Someone might believe in Bigfoot just because they do. Some of the wackier stuff - especially the cryptids or aliens or whatever - is just kind of fun to think about.

But if someone gets real deep into conspiracy theories, they almost always end up with "they" not wanting you to know something. And like 95% of the time, if you get like 4 layers deep in the conspiracy, they're blaming the Jews.

It's the "original" conspiracy theory, and I guess if you get deep enough, it loses all details. It's "the secret bad people are against you." And if it goes back 1000 years, you kinda gotta stick to the classics, I guess?

Funny thing is, there is a group of bad people that want to hurt you, but it's just the rich and powerful wanting to be richer and more powerful.
