Conspiracies happen, every casus belli the US has used in the last 70 years has been the result of a conspiracy. Experimenting on the people of the Bikini Atoll was a conspiracy. The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment was a conspiracy. COINTELPRO was a conspiracy.
Acting like it's either a conspiracy or the result of systems is a false dichotomy.
When someone mentions the term "conspiracy," I ask if they mean lizardmen mind controlling us from inside a hollow earth or stuff the CIA has flat-out admitted.
I consider the term "conspiracy theory" so ideologically charged that it's basically useless. As far as I can tell, most people's definition of "conspiracy theory" is "a thing that some people believe that I think is weird" instead of "theory about people coming together to do something nefarious for personal gain."
