I'm not sure if this is the correct sub-forum to place this question/topic in, so I apologize if it's not.
Anyway, after I found the JREF Forum, I quickly caught interest in various conspiracy theories. After a couple years of researching CT's from JFK to 9/11, i'm still left wondering why there seems to be a somewhat sizable amount of people (on the internet) who actually believe in these crazy theories. I don't fully understand the typical conspiracy believer, however I do know a few things: 1. A portion of CT believers are not believers at all, they're just trolling. YouTube is a trolls playground. and 2. Those that do believe are ignorant, uneducated or mentally ill (paranoid). I've come to this conclusion since the majority of them believe in more than one conspiracy. Actually, the CT nuts I've encountered online believe in almost every CT known.
You have the right to your opinion. Being crazy is not a crime, neither is non-aggressive/violent antisemitism, which brings me to my question: Why does there seem to be more than a few conspiracy nuts that think the Jews are behind every conspiracy? The Holocaust is either a hoax or grossly over estimated. 9/11 was carried out by Israel or some kind of Jewish element within the United States Government. Jews run the banks, government and media, therefore they rule the world. Jews want to reduce the world's population and enslave the non-Jews that are spared execution, by putting them in FEMA camps. Or the most ridiculous one i've heard lately; The Jews framed Adolf Hitler. Hitler didn't write anything close to what could be considered antisemitism in Mein Kampf. The Jews (somehow) edited the book before its release and added all of the Jewish hatred quotes... Yeah, I encountered a Hitler hugger who seriously believed that. He claimed Hitler didn't hate Jews, Jews hated Hitler.
So. Does anyone have some kind of idea or reason as to why these conspiracy theorists blame the 'evil Joooos' for everything negative in the world? It almost seems as if these people would blame Jews for getting a pimple or having a bad hair day. It's ridiculous and when you call them out on their antisemitism, they deny it and sometimes call you a reverse racist (whatever that means). I've actually been called a reverse racist by a Neo Nazi because I called his view on history, "Antisemitic". It was a crazy accusation I guess, since he only blamed Jews for both World Wars, framing Hitler and conspiring to exterminate the Aryan race. Not like he was being deliberately biased.
Anyway, ideas on the Jewish aspect of conspiracies? Why do CT's seem to hate Jews. What did the Jews do to them?
