One beautiful thing about being a conspiracy believer is you can never be proven wrong. The other is, powerful evil conspirators running the world or the country, or even a city give people excuses for their own perceived shortcomings. As you can imagine, the affliction is more common in liberals than in conservatives.
Just remember, for every believer of conspiracy theories who are members of the lunatic fringe seeking to protect society from such CTs, there is a believer of the CT, also lunatic fringe, but has the power to implement the CT and simply keeps their agendas secret amongst a cabal of their peers.
Do conspiracies exist?
Which is more absurd,...they are feasible but never exist and the only people who study them are those who oppose them? OR they are feasible and some lunatic fringe groups actually continue their agendas?
If they don’t exist, consider things like “Agenda 21”.
