Like you said, conspiracies are a big part of history. Any group of people meeting, with a common goal, are conspiring.
Calling someone a "conspiracy theorist" paints them in a negative light though.
Better terms would be more like: "Awareness advocate", "Covert operations researcher", "Open source intelligence agent"
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoI like "political awareness advocate". The second one is a little too specific, and OSINT agent makes you sound like a fed.
- ChrisAntaki 13y agoThe arena of thought is typically shrunk when people fear negative judgment. Using more positive terms like this would promote healthy discourse. It would also open up a cleaner way to discuss paranoia, specifically. Some ideas could be singled out as paranoid, while acknowledging the value in others.
