But at least you wouldn't have to argue about the meaning of that term. You can just outright refuse it and say that the thing that is talked about is in fact a conspiracy hypothesis.
It would make discussion more easy. The term "conspiracy theory" may in fact be ambiguous to some folks. The other terms aren't. Only that almost nobody uses them (or I just don't know, as I'm avoiding most of the main stream media because of the constant bombardment with propaganda BS).
- elcapitan 5y agoThe problem with introduction of terms like "conspiracy myth" from the official/media side is that it's kind of reinforcing the notion that "they" are trying to "hide" it, just this time with language manipulation, so it's pretty much counterproductive, or preaching to the choir. There seems to be an obsession in recent years with cleaning up language in a symbolic way, as if that would actually change reality.
