Why We Need Conspiracy Theory Parodies

By Mattie Knight


Conspiracy theories have been a part of our lives probably since the earliest existence. We all love a good spin off and spreading juicy rumors. Today, the world is full of hypothesis and speculations of what the government and certain cults are planning. They have become part of our culture. While the theorists themselves might be harmless and up to a point humorous, the theories have significant negative effects on the social fabric of societies globally. These theories are deeply embedded in us that they appear in every other book and films. Due to their negative influences, there has been an increased need for more conspiracy theory parodies to help counter their effects.

Researchers have found a positive correlation between conspiracies and various antisocial behaviors seen on people. It has become known that people who are exposed to these speculations exhibit negative behavior towards certain projects and initiatives. A good example is refusal to vote, take vaccination and reduce our carbon footprint in response to government, vaccination and climatic conjecture respectively.

Conjecture is quite subversive. It undermines the any confidence in the set positions and projects set to help improve the living conditions of citizens. With levels of suspicion growing, it becomes hard to initiate and push certain contentious policies even though they might be genuine. This leads to loss of confidence in the institutions of power.

These suppositions have a tendency to cause feelings such as pity, powerlessness and hopelessness. They feel that they are weak and cannot change anything. As a result, they become distant and disengaged in national politics and the social fabric. They become resigned to fate and believe that certain only a certain class of people have the power to rule. Research shows that these speculations have the power to influence people even without their awareness.

Conspiracies can result in the conception of crooked governments and administrative institutions. Perhaps the most infamous case in point is the Nazi regime that spread propaganda that the Jews were secretly extending their world influence and eventual rule. This resulted in widespread detestation and disgust in parts of Europe claiming the lives of millions of innocent Jews in the holocaust.

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.

Widespread suspicion between nations has seen the rise of total global military expenditure. Many nations have beefed up their security and arms cache. This has brought about hostility and distrust resulting in the creation of weapons of mass distraction for profit. Regrettably, these arms have fallen into the arms of terrorists.

Conspiracy theories have found their way into almost every aspect of civilization today. Every story and event has been woven into conjecture. It has led to political and social discussions globally. This has led to distrust and hostility instead of holding mature debates. Thus, we need more conspiracy parodies to break the ice.
