Just because people read about conspiracy theories, doesn't mean they believe in them 100%. There's a lot of shit going on in the background that us as citizens are never told. I would rather be informed and keep my government in check, rather than just be an ignorant pawn in its plan.

How, pray tell, are you keeping the government in check? By supporting inane conspiracy theories on a video game forum? Do you clutch the remote control in hopes that one of these days, Obama will come up to the podium and say "Hey, you know -- we thought we had a pretty good gig going. But moklianne figured us out. 9/11 was totally planned by us, Osama bin Laden has been dead for a decade, and Jews run the world." Did any of these conspiracy theories prevent the US from staging a decade-long war involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan? Of course not.
What you're doing is diluting the legitimacy of actual complaints regarding the government. When you support impossibly vast and complex conspiracies, such as: "9/11 was performed by the government", "Jews run the world", "Obama isn't an American citizen", and "the government has been run by aliens for years", you reduce the value of legitimate complaints, ie: those regarding the massive financial bailout that aided the top 0.2% of the nation while taking money out of the pockets of the lower 99.8%.
