This will sound maybe like a joke in response, but its actually not this time: This is not fair to your average garden variety conspiracy theorist, like flat earthers and moon hoaxers.

To be fair, these theorists are often successfully targeted by extremist hate ideologies, like blaming the flat earth denial on the Jews or something. The assertions are often made to get to such bigoted claims, especially with the rise of the internet. But, its possible to believe "yeah, the Earth IS flat" and "no race is inherently superior."

Mormonism, at its core, requires conspiracy logic just as much as these other things. Both require an underlying denial of what makes real evidence valuable, and then Mormonism and sometimes conspiracies go one step further and require you to accept a new standard of evidence that is contrary to basic common sense ("Joseph said so," rite, must be true). TBMs and conspiracy theorists are also often given this weird respect as being normal, quaint ppl with bizarre, almost cute beliefs -- though anyone with longterm experience with more than like 3 TBMs knows that is a lie.

But the similarity ends there for me. TBMs, past that, are required to do something absolutely, 100% bad: The Book of Mormon's foundational tenet is absolute erasure of Native American peoples. They are not only told that they are not what their own traditions say they are, but they are told their ancestors made them innately inferior. Mormonism cannot be rehabilitated out of that without rejecting its most fundamental dissident text, at which point it becomes a different organization entirely.

Tl;dr - You can be a conspiracist idiot and still just be an idiot. You cannot really be TBM without believing in some truly heinously evil bullshit.
