People believing in conspiracy theories are more likely to be accepting of everyday crime, while exposure to theories increases a feeling of anomie, which in turn predicts increased future everyday crime intentions

This is literally medical research that will some day be used to link "conspiracy theories" to mental illness. It will be used as a basis to criminalize going against mainstream government propaganda. This is not a conspiracy theory - this is watching them rub spit in your eyes.

No, it's just statistically linking effects of poor judgment.

What sort of "conspiracies" do you equate with poor judgement? Do I have poor judgement because I don't buy the 9/11 narrative? I was watching the news live as ground level explosions were occurring and then I was repeatedly told that never happened.

I remember them still reporting it was an accident up until the second plane hitting on live television. After that I turned off the tv and went out to get a tattoo (had already planned to get it that day) then run some errands.

Obviously only those which don't turn out to be true. Like the government knowing about aliens but not telling the public, vaccines cause autism, the government is putting poison in the water, everyone is under mind control. That kind of stuff, there are plausible conspiracy theories which I do not link to poor judgment.
