First, remember that the term "conspiracy theory" was invented by the CIA to discredit alternative explanations for the JFK assassination. The term has been emotionally hijacked, so please don't use it. In fact, everyone here should be adamantly be opposed to even calling something a conspiracy theory. It creates automatic bias and a lack of reception.
The key to understanding what's real is trusting your sources.
What's more trustable to you: 1) a crazy blog post by some random person proposing something you've never heard of before, or 2) a declassified government document hosted on a .gov domain? By objective measures, number 2 is more trusted.
For example, let's say the blog poster made wild claims about something called the "Gateway Process" and US Army research into altered states of consciousness for out-of-body experiences. He's heard it from sources too sensitive to out, so we just have to trust him. But, what if a document describing exactly these things exist on the CIA's website? cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5.pdf
My point is, you have to figure it out for yourself. This information is not intended for public knowledge, until it is. Sources can be compromised to include misinformation, even well-meaning ones.
Gather lots of information from many sources. Consider the independence (and dependence) of each source. The true ideas will emerge from the many painted strokes. It's difficult, but it's possible.
I agree with on both accounts.

if your conspiracy only started after a big global event started its probably fake. Bill Gates and WHO is evil theories for example, which didnt exist before corona. This is just people seeing something change and their fucked up minds are seeing things. This happened with many other things too.
The theories that actually predict something have a basis at least. And no "something big will happen" isn't a prediction.
Also you need to differentiate between conspiracy theory (which is based on evidence and science) and a conspiracy myth, which is based on feelings. Most "theories" are actually the latter.

Obama's birth certificate is a fake. HRC first raised the issue about Obama's foreign birth during the 2008 Dem Primary. The deep state told her drop the issue because Obama was their guy and that it would be "her turn" after. "It's my turn!" Trump literally was not suppose to win.
Trump actually won the popular vote, in fact he probably won by 60 to 75 percent of the vote imo. The "polls", and popular vote numbers are just made up. Trump = huge rallies, HRC = high school gym.
Scalia was whacked. That open seat was supposed to be a gift to HRC from the deep state.
"Michelle" Obama is Mike Obama. Those aren't their kids. They're borrowed from their lifelong friends.
China released COVID-19 on purpose to take attention away from the HK protesters, have the perfect reason to ban said protesters from assembling and to fuck over the US economy as America continues to divest in China.
Yes there are secret societies working together for a one world government, currency, and religion. They're occultists and satanists.
>Bill Gates and WHO is evil theories for example Both of these conspiracies have existed long before Corona. WHO going back to the 70s. Gates to the early 90s.

I'm not much of a skeptic because I was raised wealthy, so most of the theories would be about me, but: Many theories about the CIA are essentially true, but they've put out false theories to make them sound crazy. Bigfoot probably did exist, just not humanoid, he was most likely an emaciated bear. Roswell wasn't about aliens, but it was a cover up. Oswald didn't kill JFK, a secret service agent accidentally did and the government hid the brain for fear of reprisal against him. MK Ultra type things were quite common a few decades ago. It was easy to discredit people as drugged up hippies, now it's easier for the common person to gather evidence. We landed on the moon, but some of the footage is fake because we fucked up and put the flag too close to the lander. It fell over when they launched back to the Apollo. I know reality is often less sensational, but that's just how things are.
