Why Do People Believe in Conspiracy Theories?
- elmerfud 6y agoThis article seems to miss some major points by casually dismissing all conspiracy theory as a false belief. While there are many conspiracy theories that are indeed false there are many that started as theories and then discovered later to be true. The documents that Edward Snowden revealed are a good recent example. There's also many examples of governments (leadership) acting in less than honorable ways towards their citizens. Tuskegee study is one example that went on for decades. People don't believe only because they are seeking control in their life for things they don't understand. People believe in part because actions that have been done in the past are indicators of what will be done in the future.
