The conspiracy wasn't designed to trick the critical thinker.
It was engineered to give the moral coward a way out.

TPTB are counting on mass cowardice. Cowardice enforced by self-doubt, and popular ridicule of those who dare to question the "official story". Most people will choose the "path of least resistance" as defined by this triad of social forces, every time...Hegelian Dialectic is designed to use this fact to create "solutions" which TPTB want, by creating conflicts which lead the 'participants' to the inevitable choice.
Look at the spate of "reality TV" shows and other programs over the last decade, all of which are centered around situational ethics (like "24") where you know what the characters are going to do, and agree with them even though you know that it isn't really the right choice - this is all meant to reinforce the concept that "what is right" is situational, instead of being anchored in absolutes...
Those who refuse to engage in Hegelian Dialectic will always exist, but will always be a small minority, and thus TPTB have other means for dealing with us - coopting us with patriotism, adventurism, escapism; locking us up as mentally ill, or as "radicals and criminals", or simply discrediting people through sustained smear campaigns...
They know they will never silence the voice of rational and informed thought; but they know that it doesn't take too much work to minimize it's volume, and nullify it's effect.
Regardless of you outlook or intellect, yeah, they've got a plan for you.
