Common sense is usually the main culprit for things labeled conspiracy theory that end up being true. See Covid & JFK for starters.
For Psy-Ops like Q, it’s 1 part truth 1 part nonsense. Then the truth is wrapped around nonsense and you can discredit all the correct info with lunacy. It’s pretty brilliant.
Final is people want to believe there is more to their existence that what is in front of them. An industry in Southern California was built on this.

He didn't even state the talking point correctly. It's that social media was disproportionately censoring one political side and was acting in partisan lock step with one political party.
And I think this was widely accepted/suspected and even the left would have likely admitted this months ago

Did he answer the question?
The point is that there are different things labeled "conspiracy theories"
I asked him a question, you took it another direction.
You just cannot help yourself.
I'll wait for the answer from him that I requested. Your narcissism it raging this morning.

Your framing is wrong.
It's often not ability. It's desire.
Like I posted earlier, when I was in undergrad 20+ years ago, people would half-heartedly argue the media wasn't biased to the Left. It's not that those people lacked the ability to "connect the dots"; they didn't want to.

Throw him in a lake and then complain when he gets wet.

I'm fine with it. At least one of us has confidence and doesn't have to rely on the opinions of women.

You can list 5-10 variants on the "NWO" spectrum alone
I'll give you 5 biggies that aren't directly NWO-related
1. Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO
2. Leftists rape or murder babies in blood sacrifices to join the elite
3. FTX funneled US aid to pols via Ukraine
4. The WEF has any tactile control over Western governments
5. There is a coordinated effort by Leftists groups to flood the west with non-white people

Actually there's far more that believe every lazy narrative and refuse to even ponder alternative views.

Sounds like what the FBI has been doing for nearly 20 years now and this board supported when those arrested were brown Muslims.

The only correct position is believing some of the conspiracy theories.
Nicely stated.

Was always a conspiracy theory with little validation. Spooks did coopt it near the end though.
I put it on the scale of "white supremacy is the biggest domestic issue we face."

They're the easiest group to control. They're defined by their peer groups opinions.

It’s certainly one of the reasons they invaded, but not the only reason.

The only time I hear this theory is when leftists talk about it being a “conspiracy theory”
quote:
3. FTX funneled US aid to pols via Ukraine
Have not looked into this one but given Ukraine’s corruption it wouldn’t surprise me.
quote:
4. The WEF has any tactile control over Western governments
There’s no doubt the WEF is trying to assert influence over Western governments.
quote:

There are actual NGOs facilitating sending refugees into Weatern nations. Hell, liberals often openly brag about how the US will no longer be majority white at some point.

You're right. I've been trying to use "many posters on this board" and did not there.
Yes but I was young
