" is "what's next, UFOs?" then any serious mainstream reckoning with the implications of the CIA-Contra-cocaine scandal becomes effectively impossible
