They point to four reasons why people fall for this bullshit:
1) Lack of information ("when there's a lack of info conspiracy theories fills that missing gap)
2) anxiety (when something causes anxiety, a conspiracy theory attempts to explain/predict where that threat is coming from so it doesn't feel so random)
3) following an in-group (so if your political party for example believes a conspiracy, then you are more likely to believe it. Notice how there's a huge overlap between MAGA idiots and the anti-vaxx crowd?)
4) ego (" ... People who believe conspiracy theories believe they are in a special group of independent thinkers who know the truth. They think they have a superior knowledge while the majority of people are just sheep who are foolishly gullible and easily manipulated...Imagine someone who wasn't particularly successful in school or their career. So, deep down, their ego feels inferior. But if they believe the conspiracy theories, well, now they feel like they're smarter than most others, and a small group of people tell them so".)
Does no 4. remind you of anyone? *Cough* wild_one *cough*
