What is the psychology behind acceptance and validity?

How does one come to the conclusion “I know how to tell how valid something is”. Where does that arrogance come from? Our most popular sources of information are all owned by the biggest criminals. Our Governments are basically legitimate organized crime. The Religions of the world have only lied about everything.

I am a “conspiracy theorist” and my views have been deemed invalid because my sources aren’t of the established order. My authors don’t get the coverage “acceptable” authors get. My suspicious nature of evaluating history and current events has been called immoral just because of the lack of trust in authority. What is the purpose of trusting authority anyway?
