why do boomers believe in conspiracy for the sake of conspiracy?
i was trying to talk about the iraqi and syrian baathist parties to some boomer relatives and they all insisted both saddam and assad were western puppets, created by the usa and supported by them in spite of the obvious evidence to the contrary
they think almost everything, from vaccines to toothpaste and 9/11 to notre dame, is a conspiracy and its just beyond me why because they often dont even have any arguments or evidence besides "its obvious" or "listen to x youtuber"

It mostly comes from boredom and being intellectually unsatisfied

In one word: paranoia.

>conspiracies have no evidence.
No shit, you faggot zoomer. That is what a conspiracy is.

They worry about losing their individuality. But they don't realize how much it takes, to keep it nowadays. Their life until now has been on Tutorial Mode.

I had a Boomer family friend give me a Bible once. He bookmarked a page, and it said "The rod of Discipline," or something like that. And he knew I was an abused kid. Idiot didn't realize who actually needed Discipline.

The modern world is too complicated for the average monkey brain, so they cut facts off their existence so they can store it all in a nice little shoebox. Making sense of the world.

no it isnt there is evidence for some other conspiracies
the uss liberty incident is called a conspiracy and theres concrete evidence for that
but something like the queen being a lizard alien or stalin being a western puppet are just retarded

Theres a big difference between believing a plausible conspiracy with no evidence and something retarded and with evidence going against it.

>no it isnt there is evidence for some other conspiracies
They are not conspiracies then. A conspiracy by definition is a secret plot without supporting evidence. If they had real evidence like what OP requested, they would no longer be conspiracies. You're basically asking for someone to prove the impossible.

boomers are narcissistic control freaks. the reason people get obsessed with conspiracies is that they give the person a sense of control over the narrative of events, and it gives them a sense of superiority because they are in the know and everyone else is stupid. that is why they are appealing.
