      Conspiracy theories are the gateway to radicalization political violence. Conspiracy theorists are the worst, because if you can believe absurdities you can commit atrocities.https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1314359348479627265 …

      Conspiracy theories are orthogonal to believing absurdities. Many (most) people believe illogical/fantastical ideas without conspiracy attached.

      Yes but, unlike simply illogical beliefs, the nature of conspiracy theory is inherently violent as the cast the believer as at odds with other people who are seen as criminal, dishonest, even satanic. No one shoots up a pizzaria over believing in purple dragons, but pizzagate...

      Indeed. Sadly, a lot of people don't see this about, for example, the antivaccine movement. A brief dive into their fantasies about heroic resistance, ultimate vindication, and, of course, retribution against their enemies will show what I mean quickly.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/03/16/the-antivaccine-conspiracy-theory-narrative-you-want-it-darker/ …

      In the link above, antivaxxer Kent Heckenlively fantasizes that he is Aragorn at the Black Gate of Mordor and later fantasizes about accepting the surrender of pro-vaccine advocates, even invoking the Reign of Terror after the French Revolution.
