Conspiracy Theorist
Send us a textPeople laugh and mock conspiracy theorists for believing in wacky claims, but what if I told you, you yourself are a conspiracy theorist? Conspiracy theories influence how people perceive their external environment in more ways than they believe. From 9/11 being an inside job planned by the Bush Administration to the Reptilian Overlords who have been in control of the federal government since the 1950s. Learn the different explanations of conspiracy ideologies from the psychological and political science realm. As well as the two different types of conspiracy groups in politics and why the tinfoil hat is outdated.
