But the weird thing to me is that conspiracy theorists never seem to be interested in actual conspiracies. Conspiracies are real and it is easy to learn about them, they are generally well researched by journalists and are not really contested after what was at stake isn't anymore. It's just that we just call them "scandals" and forget about them. Also they make a lot of sense. For Gladio for example, why wouldn't the CIA use former fascists as a way to fend off what they saw as the biggest threat, the USSR ? Who else was violent ready and hated communists so willing to do dirty work ? Who else you got ? What other potential allies do we have ? Well the mafia and the Vatican, that should do it for Italy. Else you have people talking about the gov putting hormones in your water to make your children gay or trans. Facepalm. What about that QAnon pedophile ring in the basement of a pizzeria... when you have the Jeffrey Epstein scandal ?! As if people heard of those stories, forgot about them, then swallowed watered down simplified versions that suit the moral panic of the day.
