by A really good article by Jonathan Cook going into why many people believe conspiracy theories. After being lied to about Iraq and WMD, 9/11 - where the government wouldn't listen to people's concerns and extend the enquiry - and where we were told that neoliberalism would bring about a better, brighter future but we ended with something far worse instead, people just don't believe anything the establishment says anymore.In the past, science has sometimes been distorted by commercial interests, and so 5g remains distrusted, despite the research saying it's okay.Whenever a new technology comes along, conspiracy theories and fears go along with it, says Jonathan Cook.I remember when it became fashionable for British pubs to have books in, not that anyone read them, and most were

Whenever a new technology comes along, conspiracy theories and fears go along with it, says Jonathan Cook.
I remember when it became fashionable for British pubs to have books in, not that anyone read them, and most were uninteresting second hand junk, picked up in bulk cheap somewhere. But my girlfriend and I once found one really great book which we would often read, while I got slowly inebriated. It was hundreds of years old, and in one chapter the doctor who wrote the book complained about tea.
Tea had just been approved for general use in the UK, but he said it contained caffeine, a powerful alkaloid drug, and he said that Britain had become a lawless place because it of it with crime skyrocketing among the youth. Society was breaking down, he bemoaned. His book was full of interesting stuff like that.
