It's hard to wrap your head around but easy to understand on a basic level. History is too complex with no actual narratives to fit into an easily digestible paragraph so that when people feel something is "wrong" with the flow of history and that "things" are getting "worse" their confused fears become easy prey to digestible explanations that make them feel at the center of the universe with a tangible evil to be the good counterpoint to. Poo flinging apes who've only been out of the trees a short time simply don't have brains built to comprehend the sheer amount of information necessary to grasp the actual flow of history. I guarantee an AI with sufficiently advanced intelligence to comprehend the world would find your and my ideas about "what's really going on" to be embarrassingly simplistic and misguided as well.
And also reptilians living in the interior of the hollow earth and Nazi flying saucer bases in the Antarctic are too much fun to let die. And did you know the hollow earth and hollow moon theories are completely separate and unrelated?! Amazing!
