Yes, I think the nutcases -- Alex Jones and QAnon types -- are very useful to those who want us to believe the lies of the government. (Though this is entirely unintentional on Alex Jones's part.)
It's really not the same to say that 1) Sandy Hook was a hoax and that 2) the US blew up the Nordstream pipeline. Each case has to be examined on its merits, and the former fails while the latter stays far more believable. But as you say, there are many who want us to lump them together.
This happens even when events which were loudly declared to be hoaxes and disinformation are quietly, later on, proved to be true. Hunter Biden's laptop was real, and his dad lied about it to millions -- this has been proven, but very few people seem to care. It's still "conspiracy."

This seems quite sure. They never let a tragedy go to waste.
Whatever war or attack or hurricane happens, the legislative reaction is the same: more surveillance, more control, more money for the same well-connected corporations.
