This is the classic conspiracy treadmill and subsequent dive:
See correlations that are unsettling or suggestive;
imagine causal forces which are fundamentally out of reach epistemologically, but explain the causation for the correlation which is apparent;
institutionalize the theory into a worldview;
attach your identity to it and obey in-group/out-group social maxims;
find home in only the in-group because only they tolerate your assertions with no challenge;
cement the worldview in your mind as a quasi-religious totalizing narrative because of the lack of challenges.
