Ashton Forbes, a healthcare IT consultant turned UFO/UAP proponent, gained attention for promoting videos claiming Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared due to alien interference, despite evidence debunking the footage. Later, Forbes fell victim to a $3,000 scam involving fake evidence supporting his beliefs, but continued to assert a conspiracy against him.
Conspiracy nuts are verifiably one of the easiest groups to manipulate. You convince them you are one of them and you can make them do/believe anything you want. Just say it with a straight face and they’ll make it a core belief they’ll die for.

Conspiracy theorists claim that, but really they simply take the position “government bad” and lazily cease any further critical thinking. Which is why it’s easy to rile them up and feed them into the alt right pipeline.

Anyone good at guarding themselves against people trying to fuck with people doesn’t become a conspiracy theorist in the first place.
