Are conspiracy theories destroying democracy?

reply to post by JuniorDisco


you left out the repealing of things like glass speigle
which is conspiracy fact

I wonder which did more damage
the theory ( easily proven )that corrupt people conspired in the repealing of those banking safeguards designed to prevent another great depression
or the great depression

Glass-Steagall [sic] was repealed because banks wanted to make money by leveraging commercial assets through securities purchases. It may not have been desirable, but it's eminently understandable in purely commercial terms and not a 'conspiracy'.
