The people who lap them up are even more inadequateConspiracy theorists are generally under achieving individuals who like to apportion blame or take credit that the average person believe shite that they can see through. It's basically a power trip for idiots.
Yes but why do you think people believe this crap?Conspiracy theorists are generally under achieving individuals who like to apportion blame or take credit that the average person believe shite that they can see through. It's basically a power trip for idiots.

Remember that idiot Heed the ball
One of his conspiracies was that man didn't land on the moon. He was full of data and evidence to prove it. they definitely didn't land on the moon, no sireee. We were all mugs for believing they did...……..
A few days later on a thread about aliens he informed us that they definitely existed as Nasa had secret photos of them in the distance watching as man first landed on the moon
Yep it does give a sense of higher intelligence when you start to believe a conspiracy theory but I'm not the best one to judge on that subject.Eh? Because it gives them a fall sense of thinking they are more intelligent than others who don't believe it. My brother is a good example - spouts cryptic shite on Facebook, uses acronyms waiting for some to ask 'what does that mean'. Seems to be crying out to show how radical he is.
What conspiracy theories do you believe marra? I believe in Aliens.Been in the tin foil hat crew for The best part of 20 years, was reading Icke books and watching Prison Planet before it was cool. This new wave of fans are like those kids that buy Nirvana or Green Day hoodies from Argos and think they are automatically in the crew. You're not. You need to earn your foil by taking your supplements, doing your research and paying money to watch 8hr PowerPoint presentations on stage.
Do you believe in aliens?People look for patterns out of noise. We're hardwired to do it. The internet just gives us more noise and pats us on the back when we spout BS.
Do you believe in aliens?
They don't exist marra.I'm more worried they believe in me.
Great point. Especially true of 9/11 nutters. It was just one very pissed off arsehole organising a few other arseholes, but that doesn't make you feel very safe. It feels safer to think it was a massive conspiracy that took years to enact so won't likely happen to me. Sometimes the truth is scarier.On one of Dan Carlin’s podcasts about the First World War, he briefly touches on CT and that a friend of his made this point; and it’s something that I happen to agree with, so I won’t pretend that these are my words. Basically people are inherently uncomfortable with the idea that a random person can commit an act that has such massive ramifications e.g. Gavrilo Princip assassinating Franz Ferdinand. It’s more comforting for people to think that there’s another party pulling the strings.
That, and also CTs like to feel like they’re the smartest person in the room.

Had a really interesting writing group session last night on conspiracy theories and how they can influence fiction.On one of Dan Carlin’s podcasts about the First World War, he briefly touches on CT and that a friend of his made this point; and it’s something that I happen to agree with, so I won’t pretend that these are my words.

We started by looking at the reasons people believe in CTs and your points featured highly, the bottom one especially. A lot of it is overcompensating for people who don't have control in other parts of their life.
We then created our own conspiracy theories based on three random, unrelated objects and a lot of them were very convincing. We should have an SMB competition to see who can get a new conspiracy theory to spread the farthest.
People will believe what they want to believe and people love to argue.
