@Egg @Gargron actually this is more about the education and self-esteem of the person than its economy:

TL;DR: Low educated and low self-esteemed people tend to believe more in conspiracies, no more factors found AFAIK.

@Moshpirit @Gargron interesting. I wonder why we associate these trends with Rich people then? maybe it's because there's celebrity proponents of some conspiracies

@Egg @Gargron I don't associate it with rich people. But yes, lots of celebrities are in conspirational theories and pseudosciences. It's depressing seeing this kind of movements grow.
