Bobby will soon understand that all conspiracy theories have their own internal logic, and most attempts at discrediting them tend to just betray ignorance about said theory. It's like telling a Star Wars fan that those movies are stupid because people can't move objects with their minds. Or telling a Christian that their belief in the afterlife is nonsense because there's no scientific proof. They will of course say, yes but is there proof that the afterlife does NOT exist?
So you can dismiss it all as crazy, nonsensical, a waste of time, but the absolute worst thing you can do, and the most foolish, is call it dangerous and censor-worthy. That is only going to fuel the fire among these folks, and confirm to them they were right. Conspiracy theories are the new comics, rock music, hip hop, anime, video games, all of whom faced public outcry and the threat of the ban hammer at some point in history. There's no point in suppressing them in the hope they'll go away. It's no longer just "right-wing nutjobs" or paranoid ex-hippies... people from all walks of life, all levels of intelligence, now take conspiracy theories seriously. It's the new counterculture. And it's here to stay.

I think that's an interesting perspective about conspiracy theories. The way I see them is they make people feel special. Like they have secret knowledge that nobody else has. They can also be almost like cults in a way. Ex-flat Earthers for example talk about how they had trouble leaving the community even after they came to terms with the truth.
