Very good point and I agree totally! I know people who think every thunderstorm was engineered, every virus or natural disaster part of a sinister plan to eradicate the population...as though Nature can no longer ever have a storm on her own! And nothing we can do can ever change anything because 'they' have complete control.
This is a very bleak and defeatist attitude, and they don't realize they are feeding the very darkness they so fear.
Meanwhile, others smirk at all of it.
There is probably some truth to many of the conspiracy theories. But that doesn't mean we have to give in to them or are powerless to change anything.
