  Fair enough... but then stating that the "Left Wing" has that position would be a generalization. Undoubtedly this type of generalization happens for the "Right Wing" as well, however it would be irrational to form conclusions based on it. I think it is interesting that you mentioned Twitter, because in my opinion that somewhat highlights how conspiracy theories might form and spread.

Because of this, it is dangerous to assume that the people on Twitter accurately represent society. Thus, such assumptions can lead to conspiracy theories.
