If you’ve never spent time with conspiracy folks or looked at /r/conspiracy, take this and extrapolate into infinity.
Nothing good or bad can happen without it being “THEY” that did it. Nothing is real, everything is staged and manipulated. It really doesn’t help that plenty of real life bad things happen all the time, and it’s just that the world is fucking bonkers. Some people can’t accept that and feel better blaming someone else so they feel more secure in bad random things being “caused” by people so that someone else’s agency and not their bad decisions or bad luck are possibly a cause of bad things.
Same with overly religous people. “God works in mysterious ways”. No, Karen, disease is a terrible thing and your kid got the Measles, got encephalitis, and now has brain damage. Good job.
