Why are conspiracy theories so popular?
Conspiracy theories are so popular because of our fears. For instance, there is a conspiracy theory that claims climate change is in fact not real and the concept of it was created for financial purposes. The reason why people believe in this theory is because the thought of climate changes that will eventually lead to a disaster of us and our planet is terrifying. We rather live in denial, thinking climate change doesn't exist than face it and try to fight it. Other very popular conspiracy theory is that people shouldn't get the covid vaccine because it contains a chip that will allow the government to control us. This theory exists because people were so afraid to get vaccinated that they created an excuse so they don't have to do it. Concluding, conspiracy theories are very popular because they're a way for us to avoid doing things that scare us.
