I was reading a rather disturbing account of conspiracy theorists stalking family members of people killed in the mass shooting in the church in Sutherland Springs TX:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...rists-arrested
I've always believed most conspiracy theorists who make their conspiracy theory center of their lives to be mentally ill. Paranoia is certainly a sign.
I thought most of them are nuts, but harmless. Could many of the conspiracy theorists be dangerous? Some conspiracy theorists though are hucksters, and push theories they know to be BS just to make $$.
How often do conspiracy theorists actually lash out at survivors and confront them? Conspiracy theorists have a strange ease in dismissing the very humanity of the victims. 9/11 no planers regard the people on the planes as fictional, or at least as an inconveniences they just choose to ignore. Sandy Hook shooting deniers think many children who died were in fact fictional .
If they believe the deaths are fake- then they believe the grieving families are part of the conspiracy. I've heard conspiracy theorists argue that all the blood and the Boston Marathon bombing was fake and everyone a crisis actor. I have to assume if that is what they believe- they must see all the people who were there as an enemy of part of the black helicopter brigade they imagine is coming after them.
Is the case in the link of conspiracy theorists actually harassing and threatening people rare behavior or the norm?
