      Watchmojo,
      as a black man your piece about black men and women not trusting the government led to a spike of death within the black community to be a fucking lie, inaccurate, and the fact those people died to UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS does not mean they died because of the virus. IF you knew anything about the bullshit you're saying you would know the government was funding all hospitals that reported anyone with the virus to ensure funds from the government. How do i know this, a certified doctor told me.

    Interesting Fact: Conspiracy theories help us understand the worlds we do not want so we can create and anchor the worlds we do. When people feel threatened, they're more prone to turn to conspiracy theories. It gives them more sense of control to imagine that, rather than random things happening, there are shadowy groups controlling it. Randomness is very discomforting to people.

      On the occasions when an idea is too ridiculous even for them.... Flat Earth, Mudflood, chemtrails etc etc.... They label it a "psyop", a plant by the "They". That way, they can deny that particular conspiracy theory and at the same time, still have it *BE* a conspiracy.

The statistic only demonstrates the amount of guns. Your version assumes there is barely more than one gun per person. Counting every person, you have to include a lot of people under the age of 10. You have to include every person currently in prison. You have to include every person that has been diagnosed with severe mental disabilities. You have to include people that have committed domestic abuse. See the problem with your 1.2 for EVERY person?

    Conspiracy theories often rely on the Dunning-Kruger effect and social media for several reasons.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability or knowledge in a particular area tend to overestimate their competence and abilities. This effect is often seen in conspiracy theorists who believe that they have a greater understanding of a particular subject than experts in that field. They may also be more likely to dismiss evidence or information that contradicts their beliefs.
    Social media can also play a role in promoting and spreading conspiracy theories. Social media algorithms often prioritize content that generates engagement and shares, regardless of its accuracy or validity. This can create echo chambers where conspiracy theories and misinformation can spread rapidly without being fact-checked or challenged.
    Additionally, social media can provide a sense of community and validation for individuals who believe in conspiracy theories. They may connect with like-minded individuals and reinforce each other's beliefs, leading to a more entrenched belief in the conspiracy theory.
    Overall, the Dunning-Kruger effect and social media can create an environment where conspiracy theories are more likely to thrive and spread.
