The tin foil hat stuff was how monogamy is a secret plot by the ruling class to keep poor people something something docile and easily controlled so they something something can rule the world.
The mechanics of how that works exactly is left to the fevered imaginations of conspiracy theorists.
The simpler explanation for why we have traditions of monogamy in at least Western culture is not hard to understand. Women want men to help them raise their children and men want to be sure that said children are actually theirs. Women don't want their hubbies running off with another women leaving them alone to raise the kids by themselves and men don't want to discover they aint actually the daddy of one of the kids. Monogamy is a classic trade off then, you agree not to do this and I agree not to do that.
But tin foil hat stuff is a lot more interesting to those who are into that.
