Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he or she lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.--Michael Rivero in "What Really Happened"

3. I think that excerpt stands alone... |

And is not applicable only to what might be called "conspiracy theories".
Funny term, that. My great uncle said "rumors" were running rampant through his US Army encampment in Italy, that there were Jews being held prisoner by the thousands in Germany, and that millions had been killed. He said he didn't believe it, because that would require far too many people keeping their mouths shut about it.
