I'm going to show you how a conspiracy theory is used in the form of a myth, to tell extant literal truths, which cannot be told in any other way. With some examples.
Where the conspiracy theorist cannot talk about it in any other way, except by myth. Because that would be self indicting.
Because they know deep down where no one can see it, that they are fully yet indirectly complicit in a much bigger problem.
So they are forbidden from saying it literally. And need an escape route. Which still deflects from own complicity. Nonetheless they need a way of saying it due to the shame and guilt of it. Being still human, they need a 'confessor'.
So use a derivative remote and lesser form of the bigger problem they're trying to escape from. Often not even remotely connected literally with the actual injustice. It is enough that the myth signals it unconsciously.
Here are some examples. Except for the first, I'm not saying I'm right. I am saying do your own research and come up with your own analysis:
1) The Primary Root Theory - a cabal of wealth and power, is intent on depopulation and control, being the root contender, all others being derivative branches, while everyone without exception has a great deal of complicity in all the great social problems - You see it's easy to blame the winners if you're a loser in the same game where you've always known the rules and would say nothing if you were a winner.
2) the earth is flat, while private property in it is destroying it. Yet we all want some of it.
3) moon landing hoax, when there's been zero innovation for decades, but there's huge opportunities for it if only we would build on the opportunities rather than preferring the state met all our obligations for us instead.
4) the Gaza genocide, while genocides a thousand times bigger, in plain sight, go totally unattended. That is to say - 73 million aborted foetuses annually.
5) alien invasion, when the world feels like it's about to be destroyed and needs a saviour from the sky. So sometimes a myth can be positive, looking for salvation as well as negative.
There are many more. And each may have it's own sub-branch too e.g. the cabal uses a toxic vaccine, or the cabal has compromised all leaders long ago and as so on and so on.
It's mportant to remember the conspiracy theory might also be true. But far more important is the intent to deflect away from the bigger injustice the theorist is complicit in. You can deflect and distract easily and make it stick projecting from downstream to upstream problems But it's hard to deflect from the bigger to the smaller - the bigger will hold sway once visible due to the enormous power in it's optics. So it is never discussed by the collective.
In the end, most social justice questions are these derivatives sitting way downstream from the primary root theory, distracting and deflecting away from much bigger system wide problems.
Political party's are totally geared up to reinforce this. Show me a single party manifesto which ever talks directly about dealing with upstream root cause? The only policy a party will allow are small and divisive downstream ones. They know if they go to the root they will become unelectable because they only ever speak about what the collective wants. And the collective only wants to escape from own complicity.
So I'm saying here that a myth takes the form of a pretend or relatively unimportant social problem elsewhere. It's pretend and mythical because it deliberately ignores the really big problem. It is still a truth because of it's primary intent to reveal what is extant. It is being told in another way because to tell it literally is forbidden by the tribe. It's a myth because we all know deep down it's a derivative story about something real that's too big to say literally. So big that if someone tells it they will face significant risk from the rest of the tribe trying to shut them down. To the point of exile or even death.
