My normie friends have been trained by the BBC to jump on any sign of the conspiracy theory in order to discount an entire argument. The conspiracy frame is therefore very toxic when used around Midwits. It is an anti red pill for a lot of people. If I merely use the word "they" to describe a group of people exercising power my friends think I am invoking hidden dark forces and am therefore literally mad.

This one resonated deeply with me, as I've been deep into any number of conspiracy rabbit holes. One thing you quickly discover is there's usually a rabbit. Or a whole nest. Or the hole ties into an adjoining rabbit hole. Since the rabbits don't want to be caught, they lay traps and dig blind alley tunnels and install halls of mirrors. And on it goes. A major problem is that most of these 'theories' are rooted in documented or admitted fact, but the recursive nature of researching them is much like computer MMOs which never let you finish a quest but rather tempt with endless side quests. Try and sort out what really happened to Mustache Man ends up taking you into the improbabilities of the 'Holocaust', German atomic weapons (plenty of documentary evidence, yet endlessly denied) with obvious blind alleys like bases in Antarctica -which may easily take you to 'Just why is it really that you can't sail your yacht to Antarctica and sight see around. OR fly your Gulfstream around and have a look? This could easily take you into the mystery of the Piri Re'is map. And before you know it you're a dinosaur denier!

All of the reptilian, flat earther and kook nonsense aside. I think the reason the conspiracy frame has a great deal of relevance is that people like Tony Blair and Bill Gates are clearly a continuation of a larger agenda. Bill Gates has spoken of the need for population reduction many times but clearly isn't an idea he's just cooked up himself.

For example in this National Security Study Memorandum from 1974 which was arranged by Henry Kissinger the plans for the USA and the UN to pursue global population reduction are laid out. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/National_Security_Study_Memorandum_200.pdf

Videos about the Masons and Rothschilds might not be censored but it's interesting that it's Alex Jones who gets taken out.

Merkel went on record saying that multiculturalism has failed. A little later, she clicked her heels and waved in millions of migrants.

How can this be explained other than that she received new marching orders?
