Why It’s So Challenging To Believe Conspiracy Theorists
While there may be several conspiracies that have a lot of truth to them, I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest were meant to just taint the legitimacy of the real ones. Some people feel they are so obvious they don’t have to be explained and do a major disservice to whatever cause they support. Let me share an example with you. For example, I interview someone from a company and someone says “you’re shilling for that company, don’t you know they are corrupt?” I would respond with no that’s why I’m interviewing them, please share some examples with me so I know what I’ve gotten into. Typically they will respond angrily just insulting me for not agreeing or recognizing their self proclaimed authority on the subject. In this example, the person said something along the lines of “ha, I knew you were a shill!” as if asking for evidence means I am completely opposed to their idea as if asking for evidence is a hostile gesture.
Let me know what you think about this in the comments and whether or not you agree.

why do you want them to prove it? would that satisfy you before you did your own research on the topic?
if someone tells me a piece of really startling or interesting information, i go searching, to see if it has any validity.
you might want to try doing that with information you receive from the mainstream news machine some time - often it turns out there is no evidence backing up what they say, but if they repeat it often enough, it becomes truth.
i hear what you're saying about peoples' inability to articulate their thoughts to present them to others, but this is not the fault of the subject matter, more the indoctrination system we have that poses as an education system as if it's there to make people be intelligent and think for themselves, lmao.
evidence:
Why would I want someone with an unorthodox claim to present evidence? Because I don't have time to research and try to find evidence for a claim that might have none. If the theory has any weight to it they should have an overflowing amount of evidence to support their claims

it would take you less time than writing a reply tbh.
you don't want to know whether it's true or not, because of the consequences if they are correct.
name something without an overflowing amount of evidence - 9/11, moon landing hoax, banksters run the world and your vote is worthless, all media is propaganda, go for it:
It's on the person making the outrageous claim to give the claim even a sliver of merit not on the public to research and go through every claim made it's just not realistic. I look into most claims but alot of people do this for attention. It's equally foolish if not more to assume everything is valid with no evidence. After ten or twenty false flags they would stop checking
yes, i have stopped checking false flags, they all have the same m.o., same media coverage, same lack of evidence for what they are saying, yet the majority still take them at face value and believe what they are being told.
it's interesting that you say the claim is outrageous - don't get me wrong, there obviously are, but not when it comes to countering the government/ media narrative.
i take the msm's claims as outrageous until i see actual evidence which supports their claims. most of the time it simply is not there when you cooly, rationally examine the evidence.
there is a great guy on yt who does this, uk critical thinker, calmly discussing points and patiently de-constructing false flag narratives - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVj1-27YBWKTQKqubFVQyhg/videos
I agree, I definitely don't think a dissenting viewpoint is conspiratorial. There has been a push to make any dissenting view a conspiracy which I am totally against.
yes and we must also beware of re-defining terms and having language control us:
a conspiracy is two or more people plotting to commit evil.
a theory is a proposition, which may be true or not.
i see this linguistic confusion all the time, it shows the efficacy of those who control what gets published at utilising the basic priniciples laid down by bernays nearly a century ago now.
is there a conspiracy to rule the world? absolutely, and anyone who wants to can research the mountains of evidence, written, built and historically factual for themselves; or just one look at the corruption and injustice of the world and realising no one with good intentions can possibly be in charge of all this.
of course, the deeper you go, the more your old self seems boring, because it was living a lie, often having to lie, because it is forced to by the world it finds itself in. once woken up from this, it's like neo in his pod - mind blown, and of course you cannot go back to not knowing.
hope this makes some kind of sense, peace.
Maybe not to someone who hasn't experienced it, but having gone down the rabbit hole myself I understand where you are coming from
