It could be ADHD, OP. What you describe is inattention and a lack of executive functioning skills (the ability to schedule, plan and get organized). If he spends his time on dubious websites as a distraction, his views may be skewed. People who frequently makes mistakes and do not feel in control of their life because of that often get defensive and angry with the years.

My husband is like this. He has ADHD he refuses to treat, and we suspect he may have some high-functioning form for Asperger's. He has a high IQ, and he doesn't believe in conspiracy theories exactly, but he sometimes over-reacts about things and has mentally rigid thinking that gives him a very black and white view of the world - which leads to irrationality and some extreme views, since the world is not black and white.

I don't know what to suggest, OP. I push back against weird concepts when I have the energy, but sometimes I just roll my eyes and focus on my own life. He is not a reliable partner and it's been hard, these last few years.
