The psychology behind the self-creation of conspiracy theories and control of forums

For the original source and comments

The Theory is usually set out in most cases by a lone wolf, An individual that is not working for any government entity or troll group. But either believes it themselves or has created it because they understand how to manipulate this system. I am unsure as to if this has ever been spoken about. I am unsure if this is documented anywhere online.

^^ So far this covers the creation of an idea in readable format and nothing more. What happens next branches out into one of two avenues. These are as follows:
 

• Belief in the theory
  The reader believes the theory
   
• Lack of belief in the theory
  The reader does not believe in the theory
   

The Branches of Fate outlined above where the fate of the theory and/or information is decided. Although they are affected by other parameters that will determine the strength and ferocity of the theory and its followers. These are as follows:
 

• Public Opinion of theory
  How does the public feel about the theory? do they believe in it?
   
• Admin Opinion of theory
  How does the admin feel about the theory? do they believe in it?
   
• Factual Evidence to prove theory
  Does the theory of evidence to back it up? and if so is the evidence strong enough?
   
• Simplicity of theory
  How simple is the theory and its mechanisms?
   
• Plausibility of theory
  How plausible is the theory?

Each of the above can be marked on a scale of 1-10 from which you can determine a long time current trend and manipulate it if you so desire. And that will determine the total strength of the theory! This is how all conspiracy theories and information are processed and how the mass collective culture we are part of parses it into reality.

The above is simple and easy to understand but it is not always clear. This is something the average user might not even recognize. Looking closely is not something many do even in the awake community but understanding the psychology is critical in connection with the above. Why?

Because it is through the system i have outlined above that trends and communities can be created and / or invented out of thin air to push a government agenda, Even to line the pockets of golden clad midgets from the depths of hell. And as a powerful weapon against the truth.

In short all anyone has to do is to cover the bases above and one could create out of thin air whatever theory they so desired. I am not one to do that hence the creation of this thread. In the hopes of enlightening others to the hidden layers so that you may not be fooled. This is the number 1 tool of satirical writers, most of their writings will mark very high on all branches above if they are good.

Now onto the big one! So we know the theory & the branches of fate what next?

For this we must talk about CONTENT MANIPULATION and what that means for all of you. This is by far the MOST IMPORTANT part of the entire post. Using the below tactics you can forever change public perception of not just a theory but all content. This is because up until now it has all worked naturally with the horde mentality being auto generated randomly in reaction to the content.

• CONTENT MANIPULATION through administrative actions

  The admin of a website controls moderation of content to generate a specific action! Example: Admin Dislikes Theory and thinks it is stupid and starts to delete any mention of the theory and banning users

  This goes against the theory in close proximity but causes a ripple effect because of a simple truth! When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs in them will become more powerful. This is due to something called the The Backfire Effect.

  Thus growing a conspiracy theory to a cult-like status! forever solidifying its position in discussion for years to come!

   

• CONTENT MANIPULATION through disruptive actions

  The users of a website control perception of content to generate a specific action! This works in the same way as the above but without administrative actions to control content! Instead the users may start to push memes and/or a thought into posts.

  This can quickly spread and change public opinion. But this tactic is mainly used on non theories and is the main tool to hide truth when it is exposed.

  What usually happens is some truthful content will be posted and the goal is to make the readers disbelieve it. They do so by mass commenting against or engaging in character assassination of the author. Thus breaking down belief in the information.

This is used widely by many conspiracy forums and/or alternative news agencies. In one form or another. Some of the biggest conspiracy theories to ever exist could have indeed been created this same way. The whole reason glp became so racist is because it was allowed. The dindu hating group of glp with memes and whatnot is a huge generator of revenue.

All larger conspiracy forums currently employ the above tactics to control and sway the user base they have!

P.s – If you allow the system to work without bringing emotion into it and taking control yourself you will start to see that popularity of conspiracy theories that are lacking evidence or are pure bullshit in the sphere of influence that acts this way diminishes. Or it generally has a low score overall. That is because it is no longer being fed by the backfire effect.

So if you do not believe in a conspiracy theory? want rid of it? then ignore it exists at all. Give it no attention or emotion and it will all take care of itself!

Now i’ve told you all too much
