“This is how conspiracy theorists actually think”

I’m not sure why this generalisation was required? Many ‘conspiracy theories’ have been proven to be true, and not ALL theorists believe ALL of the theories. It’s easy to discredit somebody when you label them something and then say that those that are labelled are idiots.

edit- downvoting something without replying to it is how you get an echo chamber

The innocent civilians (and soldiers) on both sides who died for their rulers thinking they were heroes.
