Here's what I read: One of the reasons for the emergence of the conspiracy theory is the deep social and psychological needs of man. The perception of the provisions of conspiracy theory is closely connected with the mechanisms of stereotyping, projection and the phenomenon of escapism, as well as the complexity of human understanding of random events, the fragmentary perception of the world, the desire for a holistic view of the picture of events. The reason for the success of conspiracy theories is also called the ideological response to social inequality. Perhaps because of the acute perception of social inequality, you are attracted to conspiracy theories.
