Re: What is the appeal of conspiracy theories?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

They go back much further. One guy I met suggested that they got started shortly after WWII, when everyone realized the United States and Great Britain managed to hide entire small cities of people working on nuclear weapons and computer decryption. Wilson and Shea wrote the Illuminatus! trilogy largely from conspiracy letters to Playboy.

But even before then, you had The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, as well as some bugfuck crazy ideas in circulation regarding the Catholic Church and the Latter Day Saints.

Re: What is the appeal of conspiracy theories?

[(Anonymous)]

There's a question about when a batshit idea becomes an actual "conspiracy theory", is the problem with trying to trace the history of it. Like, when you like at something like the Popish Plot in the 17th century - is that something that we can legitimately call a "conspiracy theory"? I don't know the answer to that.

That said wrt the history of this kind of thinking anyone who hasn't ought to at least read "Paranoid Style In American Politics." I also think that there's a lot of interesting stuff with regards to these themes in 19th century Europe in the early parts of Arendt's "Origins of Totalitarianism." And of course if you want to get into occult societies and all that sort of thing, there's a tremendous literature there, even once you weed out the bugfuck lunatics.
