Conspiracy theories are easy answers because they lack the nuance of reality and they present an attractive narrative. There's good guys, bad guys, underdogs, secrets, etc. In contrast reality is full of grey areas, requires a lot of thought, will make you empathize with those you thought you'd blame and vice versa. Facing facts is hard work.

I don't know if it's contradicting anything. Bad guys with power get together and plan things all the time.

It really isn't very hard to keep things under cover either. A lot of coverups goes unnoticed for many years until some whistleblower steps forward and gets punished severely. Specially the US strikes down on whistleblowers very, very hard.

How many are ongoing right now? I'm guessing a lot. Because people are no longer even looking for it. That worries me. I think people are fooling themselves that there are no big plans carried out, and events are just random. Nobody intends to do anything, and things just happen. Makes no sense to me at all.
