    i personally find conspiracy theories interesting from an anthropological/sociological standpoint, like the nature of how people get increasingly unhinged or how conspiracies develop relative to events or information and how that reflects group dynamics
    there are "fun" conspiracy theories as well where if you treat them like fiction or something, then they're just as interesting as reading literature; stuff like the crazy alien-atlantis conspiracies or people talking about illuminati reptilians similar.
    however for people like this who have crazy unhinged/detached incoherent conspiracies i think that A) its incredibly interesting how group dynamics in out-groups lead to an ever-moving fringe and how that maniefsts relative to current events and B) they deserve to be mocked for having these opinions

    what do u think moves ppl to join the fringe groups to begin w? i agree w u that isolated/seemingly-isolated groups spiral into their own zones cus of their feedback loops

    i still wonder what kinda things attract the members

    i think it depends. i know when it comes to things like gangstalking, which overlaps with q-anon style conspiracy groups very often, it's very much a mental illness. not a "oh haha schizophrenia so funny!", but like genuine mental illness, like usually paranoia disorders or similar. there is definitely a level of severe mental illness that goes into the super deep conspiracies, like the people blogging insanely detail theories about reptilians and such as well; not to devalue the role of the individual by any means but many people involved to the "extreme" levels (like the type who have the cartoonish maps with red lines drawn between everything) are usually suffering from some disorder.
    when it comes to what sets people onto more general paths for conspiracy groups, i think its usually just sociopolitical disaffectment or isolation. usually there are severe deficits in ones life which makes them turn toward thinking to deal with factors to treat or pathologize their disaffectment.
    it's not usually a singular factor but a kind of pantheon of multiple different social morphologies at once. a lot of people think "conspiracy thinking" is just something that happens to the working class or something and that's definitely not true either, i think the same factors are actually inversely why you see so many rich people/celebs actually get involved in wild heinous stuff (i.e. Tom Cruise in Scientology, rich people in Bohemian Grove, etc.) - them seeking fulfillment in increasingly detached and/or peverse means then kinda creates an ongoing spectacle of rich people seemingly validating the conspiracies of the non-rich as well

    Pretending qanon is only the feds not real people is also a trick by the feds

    its always hard to say if its feds or not because a lot of the people who get into this stuff are genuinely unhinged. a lot of the organization stuff or encouragement of doing specific stuff like "hey friends let's do a terrorism amirite!" is definitely fed entrapment, but this is so incredibly niche and esoteric of a conspiracy kept to a small array of message boards, telegram channels, and like 1 post on r/conspiracy that it feels like some people are just delusional. it's like the gangstalking stuff, where thats definitely just small groups of delusional people playing into each others paranoia, i think this is likely the same

    People that think qanon people are a conspiracy themselves only help it tbh.

    Ive actually met a qanon person irl & a friends extended family is into it, its def real lol. One i met is round the same age & the friend family member is in like their 40s or 50s.

    unfortunately, some people are so far down into pride that they'll fall for anything.

    very interesting.
