The one conspiracy theory I believe is that, generally speaking, conspiracy theories are psychological operations to distract from class consciousness.
I personally believe they’re fairly inevitable - most people’s minds want order, and it feels better for there to be a conspiracy than acknowledging it’s all just chaos. We’ve evolved to match patterns, so that’s what we do.
Way harder to be angry at the reality than it is to be angry at the imaginary cabal manipulating everyone.
Obviously we are not ruled by a secret cabal of satanic reptiles or what have you, but it’s not all just chaos either. If it was, wealth and power would flow in all directions rather than consistently upwards. That is the conspiracy.
What we’re dealing with is a transnational class of capitalists and imperialists that shape the world we all live in.
This class is not a monolith. They even go to war with each other. Well, through our blood anyway, but the point is they make our laws, extract our labor and poison our minds with useless conspiracy theories to distract from the real problem which is capitalism.
