I believe most troofers can broken down into the following two categories:
Paranoid/Delusional - This kind of troofer is so terrified of reality that they must construct some kind of outlandish counter reality that they find more comforting. Perhaps the fact that deep down inside they know their artificially constructed reality is false is comforting, while at the same time allowing them to ignore the uncomfortable reality that they cannot face. It is essentially the equivalent of reading a comic book and pretending it is the news because the real news is too horrible to comprehend.
Marxist/Propagandist – This kind of troofer knows that their theories are all lies but feel that the lies serve the greater good of “waking up” capitalist society to its supposed “evils.” They are using the classic Marxist/Leninist technique of the “big lie” to try and undermine capitalist society. They know that people will never turn against their comfortable lifestyles willingly so they need to manufacture shadowy conspiracies which will make the average citizen believe that they have somehow been “duped” and are being “oppressed” despite all the evidence to the contrary. This is the type of troofer that publishes most of the troofer propaganda that the paranoid/delusional troofers spout hypnotically.
Obviously there are many varieties of both these types and some people are likely a little bit in each camp, but I believe it is a decent summary of the troofer movement.
