This always comes up any time someone uses the term "conspiracy theory," as if we don't all understand what is meant by the term. It's just disingenuous to pretend like we don't all know what sorts of conspiracy theories henriquez is referring to. Even if you genuinely believe in some of them, you still know what the comment is referring to.
- pksebben 4y agoBecause it's not a useful term. It's a piece of political jargon used to dismiss an idea as crackpot. It's meaning isn't specific and will change depending on who's using it and in what context. I'll weekend my understanding, if I hear a definition of conspiracy theory that doesn't contain an ad hominem assessment.
