If you put everything under one name, it helps ridiculing the plausible theories by injecting stupid ones.

- raverbashing 13y agoYes The matter discussed has nothing to do with the other , more common, theories.
- javert 13y agoYep. Ayn Rand called this "package dealing," though she wasn't thinkimng about conspiracy theories in particular. For instance, "selfish." Is that pursuing rational long-term values, or is that victimizing others in a futile attempt at short-term gain? Catholic priests lumped them together intentionally since the middle ages, and so it continues throughout our culture today to help justify various kinds of collectivism. Today people are doing it with "conspiracy theories" to try to prevent challenges to their worldview. But the fact is, sometimes, conspiracies actually do happen!
