I used to compare it to a religion but that doesn't fit either. Religion can actually have a positive effect on people and generally does for the most part (not always as we all know). Chasing delusions can only do harm. Does this mean we don't question things regarding our governments words and actions? Of course not, it is our civic duty to do EXACTLY that. However insinuating they have evil agendas with every move they make is paranoia at its worst.
