Right? Like, conspiracy theorists are *so* close to the mark, while still *completely* missing the point.

"There's a group of people, spread around the globe, who influence all the world's governments from the shadows, who control the world (or at least exercise undue influence over it), and consistently promote the interests of their in-group over everyone else," and then they'll go identify this group as the Jewish community, or lizard people, or aliens, or whatever bizarre nonsense they've come up with now, rather than realizing the much more prosaic answer that it's just rich people. Their "secret meetings" are just meeting up at yacht parties and horse races and country clubs and talking shop. They control democracies via lobbying and campaign donations, and dictatorships via bribery. They influence world events by throwing money around. They promote their own self-interest, which includes promoting their class interests over the interests of the other classes. There's no secret conspiracy, just the simple fact that money brings power, and the interests of the rich often happen to align.

If anything it makes so little sense because most often those with the most money and sway are those who are in the majority groups of society. People simply want reasons to hate on their minority of choice.
