* ''Fanfic/ACaseStudyInTheSturdinessOfTheRookie9'': During the Chuunin Exams, Team 7 betrays [[spoiler:Team 10]], claiming that they should have been ''anticipating'' such a move because the Exams are NotAGame and need to be taken seriously. Shino and Sakura then insist that their victims are being 'overdramatic' when they [[WhatTheHellHero call them out]], and that they were just "minorly inconvenienced". Because betraying and ditching their allies in a place called the ''Forest of Death'', surrounded by teams from rival villages, isn't ''that'' big a deal, even while they're simultaneously declaring that they need to take the dangers posed by the Exams seriously.
* ''[[Fanfic/WhatGoesAroundComesAroundMiraculousLadybug Truth & Journalism]]'': After the fall of Hawkmoth, [[ConspiracyTheorist Jalil]] falls into a rabbit hole where he convinces himself that Ladybug was secretly EvilAllAlong, while Hawkmoth intended to use the Miraculouses to create a utopia. One of the cornerstones of his argument? That Chat Noir was revealed to be Hawkmoth's ''son'', and must have been working with his father all along -- proof that both he and Ladybug were evil, despite how Jalil ''also'' insists that Hawkmoth was actually good.

* One somewhat amusing aspect of "thought" among certain brands of racists is the belief that people from a group they despise are intellectually inferior to those of the racist's group, while at the same time the members of the despised group have set up an elaborate, highly sophisticated worldwide secret conspiracy that controls everything. In a similar vein, Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists tend to push two (of many) separate ideas: that the "white race" is genetically superior to all others, and that it's somehow on the verge of collapse due to interracial couples having children, despite its previously-established "superiority". They will cite evolutionary biology [[TheSocialDarwinist to support their supposed superiority]], while also claiming the "lower" races are outbreeding their own, which is especially funny as per actual evolution organisms that reproduce more are fitter. Yet of course, they would never admit "lower" races' superiority in this.

** Even Bokononisms status as illegal on the island is part of this trope because everybody knows that everybody is a Bokononist. The illegality is by design; it creates drama and conflict that help distract from how desperately (and hopelessly) poor and squalid the place is. The people all get to have exciting rebellious lives, "secretly" thumbing their nose at authority, instead of having nothing to do but lament how empty their bellies are.

* Discussed in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' episode "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E6HuntingPalismen Hunting Palismen]]". Protagonist Luz Noceda has two goals: become a witch in the Boiling Isles, and get home to her mother on Earth. Trouble is, the former is just vague enough that it's not worthy of a palisman, since a palisman requires its user to have a specific life goal they want to achieve; "become a witch" and "go home" aren't enough. Besides that, an ArmorPiercingQuestion from Boscha makes Luz realize that these two desires are mutually exclusive. If Luz goes home to Earth, she'll be back with her mother but unable to use magic, because magic doesn't work in the human world. If Luz stays on the Boiling Isles, she'll probably become a witch but will never see her mother again. This causes Luz to realize that [[AndThenWhat she hasn't really thought through her plans very well]].

** A ''lot'' of [[CloudCuckooLander Dale Gribble's]] UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheories run on these. For the most part, Dale simultaneously thinks of "the government" as an all-powerful entity that can do whatever it wants without repercussion, while also believing that every government figure of any kind of authority whatsoever is an incompetent moron. The irony of this doublethink on Dale's part is that there's an actual conspiracy going on nearby -- his wife Nancy has been cheating on him with John Redcorn for years, and Dale has never noticed. This has been used to show both that Dale isn't all really there mentally and that his thought process is [[IRejectYourReality so far gone that he just invents his own reality]] where he's always right.
