CMV: Most conspiracy theorists are just borderline narcissists

It seems like the route cause of believing in conspiracy theories is some form of self importance. As in, “I am not a sheep, I know the facts, I am smarter than everyone else and one day everyone will see how I’m right” 

This is why things theories such as the Mandela Affect, flat earth, and most political theories exist.  A bunch of people misremembered something, so instead of saying, “oh I guess I was wrong” they double down and something must’ve changed so they’re actually right and everyone else  is wrong.

They also have some main character syndrome. They think that calling a school shooting a false flag is akin to being Katniss Everdeen or something. This is also why there are so many theories related to pedophilia, like Wayfair, Pizzagate, and others. They need to be hero’s.

I think most people that fall for conspiracy theories are scared. The world is big, complicated and sort of chaotic. That's very scary. Conspiracies tend to make the world less complicated and less chaotic. It's simple because "they're" behind everything. These a clear enemy, with and evil but comprehensive plan.
