 Conspiracy theories are basically liberation politics for people who are stuck ideologically as liberal capitalists. You get to preserve the comforting national mythology by inventing a new story about the corrupting influence of "elites" who have infiltrated and co-opted institutions which would otherwise be working just fine, with the added benefit of these elites being so all powerful and inscrutable that you go right on doing nothing about it and never feel guilty.
