They would rather believe in a made up, shadowy group of super wealthy and connected people that rule the world, as opposed to the very public group of super wealthy and connected people that rule the world.
I honestly think the Panama papers were too much evidence for conspiracy theorists. They need something more edgy and attractive. Not something obvious that everyone else is on board with. It’s all about being against the grain
You sheep! Can’t you see that the very public and obvious group of wealthy people that rule the world are just a front!!??!? A front for the real secret group of wealthy people that rule the world, like… Bill Gates, and… Jeffery Bezos, and…
Same with a lot of if not most religious people, they literally need to believe the world is orderly and under control because the reality of random chance is too scary
They believe in conspiracies not because they truly believe the earth is flat or whatever, they might, but they are attracted to fringe beliefs for the desire for community. Or to make sense of the randomness of the world. For an uncomplicated answer for complicated problems. It’s a lot more complicated that people being kinda dumb.
It’s amazing how none of the conspiracy morons care about real shit like the Panama papers etc.

Yeah, that’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a conspiracy fact.

Conspiracists cling to complicated conspiracies because it provides them a clear story about how the world runs.
These people are intellectually incapable of understanding that the world is mostly random.
