That's dangerously wrong. Yes, if you have some rational reason to believe that a conspiracy is the best explanation for a particular thing, even if others don't see it, then go nuts. That's healthy and good IMO. Even laudable. However, "conspiracy theorist" as an ongoing identity or habit is not healthy either for your own reputation or for the well being of those affected by unfounded accusations. Occam's Razor is not burying one's head in the sand.
- jakear 4y agoSure, don't jump to "the government is conspiring against us" at first pass, but also don't dismiss otherwise reasonable arguments on the grounds "there's no way the government isn't acting as a force of Platonic Good, what are you some sort of conspiracy theorist?"
