The sad reality is that so many of these folk have some sort of mental disorder which is not surprising when you look at the numbers to find that mental illness can visit many people in their life time and for some it is a permanent issue.

Such underlying issues can make growing up painful for them and leave them with a negative view of the world and particularly humanity and mainstream knowledge...these folk are most susceptible to conspiracy tales.

AND it does seem that there are various media outlets that target folk with fearful propositions that can only add to their confusion.

Then say in the case of the sovereign citizen type you get what you can call a critical mass where there is enough of them to tell each other they are right..social media etc helps these folk to find each other and convince themselves they are right....also folk do like to think they are special and privy to knowledge that mainstream denies the " sheeple"...how they love that term...when they use it they feel special of course, when in truth so often it is that they are just hopelessly ignorant of normality....

So often those who use the term " sheeple" are members of a cult or group that is indeed a group of folk who could only be described as sheep due to their inability to rationalise they are following unsupported dogma which they must never question...

Anyways it still is a wonderful world as evidenced by the fact that we are just so much better off than folk from the past...yet there are still folk who see the world as being the worst it has ever been...sadly thru plain ignorance and an inability to process information that contradicts their beliefs.

It is my casual observation and perhaps a gross generalisation that conspiracy types have not enjoyed what they consider to be sucessful lives and are on the continual look out to find fault with most everything and everybody but rather than face up to the fact that the problem starts and invaribly ends at their door step they seek conspiracy as the evil force that holds them back.

If only they could realise success is no more than taking and accepting personal responsibility and looking to fix ones issues rather than abdicating all responsibility for ones actions.
