I leave a lot out - like the revenged humiliation section has three really good examples of conspiracists who became conspiracy theorists right after a particularly publicly humiliating experience - two examples of which I particularly appreciated:

Naomi Wolf was a famous liberal feminist who, during an interview, had the thesis that formed the basis of an entire book she wrote exposed as a basic misunderstanding of a legal concept. After that experience, she really lost her mind and now she is a conspiracist who posts anti-vaccine content and co-hosts a show with Steve Bannon.

Likewise, Candace Owens originally was an anti-racist activist after she experienced racist harassment in school, and she didn't become a conservative until she launched a website that essentially aimed to doxx anyone who made racist statements, which was responded to not only by universal condemnation, but also the internet doxxing her. That experience caused her to become "a conservative overnight", and now she's so anti-Semitic even the right-wing Daily Wire had to boot her from the organization.

There's so much I didn't capture or didn't represent well, so I highly recommend watching the video. It's not as long as it seems, lol. It also helps if you just watch a chapter at a time - you probably watch 10 - 20 minute videos all the time, this is just a bunch of 10 - 20 minute videos chapterized into one longer video.
