The fraction of people who believe in conspiracy theories varys significantly from nation to nation. Northern Europeans are extremely close minded when it comes to conspiracys, while southern Europeans are much more open minded.

Northern Europeans just believe in different conspiracies. What percentage of Northern Europeans believe that the oil industry is actively engaged in a CONSPIRACY to repress novel forms of energy production and propagation of ideas related to climate change? 70 percent? 80?

Northern Europeans believe in all types of utterly retarded conspiracy theories that make Flat Earth seem plausible like 'White Privilege Theory' and various other nonsense. They're no more or less given to conspiracy ideation than anyone else and I'd wager they give the Turks a run for their money in that regard.

'White Privilege Theory'

That's an Anglo thing. The vast majority of the people in Nordic countries don't believe that.

That's totally wrong -- critical race theory which includes ideas that Europeans are consciously or unconsciouly engaged in a conspiracy to dominate society and hold back minorities is widely taught and accepted in Scandinavia and much of northern Europe -- but you can just replace that conspiracy with any other. How about the conspiracy that men have been and continue to be part of a conspiracy to hold down women and advance themselves at the other sexes expense? How many Northern European women believe in that conspiracy theory? Definitely over 50 percent.

My point is that Northern Europeans believe in conspiracy theories as much as any other population they just, as of now, believe in the popular ones.

You need to read my comment again. I wasn't talking about what's being taught and accepted by the establishment.

But that's what I'm talking about. What's being taught and accepted by the establishment are the most elaborate and insane conspiracy theories ever pushed on mankind. That's my whole point.

The Germans have their own variant of 'white guilt.' Thats more related to WW2 and Nazism, though.

Sure, but even most Germans don't think they should give up their entire country because of that.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if coal and natural gas had a hand in advocating denuclearization of the European power grid

Oh no doubt and just to be clear I'm not even really dismissing the idea that the whole fossil fuel conspiracy is true I was just trying to make the general point that every group believes in conspiracies and it's more that the sanctioned conspiracies don't get called that despite being essentially conspiratorial in nature.

So even fewer Europeans believe in the Holocaust in the north?
