Conspiracy theories have always been in existence since time in memorial. We all love to talk about what other people are conspiring to do or have done. The world today is full of crazy notions and stories of what certain powerful governments, groups and cults are conspiring to do. They have been woven around some serious allegations and accusations. While these some may seem harmless, they have serious social consequences on the society. With all this, indifferent and almost extreme stories doing the rounds, we all need the laughs of conspiracy theory parodies to even out the odds.
Recent research has discovered that these theories have a bad negative effect on the social behavior of people. It has been revealed that persons exposed to various speculation and conspiracy spin offs react negatively to certain related projects and activities. For example, those suspicious of the government tend not to be involved in politics and do not vote. The same applies to those exposed to climate change or vaccination conspiracies, as they tend to shun any related initiatives.
These theories are dangerously subversive. They undermine the confidence of people in established positions and projects that are geared towards helping people. The populace becomes highly suspicious of the government and all its projects. Once the conjecture start and spread through rumors, it undermines most of the efforts of the government. Peoples start believing in hidden agendas and selfish interests and end up losing confidence in the government.
These speculations, more often than not, leave people feeling hopeless and powerless to change their situations. This leads to decreased social engagements because everybody is suspicious of everyone. People tend to believe that their fate is in the control of a select few powerful elite. These persons are believed to have thought out everything and enjoy absolute control. Evidence shows that these theories influence people without their knowledge.
Suspicion and speculations can result in the formation of corrupt governments and regimes. During the holocaust, the Nazi regime used propaganda to spread rumors that the Zionists were spreading their influence in the world. This led to the mass murder of Jews in Europe led by Adolf Hitler.
In recent times, conspiracy and propaganda has been used to spread the interest of western nations on the world. The fight against terrorism and al Qaeda networks gave rise to pervasive fear among nation. In effect, this gave rise to the fascist and strict security policies. These policies have been discriminatory in nature against a certain skin type and religious association.
These theories have resulted in several arms races between governments most notably during the cold war. Suspicion among nations has led to hostility and the rush to secure borders. This has led to the creation of weapons of mass destruction in the anticipation of war or attacks. The world is no stranger to such weapons like the nuclear bomb that almost destroyed Japan. Unfortunately, most of these weapons end up in the hands of terrorists and war criminals.
Conspiracy theories have caused tension among states. They are at the center of most social and political debates globally. They tend to start needless arguments instead of mature talks. Hence the importance of more parodies in the world.
