It seems that most people prefer to reduce complex realities to simplistic fallacies. Society and politics are complex, and many people would rather take the easy route of playing blame games than expend the effort of working for a better society. Regrettably, people from all political orientations do this.

The easiest way to play the blame game is with a conspiracy theory. In brief, a conspiracy theory works by convincing people to fear an imaginary plot. It’s a method of control to get people to be so afraid they play the blame game rather than think constructively much less work together constructively.
