And there it is. Too easy. If only it weren't quite so easy, right? Then those who actually are "in the know" wouldn't have to deal with the consequences of the masses daring to use their own reason.
Your comment is a perfect example of the mindset I described.
it is not only actual benefactors but also those who are misled to believe they benefit from some conspiracy that turn a blind eye to conspiracy.
does the man who weaves a fishing net not know what it is used for?
does the man who makes boats not know what it will be used for?
does the man who makes fisherman's clothes not know what it will be used for?
The spectrum of conspiracies has a treacherously gentle, slow and long tail.
The truth is that groupthink encourages us to treat actual conspiracies as banal.
"If the target isn't me, I don't believe in or care about the conspirational nature of supposed conspiracy."
I would say that today it's almost too easy to be allowed to bring up your own theories and be sceptical of almost everything. Today it's okay to question even the most basic proven physics laws.
Questioning and own theories are good, but there are also limits.
