I think what has happened in culture is that the most ridiculous blown out version of everything gets the most attention instead of the logical and obviously reasonable version. This ridiculous version is easy to ignore and knock down. This happens over and over again.
The truth is often boring. Most "conspiracy theories" that I have found to be true have versions that sound ridiculous but it is all in the way it is presented. This is true of the deep state theories as well.
If you want to understand the world around you, you need to be comfortable with not knowing a lot of things for sure. But most of all you need to understand incentives, human nature, and logic. That clears up most conspiracy theories.
In general never only take the opposition's story if you want to understand. Listen to what people that believe a theory actually say in their own words. This is true in researching anything including religion. Humans love to straw man those they disagree with. You have to avoid that if you want to have a clear picture.
But, many just don't care and that's cool. There is little you can do about these evil people in the world. Best to build a strong body, family, and community. But in order to do that it helps to teach those around you how to think critically. Especially your family.
One thing you have to ask yourself is "How would someone who thinks they're the good guy have done this?" It often makes the story more boring, but it also makes it more likely.
Most villains aren't mustache twirling psychopaths. They're people with power who think they're right.

Exactly. I have explained it this way to my blue pilled friends.
