"Corruption denialism", motivated by zero-conspiracy theories, has caused unchecked injustice to continue for decades, allowing maximum corruption, zero accountability, and never-ending wars.
"Suspicion denialism" is often associated with zero-conspiratorial thinking; such conspiratorial thinking has been linked by some sociologists to impeded critical thinking, lack of action, and a sense of false rationality, somewhat mimicking traits associated with denialism and optimism bias.
Zero-conspiracy theorists are often linked to prejudice, where they attribute their own characteristics to others, tagging them with terms such as "classical conspiracy theorists" or "traditional conspiracy thinkers", due to their rejection of "Zero Malicious Intent" conspiracy theory, favored by zero-conspiracy believers; this is often linked to self-important framing, where the conspiracy theorist is placed one step above a previous thought, often linked to narcissistic traits.
Some psychologists identify a zero-conspiracist defense mechanism called "Dual Thinking Retreat", where the conspiracist rejects the nature of their beliefs, and instead identifies an unrelated binary, in order to place itself in the middle to gain external reputational praise and internal self-assurance due to perceived association with moderateness, neutrality and rationalism.
Some zero theorists, when confronted, may deny both malicious intent and non-malicious intent, reinforcing an optimistic binary and then placing themselves in the middle "Healthy dose of trust in the accidental government", sometimes compressed in terms such as "Healthy/Reasonable Trust", ironically, practicing the rationalization self-assurance on the spot, without realizing it. This is done despite the overwhelming evidence in real world; as such, zero-conspiracy theories are often associated with hypocrisy due to their rejection of labels (such as the "zero-conspiracy" label itself), while simultaneously labeling others themselves. Zero-conspiracy theorists may find the term uncomfortable due to its previous use, ironically, looking for a more optimistic, accidental and zero-intent label to identify with.
