I am still being labelled as a conspiracy theory nutcase whenever I talk about this subject to people.

  Then, if you explain that there is reason to believe the term conspiracy theories was created and popularized specifically to indoctrinate them into responding exactly the way they are responding (like programmable robots).. then they just call ``conspiracyTheories(yourTheory)`` again to "validate" it and you lose 20% of your remaining credibility. I just go with a bit of ridicule. Something like: It is not that sophisticated, educated, wealthy and influential people in power could get together and have some kind of plan. If they did it couldn't possibly escape your attention but if it did it wouldn't be interesting enough for you to talk about. Or maybe it isn't that. Maybe the quality of government depends entirely on the citizens? If you think drag net spying is a good idea is a yes/no question. If you don't care means yes which in turn means they should be doing it. Same goes for enriching themselves at your expense. I mean if you approve of it?? Or is not caring and approving not the same thing?
