Re: What is the appeal of conspiracy theories?

[(Anonymous)]

One explanation of conspiracy theories is that stem from actual truths and experiences that mainstream/conventional narratives refuse to acknowledge.

So, for instance, the Kennedy assassination conspiracy is bullshit - but it comes out of a sense that the American power structure is willing to do awful things to maintain power, and that the intelligence services and military were doing terrible secret shit, which is true.

If Kennedy hadn't been essentially dying from Addison's disease already then I'd give some credence to the conspiracy theories surrounding him, but there was no need for any opposing interest to do anything more than wait. He was always going to be, at best, a one term president just on health grounds.

Also, the US government really benefits from playing up the wacky conspiracy nut angle.

Re: What is the appeal of conspiracy theories?

If you can imply that genuine criticism is even faintly similar to a conspiracy theory then it is a good way to silence that criticism, at least in the short term.

Re: What is the appeal of conspiracy theories?

That dynamic certainly exists.

But at the same time, a lot of conspiracy nuts really are conspiracy nuts, to put it crudely.

I've never heard conspiracy theories explained that way, but that makes a lot of sense. Okay, you've just blown my mind, nonny.

Like, of course people would feel that an America that had been manufacturing constant wars would also manufacture 9/11 to keep those wars going. Or that these dodgy food and drug companies would use toxic GMOs to make the populace sick so that people have to buy more drugs. (i'm not entirely clear on what the various GMO conspiracies are). And a govt that does shit like Flint would certainly also put chemicals in plane contrails.
