Obvious liberal/globalist bs, but there may be an element of truth when you consider the corollary: Meek, accepting and complacent people are more prone to believe official stories Lolz

Says the same thing as:

People using psychotropic drugs are more likely to believe whatever BS their handlers feed into their numbed and empty brains.

You will have to invent a new word because conspiracy theories...at the current pace...are probably 50-percent fact (as a minimum)...so the old definition won’t match up to the present-day situation.

Also, this study done....Poland/Australia were identified as countries involved. There are a lot of intellectual ‘lefties’ in both countries and I might not put a lot of faith in this being a factual study (faked-up might be a word I’d use).

That explains the Media-Dem Party and their violence and anger directed at anyone who disagrees with their pet conspiracy theories. Just a few days ago a Dem in Rhode Island was caught keying someone’s car because they had an anti-Biden bumper sticker. Who can forget their months-long temper tantrum in 2020 over the conspiracy theory about cops killing “unarmed black men”?

The studies come after researchers noticed a rise in conspiracy theories and beliefs after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a subject that was directly addressed in two of the four studies conducted with Polish and American participants.

Conspiracy theory: Any belief or idea that does not match up with government propaganda.

Based on personal experience, they have a point.

I have no tolerance for deception, arrogance and/or stupidity.

Makes most social media, save FR, unbearable.

Leftists are, without a doubt, more angry,and thus more likely to accept conspiracy theories.

However,any people who have their fundamental views of how the universe works challenged, are likely to accept conspiracy theories, if those theories allow them to keep their belief structure when challenged by hard to reject facts.

They must be talking about Biden, Mooshell and Pelosi. They believe in their own conspiracy theories and liberal/Marxist BS.

Everyone is prone to anger, and in some cases, demanded. Now, however, it will be declared hate, racist, white supremacy, and is illegal. Soon, when you are ordered to have only one meal per day, you must submit and be happy.

The reverse is true: Those who don't care enough about themselves to think and reason are just gullible.

Thinking hurts and requires ownership. They want mommy government, strangers on the internet, television, their doctor, or their drug supplier to tell them what to do.

Maybe they are angry because they know their wealth is being stolen and their country destroyed.

You mean like the conspiracy theory about the Deep State in DC not wanting to let go of their power grab utilizing the Biden administration to find a way to steal or cancel the 2024 elections.

Flip side is that the vast globalist conspiracies are making people mad. Keep it up. You fools are going to awaken a sleeping giant, and fill him with terrible resolve.

When has that happened before?

Absolute liberal bulls**t.

In order to put forward this conclusion, one must make a snapshot decision at a fixed point of time that *THIS* [assertion/version of the facts/view of the situation] is a conspiracy theory.

The number of conspiracy theories that have been proven true over the past years has skyrocketed. But that’s not my point.

Anyone who would advance the position in the title imagines themselves to be in possession of the absolute truth, and there is no particular way to do that other than with direct physical observations of natural events/effects. The Trump Russia deal was 150 MM people imagining themselves to be in possession of the truth, and after exhaustive investigation, it was found that the conspiracy was not between Russia and Trump, but was between the intel community and reality.
