The actual reason that powerful people and institutions can engage in the abuse of children without consequence is that they are insulated by hierarchies of money, influence, and power, the existence of which right-wingers defend as a matter of principle. This is why the most notable locus of institutionalized child sex abuse - the church - plays only an ancillary role in the right-wing’s conspiracism. To actually tackle the issue would involve dismantling the social, political, and economic power structures that undergird it, which the right has no interest in doing. Conspiracy theories are rarely about the things they claim to be about. They are, instead, a mode of self-affirmation; reassurance that you are privy to secret knowledge and that there is a hidden order behind the complexity of modern life. The point of this particular conspiracy theory isn’t that there’s a powerful cabal of murderous pedophiles that must be stopped. The point of the theory is to justify the pre-existing worldview of the people who believe it: that their enemies are irredeemably evil and that they are unequivocally good.
