Around six months ago, I got onto this topic and spent several hours looking across the spectrum...the US, the UK, Europe, Russia, etc. Somewhere around 1,000....I just stopped and started thinking about the subject itself.
Maybe as a 18-year old kid in rural Alabama....I probably had seen around a dozen conspiracy theories. The most popular one was JFK's shooting.
I think around 1990 (age 42), I probably could list around a hundred conspiracy theories, with Freemasons being near the top.
Today? Well...you can jump off into topics like Epstein being killed, 9-11 being a bigger deal, the Denver Airport being some headquarters for something, Patton being executed, and New Coke relating to something weird/sinister.
Today, there's even a phobia for people, who automatically dismiss a conspiracy completely, without consideration of the data or facts.
News groups just helping to generate more of these? There's no doubt. I might suggest that CNN actively works on conspiracy ideas on a daily basis, and helps to make the problem even worse.
Hunter Biden now part of the conspiracy process? I don't think he really tried to get himself into the mess....he just fell accidentally into it (maybe the cocaine helped).
Trump and Biden both worked up into the conspiracy business? No doubt.
If you count both Hillary and Bill's conspiracy situations....I would imagine at least twenty conspiracy theories exist.
On Covid-19? I would imagine all total....if you count in the UK, China, Europe and the US....there's probably one-hundred different conspiracies.
Global warming? There might be well over 500 conspiracies now existing within this line of thinking.
MK Ultra? You can throw ten basic conspiracies on the board, and each has a different path and different conclusion....which complicates finding a fake conspiracy or true conspiracy end-point.
The NFL? I can task most football analysts, and they will cite well over a hundred conspiracy situations.
The NCAA bowl system? Overloaded with conspiracy ideas.
Aliens? Thousands of conspiracy concepts.
I brought this topic up with a guy who'd spent time in Turkey, and he laid out a dozen-odd conspiracy theories that most all Turks engage upon (like it was a regular topic for them). One of the weird ones for them revolves around the Treaty of Lausanne (1923 signed) and that it officially runs out in 2023, with some secret 'promise' (totally secret from the public) and this will allow Turkey to drill for oil off the coast as of 2023.
The fact that these all grow in nature? That's the weird thing about conspiracy theories....I would imagine in the US alone, there's probably three-hundred new theories developed each year.
Are we suffering from conspiracy theories? This would be a debatable topic. In some cases, we are suffering as a society because of the increasing lack of trust.
But what are you going to do....to halt or correct these issues?
