The one conspiracy I think I do believe is I think a lot of these types of conspiracies were seeded by the government because of who they target and how they responded to them.
If you're a government and you have a large demographic of perpetual malcontents who are heavily armed and constantly talking about revolution and civil war, but you can't just round them up and gas them, what do you do?
Drive them insane.
MKULTRA was real but every conspiracy theorist thinks they're somehow immune to it. They think all the narrative control weapons are all targeting liberals, and they're "too smart" to fall for the ones that target the right.
So these people are not just something of a powder keg liability, but they're also very gullible, very dumb, and very paranoid.
Fill their heads with insane bullshit. Make them waste years upon years of their lives obsessing over worthless events nobody cares about that will never have a payoff. Bonus points: use narratives that make them believe the government is literally an angry omnipotent God, with the power and will to do anything they want, including controlling hurricanes and earthquakes.
Literally shit that was Biblical in nature they now attribute to government. Government is God to them.
And how do you fight God?
You don't. You can't. Why even bother? Don't go outside or they'll drone strike you. Don't make friends and organize because they are all feds. Just sit at home complaining on the internet, accomplishing nothing, while your age and BMI gradually climb. Don't vote or run for office because elections are fake. Don't try to join the system to change it from the inside because all your friends will hate you and call you a fed traitor.
The most tragic is this: right wingers are mad about Ruby Ridge. Timothy McVeigh blew up a huge VBIED to protest Ruby Ridge. Right wingers immediately and forever call him a fed. Lmao.
Even if he was a fed, isn't it better to take credit for it even just as a symbolic gesture of your frustration and what you could be capable of?
