That reminds me of when I used to travel alot and conspiratards would tell me about the shadow groups that ran the world, but it would always be local ones

That was hilarious. Instead of Rothschilds, or Blackrock, its a French fraternal order in Paris.

those kind of people never notice the flaws in their theory, such as there being so many shadow groups that they would have to compete for power, the same as if no shadow group existed

There is a simple explanation for this within their canon, similar to how it works with religions - my conspiracy theory is the real one, the others are all wrong and/or planted by the baddies of my conspiracy theory.

There are sometimes fun crossover episodes between different conspiracy theories. But as soon as some incongruency between them forms a flaw in logic that you pointed out, it instantly goes to “yup, they are wrong, and my conspiracy is the right one.”
