There is definitely a lot of chaos out there, and humans try to make sense of it one way or the other, even if the absence of complete information. Is it just me or has the world grown increasingly stranger in the last ~50 years? Sure, there were things like Iran-Contra, CIA cocaine smuggling, coups in Latin America, etc, but everyone more or less knew what was going on and where things stood. Now, it all feels like cloak and daggers.

Also another angle I think about on these conspiracy theories is that there is a low probability that any individual one is correct, but at least one of them is almost certainly correct; the chance that the NZ shooting conspiracy is correct is low, and the chance the the 9/11 conspiracy is correct is low, but the chance of the NZ shooting being correct OR the 9/11 conspiracy theory OR the Las Vegas shooting OR ... OR the JFK assassination, etc, that must be high. And we only find out much later which of these were noise and which were real issues.

A broken clock is right twice a day, but that still means its incorrect for 1,398 minutes.
