"Conspiracy theories are just to give people comfort that the world makes sense"

Is a funny way of denying cause and effect on a philosophical level.
If we can't draw conclusions from patterns why are we bothering to measure reality at all?
I won't deny that many tall tales are woven to oversimplify complex behaviors, but that's not the same as saying there are no driving forces.

Life expiernce... no one gets told by people they dont like and dont connect with "hey beleive X" and they go "Sure X it is!".. Indoctrination is always about fitting in, and that doesnt happen unless there is a void someone needs filled to begin with that causes them to compromise their personal beliefs in an effort to fit in.

Glass bracelets and beads found in the oppidum (#Celtic settlement) at Manching. Manching was a centre of Celtic glass industry. It was specialized on the production of seamless colourful glass bracelets from ca. 260 - 40 BC. The raw glass was imported from the eastern Mediterranean region, the colourants were added by the local craftsmen. To produce the seamless bracelets a glass bead was made and gradually enlarged with a metal rod and a cone.

Dystopia used to be a fiction of resistance; it’s become a fiction of submission, the fiction of an untrusting, lonely, and sullen twenty-first century, the fiction of fake news and infowars, the fiction of helplessness and hopelessness. It cannot imagine a better future, and it doesn’t ask anyone to bother to make one. It nurses grievances and indulges resentments; it doesn’t call for courage; it finds that cowardice suffices. Its only admonition is: Despair more. It appeals to both the left and the right, because, in the end, it requires so little by way of literary, political, or moral imagination, asking only that you enjoy the company of people whose fear of the future aligns comfortably with your own.
