    Conspiracy theory is a derogatory term pushed by the CIA to discredit intents to question the status qoa.

        Yeah because its been spooked to be that way. Example take qanon which was just a large scale psyop to push gullible idiots further to the right. Most definitely manufactured (or at least perpetuated) by some state adjacent organization. Not to mention there were no real theories, it was just a bunch of reactionary masturbation.

        Many people I talk to today have never even heard of a jfk conspiracy nor the Iran contra affair when they flooded the country with cocaine. Most liberals just disregard those as crazy conspiracy theories even tho Iran contra was proven to have happened.

        Flood the media with manufactured conspiracy theories while ignoring the actual conspiracies behind the curtain.

        Indeed it is. But unlike what passes for conspiracy theories these days, its an actual theory.

      In my (likely limited) experience, most conspiracy theories are either harmless to the status* quo, or actively reenforce it. *typo
