It's this example of textbook paranoid delusion that discredits most
conspiracy theorists for me.

They are zealots first and foremost. Their 'belief' is just an excuse
for their behavior. It it wasn't the conspiracy theories it would be
some other form of paranoia to stimulate their rantings.

Sadly many people peddle their own opinions to other people as
free-thought. If they don't accept it then they are considered to be
'closed minded'.

If anyone gives me the choice of being either 'with' them or 'against'
them I'll always choose 'against'. I don't like people of that
attitude.
