Haven't watched Dr. Strangelove but yeah, fatal conspiracy theories seem to be what's happening. The problem now is that people believing these conspiracy theories can get into power to force them onto the wider population. (I'm wondering if this could eventually give rise to counter-conspiracy theories, e.g. the government hiding flouridated water and vaccines from us.)

Short summary of the relevant thing (not really a spoiler since the whole plot gets more or less explained immediately) a general in charge of nuclear weapons gets the idea that fluorinated water is a communist conspiracy to turn people to their side and things go downhill from there.

Strong recommend to do so, for whatever that's worth from some dude on the internet.
