I agree with this. It's not worth engaging with you on this topic.

There is a clear lack of rational and logical thought. I have a friend who is schizophrenic. I don't see how his illness is characterized as a mental health issue and some of the opinions on here aren't considered a mental health issue.
There has been depression in my family and although it is a serious issue it is actually considerably less an issue that some of the loony tune theories on here.
I mean these are complete breaks from reality. It's not an opinion. It's a complete break from reality. If it isn't a mental health issue what is it ?
You often find that a the strongest conspiracy theory believers are disenfranchised or those living on the edges of society. The theories provide a justification for where they find themselves. It is the fault of "The System", "The Illuminati choose who will be successful", "You have to be a member of some secret society to achieve a particular role", "The radical left supports everyone bar me".
It absolves the individual of all blame, allows them to solely act in their own self interests and reject any norms of society that are not appealing to them.
G'day Harvey : a well written post :+1: , but you will have to explain the last paragraph to me. I'm a bit thick sometimes :blush:

Along the lines of it’s not my fault I can’t get that job/promotion or get told my efforts are not up to standard.
It is nothing I am doing, but because I am not part of the “in” crowd.
I can avoid any COVID-19 safety measures because it is a scam being perpetrated by the global controlling group.
I am better/work harder than that person and their accumulation comes from being part of/selected by the chosen group. Therefore they got what they have unfairly and I have as much right to it as they do. Therefore I should be able to take it.
The US election results were contrived by the pizza parlour paedos and therefore it makes perfect sense to storm the capitol building and try to kill elected representatives because they must be part of the conspiracy.
Pence went from hero to traitor within 3 day.

Thanks Harvey : I'm new to this subject "conspiracy theories" so I've got a lot of learning and understanding to do.
I did have a bit of a read about the Illuminati, and there ideas sound interesting.

Once you have finished there, move onto QAnon, you should have most things covered then and be able to see the world so much clearer, you will make friends and people will flock to you in discussion at dinner parties...

Thanks for your advice 5150, but I really dont need to be a hit at dinner parties. I like people, but these days I try to avoid parties of any sort.

For the most part, it was harmless weirdness. For the other 20 hours of the day the alien obsession took a back seat to normal life.
Now social media detects if someone is interested in conspiracy theories and jams packs newsfeeds and timelines with more of the same, creating a self-reinforcing echo chamber of conspiracies, allowing you to binge on it 24/7.
There's no doubt in my mind that social media fuelled conspiracies have played a major role in tipping many people into a bad mental state.
