Okay this is entirely speculation on my part but I have a theory that conspiracy thought inherently flattens your worldview, but it specifically flattens ones ability to comprehend politics into a sort of crepe of mythology.
Conspiracism is the idea that the main driver of history is and has always been occluded secret societies who control the world from the shadows.
But every bad guy has to have a good guy. This generally leads you to two places: An opposite occluded secret society that’s nice actually, and/or lone mythological heroes.
There was a common refrain in czarist Russia along the lines of “The nobility is evil, but the czar is good.” Because the czar almost never interacted with the peasantry, this mythology of the benevolent autocrat constantly stymied by a greedy and conniving noble class was both easy to foster and politically useful for the czar.
Speculation time: In the era of mass media, heads of state have to appear on TV. They can’t be this mysterious mythological figure responsible for the good in the world, but they can form cults of personality!

Já foi olhando o orçamento do mês: afinal, aquela mulher era muito diferente dela mesma. O cabelo era maior, o olho era mais escuro. Fazia uns quatro meses que aquela atriz loira do cabelo no ombro era o momento e que tinha feito todos os […]
::: By Clara S. Humpston ::: ABSTRACT I reflect on what may be termed ‘omnipotent passivity and omniscient oblivion’ which are some of the key paradoxes within schizophrenia. I discuss various aspects of insight and self-awareness as components of clinical recovery and argue that the minds affected by schizophrenia can in fact be very insightful, albeit a di […]

By CodywithoutOrgans “I did not write Écrits in order for people to understand them, I wrote them in order for people to read them. Which is not even remotely the same thing. People don’t understand anything, that is perfectly true, for a while, but the writings do something to them. And this is why I would be inclined to believe that—as opposed to what one […]
