The way these fucking rubes throw around the term “conspiracy theorist” is so fucking infuriating. I understand that the term was literally developed by the CIA for the express purpose it’s serving when it comes out of the mouth of someone like this but it’s still such an absolutely bonkers thing to go throwing around like it actually means something. I mean how many fucking conspiracies does the U.S. have to admit to covering up before these assholes consider it’s not some fringe worldview that delegitimizes anyone you can tag with being a “conspiracy theorists”. I always think about the 53’ Iranian coup and how many fucking people from the U.S. and Iran KNEW that shit was CIA and were happy to share that view. Im sure any one of them with enough of a platform to draw any attention were immediately labeled as conspiracy theorists. Think about how many smug dipshits like this guy were there to “well ackshually” the people who had the guts to recognize MOTIVE and follow that towards the truth. They just don’t understand if you can de emphasize the truth for long enough then it doesn’t matter how explosive it is when it comes back into focus 50-60 years later. It’s the same playbook every time and these fucking assholes will never fucking assholes will never learn.
