Apearently chamberlain supported israel out of antisemitism, in that he thought that the "jewish cabal" would support him. And the later is just a conspiracy theory, but it led to israel support bias apearently which is interesting.
And very obviously i dont mean that, but why is there no irish conspiracy, aside the american and othe ranti irisgh disctrimination that was very real, and some people might still have. But why is in banks no one having a nonsensical conclusion to irish banker, there are surprising many irish banker apearently ly that would make way more sense than the "jewish banker" one.
And yes irish has too a history of discrimination irish rebel songs are a banger, and i know luck of the irish, is an ironic proverb. i will not play down and that, but because the stereotype to be degrading is poor , no one makees any about "irish banker" that i dont give too much but it makes more sense than jewish by numbers. right? Its nabout stereotypes not anything factual there, and its bad to trust stereortypes over looking things up. In things that are actually real.

Ther is the amazing scene from Angel the series where, and the context that he drives to hell in a universe matters less than what what it says. So he dis alienate his friends and went off the rails and as redemption tries to go to the source of evil, to fight it, and he goes in an elevator, and is led to the "source of evil in the world"
And its a park, with a struggling homeless person, at night, and the elevator du, yeah there is the quote"when it doesnt seem to matter it matters the most to fight" to go on, to help people, to be a decent person. To pay attention to people. Its a fantasy series ok but thats the spirit. People matter. that one. You loose and mistakes but learn and just go and learn from mistakes if you have to and its no fault wher eyou have to just take it on thats the spirit.. You dont have to be great just do your best to be a decent person and help where you can feasable and if you make mistakes, thats life too.
And that that everyday humanity, matters a lot.
OhTerry pratchet is great ok and if thats where you get the take on how humanidy everyday maters and its worth trying is, also great.

Ok scifi and fiction has fun with conspiracy theories in which its fine, because its fiction, its entertainment, its a fun arg sometimes, which are fine, pervy fiction, is ffine, weird fiction making stuff up, is fun. Roleplay and larping, is fun.(even through the amount of child abuse and fetishizing it in projecting conspiracies is very converning as, yeah same people kinda em, its convcerning to project too much about it,like whats to project, things lie coer ups and child marriages and other? And yes i unironic i trust a drag queen over a priest wth a child. for starters)
There is a legot place for magical thinking and making up stuff and searching for meaning in obscure things, and its fiction. be it larping, roleplay or having fun overanalyzing and subscribng meaning to weird thing,s stha are fiction and realized as that. Yes fiction can do that and be real, but we know its still that.
And yes people have and can have superstitions and thats fine as you are selfaware ok. Whatever someone likes if there is no harm and they are selfaware enough to not make it harm ful not shut down critical thinking.
And its fine to have beliefs as long as you aware as you respect others beliefs too if no harm and yeah are selfaware , ik being respectful if not harmful others whatever is a thing to be honest. And you have it fill needs thereok, but not replase being a human people living in realits thats a person capable of, basically dont let cults relace your personality, dont make a religion or belief your entire personality ok. Or even donr make a thingyour entire personality even as general tip to not go crazy.
And george Carlin wasnt a conspiracy theorist, he might be an absurdist comedian , whch is, an artist. That uses art to make commentary at worst. And that invoilves yeah comedy can extragate fr the sake of a point and Carlin deserved bette rfans than media illaterate conspiracy theorists.

If conspiracy theories they are confirmed one way or anothewr by being declassified, or with mlks alleget assasination, ther is a whole case that documents why despite like the evidence gon there is a real trail that is pretty mich evidence. Its so much it counts, and a jury sentenced on, that so its legit and the king family and other strange things, the case actually convenient documents.
So its an , yeah very likely happened , so its not a theory anymore, or in a lot cases , made public stuff.
Also like with ufos, several organisations of the state did gaslit people and did kinda cause conspiracy theories to, first smoke and mirror about actual ufos, jest secret flying projects, aka secret planes and stuff.
And the second benefit if the person later calls of an informant from an agency feeding them that, who will believe them.
So actzual agencies actually spread conspiracy theories and that to gaslight people to use them as smoke and mirror, and discredit them if they find an actual weird experiment, and its public that the agencies did weird projects, not aliens, just weird and often cruel stuff.
I like the xfiles episodes where a government dude straight tells the lone gunmen, you are told a lot of that to ignore whats really going on.
And yeah there is proof of more boring but proven real bad stuff in the world, and conspiracies do distract from calling that out, and discredit maybe even people saying, its crazy.
And that actual even is rarely satisfying or makes narrative sense, but it can be very strange, and we have actual evidence on stuff, but conspiracy theorists dont care.
And as lover of strange stuff, tha talso closes eyes from actual real thinngs that are wonderous and interesting thats more interesting than everything having to have a payoff, making sense or be satisfying, but the worls is chaotic and wonderous.
Also the xfiles motto ,"i want to believe" shows that yeah its more akin to a religion, or cult.
