i get that this is jokes but the central core delusion of rightwing conspiracy theories is that they’re the victims. like, that’s it. that’s the whole thing.
they unblinkingly accept the world that this society has granted them: a world in which cis, het, abled(ish) white folks are the only people who are people.
but things still suck for them. this world still fucking sucks, in large part because their own desperation to maintain their position as The Only Real People has led them into generations of incredibly stupid, cruel, selfish, short-sighted policy decisions.
welfare is whittled to nothing, wages stagnate, climate disasters keep happening, and the un-people are angrier and weirder and louder than ever even as city budgets drain away into the armored fists of militarized police.
this world fucking sucks, it sucks for everyone. the only real people in the world got together and made a world that fucking sucks.
but wait, what? how can that be possible? how can that be true?
well, it can’t be. it shouldn’t be. it isn’t.
surely there’s this other government, this evil government, this secret government, to explain it. maybe it only looks like they got what they asked for. it’s got to be something, anything, but consequences.
so fuck it. it’s probably the space lizards.
that makes way more sense.
