This is a really old conspiracy theory. Its easier to believe in a hyper competent conspiracy headed by people you don't like (read: Jewish) than it is to believe that the world is sometimes random and often cruel. Plus, you get to feel smart and cool when you realize something the sheeple didnt realize! What a badass you are!

And thats before nazis and grifters who no other talents make use of this process (enabled by a fuckton of capital, provided by those who will literally burn down the world and half of the people in it to keep their privileges) to hollow out the center.
