The Living Force
Such people are like children (albeit some with prodigious intellects), and they quickly intuit what the implications for them of what we are saying. The implications of any 'crazy conspiracy theory' for such people are, essentially, that we live in a world where the authorities are corrupt and not only do not care about their wards (the people) but are actively attempting to harm them in one way or another.
The rational response to this (if it were assumed to be true) is for the people to ditch their reliance on authorities and assume responsibility for their own lives, the lives of others and the world around them, to take responsibility for the 'big stuff' that the authorities are supposedly responsible for.
The problem is that many people are fundamentally UNABLE to do this, and to ask them to do so (in the form of asking them to accept, or at least consider, an alternative view of the nature and intentions of the authorities of this world) is the same as asking a 5 year old child to ditch its abusive parents and go out in the world on its own, get a car, a job and start paying the bills. To the child, that suggestion is literally crazy because the child IS literally unable to do it.
Well, there's another rational response, which is to seek different authorities. The majority of people are indeed incapable of taking full responsibility for their lives, including making an objective evaluation of all information. That's just the reality of humans, and it isn't reasonable to expect them to each become fully independent minded, self-willed individuals.
This could at root be one of the main things holding back dissidents. By our own nature, we tend to think for ourselves, making us more likely to notice the lies; being in a sense natural cognitive anarchists, we want the authoritarians around us to "wake up" to the way they're being deceived and used. But our core message is "think for yourself!", which is fundamentally beyond them.
A more effective approach would be to offer an alternative source of authority - one that genuinely cares about the truth and the common welfare, one which won't lie to them for its own benefit. A real movement could crystallize around such a strategy, one that - as things become increasingly tyrannical and untenable in the current mainstream - could ultimately displace the parasite lords.
Basically, we are currently ruled by an evil king, and respond to this rule that we should have no kings. But the people cannot rally around a nullity or an abstraction. They can, however, rally to the banner of a wise king.
