Have you heard the name of Ropar? Ropar…from there my brother wrote a letter to me– “Don’t think of me, I am not alone. With me there are hundreds of thousands of people, those who are dreaming to build a new society…fighting…the hungry people of our country are fighting; people who barely have one meal a day. The entire Asia is fighting, Latin America, I want to live among all the freedom loving people of the world…”

Rather than making people into internationalists, conspiracy theories train the masses to see oppression as inevitable, justified, out of our control, or originating from other oppressed groups rather than the bourgeoisie. These theories often base their explanations for the state of the world on an unchangeable “human nature,” or the idea that there will always be people who have evil in them that cannot be rooted out. They provide oversimplified answers to complex social phenomena. Worse than that, they divert people who have a profound sense of the injustice of the world from developing a more sophisticated understanding of the system responsible for their oppression. At their core, conspiracy theorists are false prophets—people who talk about fighting oppression without ever having to be about it.
