They are less intelligent, regardless of the country. This anti-establisment-ism is based on a fundamental inability of making logical steps longer than 2, or the inability to generalize. Typical wacko seem one single example of something suspicious, maybe even a fact, then a scammer wraps that suspicious event or a fact in a conspiracy theory, and that person believes it instantly, not questioning this simple and crude world view. Two most popular examples nowadays: 1. Moon landing. A person sees 1 single moon picture with unexplained details on it, read a conspiracy explanation about it, and then makes a single logical step that a single picture falsifies everything about moon landing. It doesn't enter his mind to think about the other 9999 already explained photos from the Moon, and then to ask that conspiracy guy how do those fit in his theory. It doesn't enter his mind to maybe question his skills at deciphering optical illusions and artifacts and ask for help. 2. Vaccines. Antivax crowd prides themselves in finding some negative cases for any given vaccine, be they fake or real. But even in the case of real deaths for example, they intellectually unable to take a second step and apply statistics, to understand how much more good a vaccine brings to the humans compared to the bad. They can't really reason logically, aside from simple "single fact" -> "decision". Anything more complex is no go.
