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
