Belief in personal victimhood linked to belief in conspiracy theories

Any group of people who places all of their fears, anxieties, and hate into one demographic is inherently a conspiracy driven ideology.

To further mention about the personal victimhood aspect, I've come across different feminist groups with different beliefs about beauty standards for women.

One group claims women's beauty standards are rooted in pedophillia e.g. hairlessness, docile, youthful, virgin.

Another group claims women's beauty standards is to have oversized breasts, butt, extremely tiny waist and wide hips. Representing a sex-doll.

When you look at the members of these groups, many of them are insecure, consume media that confirms their beliefs, etc.

The easiest way to bring people together and justify manipulations is to have a common enemy, in the past it was communism, today it is men, preferably white and rich, and in some places it is men of color.

So, weird off the cuffs hypothesis, what if the correlation was stronger in countries where the gov't routinely gets caught red-handed and publicly exposed pulling shady stunts, and was even strongest about people who suffered from gov't corruption, while places where the gov't can get away with shady stuff without anyone exposing them tend to have lower correlations? Worth investigating, no?

Also, feminism is in a weird spot of being the ONLY conspiracy theory to be, at the time where I am writing this comment, actively pushed and promoted by the government basically everywhere.

Everybody believes in conspiracy theories. Also the term "linked" is often a bullshit term in how it's used.

I'm not totally familiar with psypost but I'd be suspicious of how trustworthy it is based on this headline alone.

That explains most of Reddit community too. Everyone is either degenerate or a victim

Delusions of persecution.
