1.) Conspiracies obviously happen, so not believing that they do would make you a dumbass.
2.) The invention of the term "Conspiracy theory" was aimed at tarnishing actual conspiracies and conspiracy followers as a means of control, instead turning them into ridicule, largely without legitimate investigation.
So, it follows that anyone with at least a decent intellect, and one that doesn't follow the crowd, would be interested in the vast world of conspiracy. I would also hope that those with said, decent intellect, would be able to weed out the obvious falsehoods from the ones that have legs.
Sandy Hook - Not a simple school shooting, fuckery afoot for sure.
Moon Landing - Faked (easier to fake and make everyone believe you landed, than to land)
Flat Earth - Horsehit
Q - I'm on the fence, but falling more towards it being horsehit, mainly because of how it's making people hang on Q drops, waiting for a superman to come and save them.
It would be interesting to see a real or fake poll of voat users on maybe the top 20 or 30 CPs, and the arguments for and against.
Like on the moon landing, were the Russians and Chinese that far behind that they couldn't detect the fake, or were they in on it? Because they were our avowed enemies at the time, and in theory would have called that out in a heartbeat.

Two parts to this, at least:
1.) Conspiracies obviously happen, so not believing that they do would make you a dumbass.
2.) The invention of the term "Conspiracy theory" was aimed at tarnishing actual conspiracies and conspiracy followers as a means of control, instead turning them into ridicule, largely without legitimate investigation.
