Are conspiracy theories a mean to eliminate poor people?

Hear me out: what if conspiracy theories and the whole fake news factory was part of a bigger plan?

Statistically speaking people who believe in conspiracy theories are - to my knowledge at least - the less educated and wealthy. They refuge into a parallel universe, they believe to be victims of a system that is trying to take away their privileges, their rights, their lives, those of their loved ones.

Some of these theories, like the ones that believe that climate change and covid are hoaxes or the antivax movement, are even dangerous for those who believe them. As a result, we have the wealthiest, most educated ones who don't believe in conspiracy theories, and everyone else who does.

Now let's imagine a future world where this contrast is more accentuated: it's 2110; those who are smart enough to go to college (smart - not rich: in places like Europe you do not necessarily need a life-long debt to go to university) turn into functional members of society, while everyone else sticks to being convinced that high speed internet connections will give them cancer and life-saving medical prevention treatments will kill them.

Slowly - but not too much so - these individuals start to suffer the consequences of their beliefs. Society reduces that portion of population that needs more assistance, fiscal pressure on the ultra-rich is alleviated and everyone is happy.

Now, could these conspiracy theories and those who spread them be the tool what helps to reach this goal, planted by those very people who would benefit the most from other people believing in them?
