if you dont question things you are equally as brainwashed. People that discount everything that isn't mainstream are just as brainwashed as those who believe everyone who is "mainstream" is brainwashed.
99% of the "tinfoil" hat conspiracy theories are just made for profit. Alot of people like alex jones are just carnies, they dont really want the truth , they relish in confusion. They profit from confusion.
Humans by instinct like to learn , any discussion even the most absurd is just a learning process, some people just absorb less , or get bored easy
