More down-to-earth, plausible conspiracies leave open the possibility of action. The majority of conspiracy theories are created to comfort the people believing them. That is, they suspect the US government of evil actions with regards to September 11th, or water fluoridation, or disaster relief. This is an intolerable state of affairs, but by making the evil grandiose and seemingly omnipotent, they are relieved of responsibility for stopping it, which is paradoxically comforting.

Why would anyone care about Freemason symbols without being a conspiracy theorist inventing reasons to persecute an (in the US and UK) admittedly sexist fraternal organization?
