The problem with your regular conspiracy theorist is that the conspiracies they usually believe in are born of ignorance, and can be utterly dismantled with relatively little research.
Why would a corrupt, tax-dodging billionaire who literally embezzeled from a children’s charity be willing to help anyone but himself?
How could there be a pedo-ring hosted in the basement of a random pizza restaurant with no basement?
From my experience at least, the conspiracies that turn out to be true are usually those where there is a concrete benefit to those involved, especially when it involves depravity.
Who stands to benefit from suppression of the Earth being flat, and how do they benefit?
Even to more “credible” conspiracies. If vaccines did cause Autism, and it was provable - why wouldn’t one of the big pharmaceuticals have ripped their competition to shreds by showing that and releasing their own that doesn’t?
Do pharmaceutical giants not like kicking their competition out the market and securing more profit for themselves?
Who stands to benefit from suppression of the Earth being flat, and how do they benefit?
extend that to truly controversial and equally true topics of today; like north korea; and most will come to understand that they too have bought into conspiracy theories themselves.
