Conspiracies in history have been floating around the public's eye forever at this point. Sometimes it's easy to convince someone that a conspiracy is actual if they trust you. The problem with this is with conspiracies. The truth of the actual situation is blurred, and theorists break down the truth so much that it could be impossible to come back to the truth without acknowledging the conspiracy because of their evidence.

The people who start a conspiracy can be the ones to blame for blurring the lines of real or fake truth. One person who leads an example of telling theories is David Icke. David, a former British football player, used his platform of misinformation about theories about religion and turned it into a career, gaining thousands of followers on Twitter before being removed from the site in 2020 due to misinformation about COVID-19. Spearing conspiracies and false info have turned into careers for those committed. Still, the person's reputation can become damaged most of the time because what they could be saying can be incorrect.

Therefore, the theories can be false because, without specific evidence, most people will disregard the conspiracy. Therefore, what happens when the theory has lots of evidence to back it up that the truth told could be false. The prime example that everyone thinks about when they go back to conspiracy theories that could be true is the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This blog will not go over the conspiracies' on the death because there are too many to go over. But, of course, it's a massive conspiracy because of being the President, which leads to an excellent point. These theories will always involve a public figure of very high status towards an audience or a dangerous criminal that gains public attention. That is why a conspiracy can last as long it can go due to public interest.

Conspiracies will pique the public's interest due to the entertainment people strive to find something new. Let's say you have a buddy of yours's who tells you about this crazy rumor about a well-known public figure that could be true, but there is no evidence to either disprove or approve that the rumor is accurate. You would start to be interested in the point you also need to tell people. For these conspiracy theorists, that is a goal of their work. If people talk about something you made up or thought was the truth, the results will start to take over.

The world of conspiracies will go on and on forever because people can either be misinformed or look for something interesting to tell everyone else. So, to conclude, we will constantly be misinformed by someone either trying to prove a point or just trying to gain an audience for themselves.
