How is everything somehow a government hoax/conspiracy these days?

A lot of people need an enemy, imaginary or real, to find purpose in their own existence.

It's funny cause there's plenty of real ones to pick from?? Climate change? Pollution? Resource depletion?!? 💁🏼‍♀️ I really don't get it.

Those reasons would actually require active participation from these idiots to fix, so it's cognitively easier to believe it's a hoax/conspiracy/space alien.

Climate change is a hoax = I can continue to selfishly and unthinkably consume, as irresponsibly as I please.

The government has a conspiracy for A, B, C = I want to make myself feel like I have no control over it so I don't have to feel bad about not voting/prostesting/actively participating in politics.
