Why do people believe in conspiracy theories?
In my opinion people believe in conspiracy theories because they want to have their own explanation for different things. For example there is a conspiracy theory about coronavirus being made by the chinese government to control people, they called it the „plandemic”. This is a very common conspiracy theory that is believed in by people from USA. They think that making lockdowns and having mandatory masks in public spaces is a form of mind control and the vaccines for covid have microchips that will track them. They believe in them to seperate themselves from normal people and feel more powerful. This type of thinking can lead to getting sick from the virus and spreading it out even more.
