I could write pages on this.

In short I have an incredibly low opinion of conspiracy theorists on that kind of shit. They're really stupid, they genuinely know next to nothing of facts (and I think that's by design, I genuinely think they outright reject any material that could cart doubt on their bullshit and pretend the evidence doesn't exist), they will outright lie to you, and worst of all, if you simply treat their theory to the same inquiries they claim they used against the official story, they get really REALLY fucking mad.

Every "debate" with a CT ends with them screaming insane insults and pulling out Ol' Reliable: "I bet you believe CNN/I bet you got boosted/STFU fed shill."

Here's a great example o

Conspiracy theory makes sense when you realize not one of these people analyzed a story and came to a unique conclusion. They literally come up with a conspiracy first, then try to find "evidence " that proves it. Which is why they will scour 900 photos of something, pick out one that maybe kind of sorta looks weird, and delete the rest and pretend they never saw it.

If you show a Pentagon Missile Theorist the main landing gear assembly wedged in the rubble they just declare it a fake. If you show them the light poles they say it is photoshopped. If you show them the debris and ask how it got there they invent really stupid explanations like "everybody ran out of the Pentagon and threw it in the grass".

The worst is the moon landing hoaxers. They say the Van Allen belts prevent humans from leaving low orbit.

Except:

1. They don't know what the belts actually are.

2. They have never measured them.

3. They only "know" they exist because space agencies say so, and so they believe the belts are real because they say so.

4. When those same agencies say the energy levels aren't dangerously high if you go through them fast enough, or go around them, suddenly they don't believe them.

You can't explain that except "cognitive dissonance" on a level that may be untreatable. That is insane. NASA says a belt of radiation exists, and the CTs believe NASA. NASA says the radiation levels are low enough to traverse, they then don't believe them, even though not one single CT has ever measured the belts themselves.
