Just read a fascinating article about boredom and its role in the current political/social/media landscape. It does make sense that search for meaning would propel people into this savior dynamic. Unfortunately, we live in one of the safest, if not the most safe, times in human history. People create struggle for the sake of it, and someone needs to be wrong for that to gain traction. Here is the article if I may share.
While these people are indeed lunatics I would avoid describing anyone as a truther as this term is being used to delegitimize any criticism of any establishment narrative. Using this phrase may make the people you are trying to convince see you as an establishment shill and help those trying to silence the actual truth by normalize this language.
