Believing in conspiracy theories can have the effect of letting an otherwise powerless person feel like they have control over the world they live in. That they can better navigate what troubles may come, because of their superior understanding of how the world really is.
I understand the appeal and have a bargain to propose:
I will not hire a lion to eat you so long as you stop promoting your delusions as truth. You can keep your beliefs - just stop bothering others with them. Do that and you shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will be eaten by a lion today.
