Also conspiracy communities attract sociopaths who seek easily manipulated people, and this often takes the form described here of touting oneself as the megamind who has been silenced by the establishment. I'm thinking of the Weinsteins specifically, who actually claim that between the 2 brothers and 1 of their wives, they deserve 3 separate Nobel Prizes but have been stifled by conspiratorial forces in academia and government.
