That sounds like a very superficial take on it. Like you're describing Fox Mulder and Scully. Those are very crude simplifications.

- dylan604 2y agoA skeptic is just someone looking for real reasons besides those used in whatever propaganda suggests. That reason could be benign or not, but it doesn't mean that some secret organization/cabal is pulling the strings to make the situation what it is. When some SaaS become unavailable due to some DNS issue, is it a conspiracy that their status page is also not updated when their status page is also affected by the outage or is it the deep state's fault trying to keep the average worker down with a cunning plan? A skeptic sees the outage and the status discrepancy as a company that just got things wrong. The conspiracy nut things the Illuminati it out to get them specifically. Maybe it helps to have been in/around cults for more time in their youth than one would like to admit, but a skeptic and a conspiracy nut are nothing alike to me.

What about what I said was superficial and crude? What about any of the modern things that would be called “conspiracies” doesn’t fit what I said? PizzaGate, the government did 9/11, Qanon, the government did Sandy Hook, etc.
