A conspiracy theory that makes your 40 year old Facebook mom believe they should get vaccinated or believe the earth is round.
Anti-conspiracy theory: “The earth is actually flat, however the government wants you to thinks its flat. When in reality it’s round”

Gateway Conspiracy Theory.
Typically a conspiracy that does less harm than the other theories.
It often leads to more dangerous conspiracy theories.
Hence the term " gateway"
E.G: flerfers or flat-earthers theory could be less dangerous than say, a theory that the the elites are out to destroy us all, as it USUALLY has no real-life consequence.
Whereas a conspiracy theory that states the elites are out to destroy us all can lead upto and include death by suicide, paranoia, etc.

Gateway Conspiracy Theory.
That bloke that topped himself used to just be into #GatewayConspiracyTheories, flat earth, etc.
Then he went onto the hard stuff, like the elites want to kill us all.

You think it’s silly to be a conspiracy theorist? Well I think it’s silly that you trust the media and the government. That’s why I believe a conspiracy theory can be true.

Something made up by morons because they either lack understanding in political and scientific consensus, ergo disbelieving it to cover up the fact they aren't educated on those topics. In short, a conspiracy theory is made to make stupid people feel more intelligent and scholarly, albeit the only sources they have gathered information from are either from YouTube, Facebook, or some satire hoax video or an article from a conspiracy website rather than an official source or fact checking their sources before blindly believing it. They won't research on both sides of the narrative because they are biased towards their narrative and prefer to cherry pick their evidence, e.g they won't check for logical fallacies or contradictions, won't check if the source has a history of spreading misinformation, they won't bother checking the date of when the source was published, on this account they begin to spout shit that had already been disproved by professionals or those in power. For those who are unable to differentiate between critical thinking and conspiracy theorism, conspiracy theorists tend to blindly follow a source, ironically they call their more intellectually superior counterparts sheeple for blindly following the mainstream news, but they nevertheless follow an alternative source by some random guy on social media or a conspiracy or pseudoscience article.
Idiot: Have you ever heard of "pLaNdEmIc?"
Educated person: Yes I have heard of the plandemic conspiracy theory, but because I actually took my time to search for errors in the source i.e logical fallacies, who created the video (an anti vaxxer) and research on what scientists had to say about it and according to the scientists, the vaccine is safe and I shall be having it when it is my turn. 😁
Idiot: Yeah whatever dumb sheeple 💉🐑
So don't be like the idiot and be like the educated person because the educated person has done their critical thinking, used fact check sources such as BBC reality check, researched the truth about vaccines on pro-science sources etc. If you are unsure of the type of websites you should be retaining facts from, try asking a professional i.e a doctor, librarian, teacher or a professor.

Can you believe some people think that anti-Whites want to destroy the White race just because they LITERALLY FUCKING SAY that they want to create a world where everyone (in the White countries) is mixed and there are no more White people, what a conspiracy theory!
