I have not heard an effective way to address the empirical fact that lies are easier to make than truth. It is quite easy to make up a conspiracy, as ill-defined as that term is, and spread it. It is much harder to craft an argument against conspiracies, since it requires adherence to the truth. It is easier to create chaos than order. Then there is the additional factor that onlookers might just see it as baseless arguing---whom do you trust unless you do careful fact-checking (but which repository of "facts" can you trust?). Somewhat related is that "common sense" thinking is often flat out wrong. Sometimes, truth is counter intuitive. Humans will always fall prey to grifts. And the problem of conspiracies in our age seem to be grifting at scale.
