I'd say the conspiracy stuff is more that either the individuals are ignorant of Hanlons Razor or simply refuse to accept it's applicability.
Combined with supremacist beliefs (They are superior which gives them insight others can't possess) and we get pretty much all the conspiracy theories.
Sadly, there are plenty of very real conspiracies in this world, doing immense harms, yet those are seemingly actively ignored by the theorists... Which I often presume to be a result of the inability for the theorist to hold the "special knowledge" card as any who looks at the evidence would come to the same position and thus the promulgation of such legitimate theories are "too mainstream" for those seeking to further thier self delusion of supremacy.
