What makes conspiracy theorist's tick, is actually concerns for their own society and people and a belief in telling the truth and they support proper law and order and proper justice in courts and fair trails and proper elections that actually are not rigged and that have independent audits. The public is very concerned naturally about big corporations that have gotten way too greedy and are trying to rigg democracy and laws and elections and court cases and truth and fair trails for anyone. We all should be concerned with all that and should be supporting what is correct and good.

@@Lee-cc9jf True. But with exceptions. An employer of a tipped employee is required to pay only $ 2. 13 an hour in direct wages if (1) that amount plus tips equals at least the minimum wage, (2) the employee keeps all tips, and (3) the employee regularly receives at least $ 30 a month in tips. If the employee’s tips do not bring his pay up to the minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference. When an employee is subject to both state and federal tipped employee wage laws, the employee is entitled to the benefits provided by the more generous law. (Connecticut tip wage law creates a $ 4. 88 minimum wage for waiters and other service employees, and $ 6. 33 for bartenders. )

Obviously the state, police and prosecutors will be immune, but won't it make it hard for example for people in a work place to report someone they think is bullying them? Or even someone who's home is broken into and they think they know who did it to report them? If they're wrong they've libelled someone?

That's simply not true. "outside of group think" is not the same as a conspiracy theory. However, many conspiracy theorists try to make it look like that's what they're doing, just "outside of group think". But not everything that everyone thinks is "group think". People believe that, if they jump 20m off a ledge, they're likely to die. That's because it's true. Going against group think and jumping off a cliff will get you killed. Believing something just because nobody else does doesn't make it true. In fact, it makes it less likely. Not impossible, but there's usually a reason many people believe the same thing, because it's rooted in truth. A lot of conspiracy theorists revolve around "look where the money is". Look at where those conspiracy theorists are making their money: On social media, clickbait translates to views, which translates to revenue. It starts out that simple. Or they're flat out paid by a state (often Russia). So yes, in general, critical thinking is very much a good thing, and you may well come up with opinions and views outside the main stream, but it's important to realize also when you're just jumping off the bandwagon, as in, abandoning all reality. This is a strategy: Russian propaganda is not about a story, it's about attacking the concept of truth itself. Don't fall for it. Be smart. That's the only way to actually improve your situation, and yourself: facing reality.
