Interrestingly enouth he insult a lot, but does not talk about danger at all. What's the danger to doubt global warming? You cant do anything anyway. The danger believing 9/11 was an inside job? Danger in believing Tv broadcast mindcontrol rays ? etc.. That's great about Conspiracy theories: it's completely Harmless. (except for the anti vaccination fad) I like conspiracies. I read them as original and inventive fiction. I like the show "ancient aliens" ans all this kind of non sense. It's great... and harmless. Interrestingly enouth Rob Ager made some video about conspiracies.
He point out that there a lot of conspiracy never dubed that name. When people believed Irak had mass destruction weapon. When people believed witchs really existed and burned them. When MacCarthy believed Charlie Chaplin was a communist spy. All those stuff are false, without proof, real conspiracies theories. Nobody ever called them for what they are. The difference: People who believed it could ACT about it. And it was nasty.
