I'm sure that even if we lived in (or better: actively maintained) a much more sane and just world, some people, because they're sick or for other reasons, would still try to find fault with it. But it wouldn't spread like a wildfire. The rich are getting richer, people who start wars of aggression and whatnot aren't punished, companies have battalions of lawyers and Jane Doe has nothing, we are on the course for environmental collapse and mass extinction, and so on. These are shorthands for huge and very much real issues. And yes, conspiracy theories aren't helping, either, and many people spouting them don't really want to roll up their sleeves and turn this ship around. But that's also true for many people obsessing about conspiracy theorists, too. Let's say the emperor is naked. Most people say variations of "nice clothes! maybe some issues here and there, but nothing major". Some people go "he's butt naked!". And yet others go "he's wearing planet Jupiter as a hat!". The latter are obviously wrong, but it's still just so awkward when the people who think he has nice clothes on start to laugh at those thinking he is wearing Jupiter as a hat, and lump everyone who doesn't think he's wearing nice clothes into that category. It's as if the mainstream is using these even sicker people to pretend it itself is not sick, contrary to the mountains of evidence.
