More like a combination of things than any one single moment. Basically it comes down to finding the willingness to do
full and
proper research on topics, not just letting yourself stay constantly spiralling in the same echo chambers for weeks, months, years on end...
In my case, thankfully there were folks who I trusted who urged me to do said proper research, and pointed me to websites that offered perspectives and evidence which ran contrary to the ones that I had clung to so fervently for years. It was a long, difficult, humbling process but, bit by bit, I eventually came to the realization that most of these conspiracy theories are cleverly marketed cons.
