During my adult lifetime, countless hours of discussion in this country have been devoted to conspiracy theories. There’s no way to measure it, but it feels like almost 20% of all politics have centered around conspiracies. Just off the top of my head:
JFK’s assassination.
The Moon Landing.
The Death of Vince Foster.
9/11 Truth movement.
Birthers.
False Flag movements.
Q Anon.
These are just the big ones that come to mind- I’m sure there are many I’m forgetting about.
Sometimes (often) I find myself caught up in these, both fascinated and repelled at the same time. I’ve never understood what attracts people to such theories, and why they are so eager to believe them. Thoughts?
