You are absolute correct about the Great Replacement theory and other racist conspiracy theories; those are complete bullshit. It makes no sense for the most powerful white people on earth to conspire to destroy white people.
I should have been more careful and specific in the claims I thought were valid.
I was mainly thinking of the CT that "global elites" are conspiring to further solidify their control over the world's resources. That I don't believe is a necessarily crazy theory. However, the analysis and explanation of the theory tends to be crazy as hell and nonsensical.
I would say that ironically a lot of CT's tend to shy away from just how bad things are, they tend to blame the worlds problems on small groups of evil dooers of supernatural power and competence. The truth I would say really is that actually your dealing with a more generalised greedy immorality spread much wider across the top of the establishment, its not nearly as competant as CT's imagine but it doesnt need to be as it has so much power it can afford to mess up a lot and still get what it wants.
The truth for me is that the authoritarian left pretty much does not exist in the western world today, you have a small number of tanky political groups but there following is equally tiny. The reality for me is that its actually the centralist/capitalist liberals who are far more authoritarian lagging only just behind the right.
People like Sanders and Corbyn these arent Stalinists, both were strongly in favour of greater democracy fighting against things like lobbying and coincidently never were very keen on supporting vax mandates even if they were very pro vax.
