I would argue that a true conspiracy theorist doesn’t just believe that a single event was the result of a single group of people, but that the conspiracy is near omnipotent and responsible for many unrelated terrible things. It’s one thing, for example, to believe that some aspect of the 9/11 story doesn’t hold up — perhaps that you believe the government covered up for Saudi involvement. That may be right or wrong, but it’s at least something that’s plausible. A true conspiracy theorist would believe that the whole thing was made up and never happened, or that the whole thing was planned and executed by the Illuminati, who have been working together for centuries to control the masses through mind control.
