Berlin is morbid. And there's too many drugs around.
I'm trying my best to steer clear. But you're right. Having said that, I don't feel all that different. Same patt time, same patt channel

So now I'm a Jones & Icke sympathiser?

Were Alex Jones and David Icke right all along? Yes.
So now I'm a broken clock?

It feels to me that the root of conspiracy theorising is emotional trauma. A traumatic event such as grief or betrayal at the individual or group/societal level can cause a radical break in trust with authority which leads to a breakdown in belief systems and a reaction of frenzied patternistic (join dots, make life make sense again) and paternalistic (find new daddy/priest) thinking.
Snake oil salesmen and increasingly politicians are ready to exploit the trauma and feed the monster.
Why conspiracy theories? Because, believe it or not, governments do things that they'd rather nobody knew about, and do other things for reasons they won't admit to. For example, putting key-loggers in laptops at the factory.

Trauma is a huge part of the conspiratorial worldview. Trance formation of America by Cathy O' Brian.
This is partly how certain huge public events are understood by them. As deliberately engineered mass traumas to the group psyche. And in the aftermath and shock.... they do things!
I read the vigilant citizen post about kobe bryant yesterday. Not convinced.
