I wish people would evaluate their own susceptibility to conspiracy theory thinking. There is no evidence of this other than "it is something I've seen in the movies that seems plausible," which frankly is more or less the same level of proof as "Plandemic" and "Antivax."



This is one of the most common things in the political world, we even have a name for it. It's the revolving door.

Extremely weird or naive to think of it as an implausible conspiracy theory.
