It would be a red flag for me because such people are delusional and I would have no respect for them. I can't imagine why there would be a link between believing in conspiracies and family violence and I've never come across it, but who knows?
Yeah, it was really weird, and the therapist that leads the support group said she had never noticed anything like that, it was odd that four out of five of us had those type of exes.
I guess the only thing I can think is that if someone is really über into conspiracy theories that person would probably be quite paranoid. I'm thinking a paranoid narcissist isn't a good thing at all. Also a person who really believes that stuff too much gets an inflated ego thinking that he/she knows what's going on better than everyone else.
I hate how people wear a mask, and are on their best behavior to you, me or whomever, then eventually their mask starts to crack open. I was in love with the mask that I thought was one person, but turned out to be an entirely different person. Narcissists will also mirror a person, and copy the person or try to present themselves as the type of person one would want.
Yup, according to a well written BBC article, "there's a smorgasbord of explanations for why some people are more drawn to conspiracies than others". Two of the top reasons are narcissism, as well as people who take comfort thinking that powerful people are behind random events. Read this.

Other more scholarly articles are also available. Just google "conspiracy theories and narcissism".
When will the human species go extinct?
