In a world full of confusion and cynicism, I'm not surprised. This will only continue unfortunately.

With conspiracy theorists, it's always: if something big and bad happens, OBVIOUSLY someone is behind it.

they don't accept that real life isn't about good/bad dichotomy, that there sometimes isn't a villain. bad things happen, and sometimes there isn't really anyone to blame.

not an interesting story, so they retcon it

But your comment may make you sound like a conspiracy theorist on conspiracy theorists, making them the villain.

Is confusion or cynicism bad? How do you measure the saturation? Why will it continue? Should it not?
