Humans have a lot of cognitive machinery formed under the pressure of detecting and thinking about enemy tribes. Easy to teach to the young.

This interacts oddly with liberal society: the more liberal/market-oriented society is, the more foreign tribes are working to *help* you.

Mm, but I think I'd argue that the "systemic causes" in "malign individuals, rather than systemic causes" is itself a conspiracy theory.
-
so rewrite that as "unapproved conspiracy theories, rather than approved conspiracy theories" and then thesis is unsurprising
-
sorry, preceding tweet is extremely bad, I reversed the thesis
-
but there's a weird twist in the abstract where they liken conspiracies to 'malign individuals', when conspiracies are intrinsically groups
-
There's some factor of anthropomorphization eg "Koch Brothers" or "Soros" but then also "THE JEWS!!!!1". Latter I'd argue is more natural.
