I find it hard to participate in any discourse around JoJo Siwa because I just think her childhood should have been illegal.

Tentatively adding "attributes every failure of institutions and systems to intentional malice rather than ignorance or incompetence" to my List Of Conspiracy Theory Red Flags

[headspace-hotel]

You see this on every side of the political spectrum too so here's what I mean:

Imagine that there is a factory revealed to have been illegally dumping poisonous substances in the water supply of a nearby community, which is predominantly occupied by racial minorities

(This is a real situation that happens and has happened many times.)

Not in the Conspiracy Zone: "This kind of thing tends to happen in impoverished communities occupied by minorities, because people view the lives of those people as more disposable and don't think as much about the safety of their living conditions. Also, the companies are potentially less likely to face consequences than they would if they were illegally dumping stuff in a densely populated, wealthier community."

The Conspiracy Zone: "Notice that this stuff always happens in impoverished communities occupied by minorities. That's because they don't care about you—they want you to be too sick to protest your own oppression, and ultimately they want to eliminate you."

^This sentiment isn't conspiracy theory itself but the thought pattern is a step in ending up there.

A big factor in these large-scale fuckups is prejudice-driven neglect of problems—things go unchecked because the bad things happen to people that get less media coverage, less sympathy from the general public, and when people are marginalized the System isn't interested in actively asking "Hey, are y'all okay?"

Something I've noticed about conspiracy theorists is that everything is a feature, not a bug.

E.g. birth control doesn't have negative side effects because medicine just...has side effects, but maybe these side effects are ignored too much because birth control is predominantly taken by women—birth control has side effects because They want you to be sterile and depressed and docile all the time

As you can see, there can be a systemic element to something (doctors don't believe women about their distress a lot of times) without the negative effects actually being intentional features (birth control is a conspiracy to stop white, *cough* i mean nice women from having kids and feeling the presence of the holy spirit or...something)

This is a really important thing to understand if you want to be an ally to Jews, btw.

This type of conspiratorial thinking that attributes malice to what are in reality large scale logistical problems and institutional neglect that track onto social prejudices, always, always needs a villain to make sense. It's psychologically attractive, because it gives people whose voices often go unheard a fixed point to target their (completely legitimate) anger at.

It gives them a villain, a motive, and an evil plot. Something people can solve with a silver bullet, or a guillotine, or a pogrom, because that's a hell of a lot easier and more satisfying then going to 900,000 tedious meetings and town halls.

Guess who has historically borne the brunt of that.

I will never let anyone who fell for it live down the fact that they believed Wayfair was trafficking kidnapped children inside of online furniture deliveries because they saw a TikTok about it. There is nothing at all distinguishing the way you think from that of anti-vaxxers or QAnon folks, you’ve simply been exposed to different conspiracies than them. If I fell for something like that I would stop everything else in my life to interrogate why I fell for it and what I could do to prevent it from happening again. Because your status quo is that you are going to vote for Trump Jr. for President in 2040
