This discussion has somehow taken a twofold way imo. On the one side, we are talking about conspiracies and STO-elites on a more planetary level. On the other side, the question is how to interact with people perceived as negative on a personal daily-life level. I wouldn't call the later STO but rather "perceived as negative by the self."
I agree with most of what you wrote xise, although I don't think a great deal of Popper's philosophy. I wouldn't reject an idea/hypothesis just because it doesn't seem to be falsifiable. But why did you label mass surveillance as a conspiracy then? Why didn't you say that you don't know whether it is true or not?
