It seems like any idea can be discredited by calling it a conspiracy theory. It’s become a popular myth that there are no conspiracies. Not every conspiracy is real, nor are they all false. Discerning the difference is not always easy but it is necessary, so long as we claim to be creatures capable of reason.
ITS ALL A CONSPIRACY:UNTIL ITS NOT!!
.... so long as we claim to be creatures capable of reason.

Certain members of close family I thought I knew & who I thought were capable of reason 2 years ago, have turned into people I don’t know at all. Very hurtful things have been said, including having “conspiracy theorist” thrown in my face. I do believe a glimmer of truth is beginning to shine through the darkness; however, no way anyone is going to admit they are wrong, but the reaction instead is to be very angry with me because I did not get jabbed (one of very few in the family). It’s twisted - I keep my mouth shut to keep the family from being torn apart. Now cancer has been diagnosed in one of the jabbed ... I have my suspicions, but again, not saying anything. As Heather says “Put the “no I won’t” people in your life aside for the moment. Their choices are their own.” I consider that good advice.
I posted another article yesterday and I think there is a lot of truth in it:

Prevents the vaccinated from seeing the light as it is just too painful

Conspiracy theorizing is simply a derogatory term for critical thinking.
Some are better at critical thinking than others. For example, I see crop circles and think bored math students. The guy on the History channel thinks space aliens.
The left has pushed conspiracy theories for decades. They still do.
