Why do people fall for this shit?

[Updatemate]

A friend of mine has just posted this conspiracy theory website:

www.stopworldcontrol.com/full/

She whole=heartedly believes every word. Why?

I have spent most of my afternoon off reading it and then the sources underneath. Over half them do not say even remotely what the article says they do and the other half (so far) only say it if you take it completely out of context.

Why are people so stupid/ gullible/ easily led?

I'm not saying I believe everything in the mainstream media - I don't I'm a scientist and researcher by training so tend to skip the media altogether and go straight to the research to form my own conclusions but they definitely fall more closely aligned with the mainstream media, no matter how I try to read it!

@Devlesko

It's personal preference, not everyone is a scientist or likes to conduct research about something they don't believe. I'm not suggesting they are right or wrong, but do remember they think you are gullible/ stupid and eaily led

Coming from an anti-vaxxer conspiracy people who likes to call people sheeple.

my neigbour produces a weekly email news letter....i am not on the mailing list....its full of conspiracy stuff..this time it says the virus is caused by the nwo etc and that tony blair is also involved....as much as i hate tony blair i doubt he has anything to do with this although if he could make money out of it, he probably would !!
