(10,764 posts)... and there's nothing "right wing" about thinking that "conspiracy theorists" and their pathological epistemology are just as much of a blight on the intellectual landscape as ghost hunters. That's because "conspiracy theorist" has come to mean someone who starts by assuming a conspiracy, and then "concludes" that means all the evidence that says otherwise must have been faked and all the "real" evidence that would prove them right must have been covered up. That kind of "reasoning" leads to nothing but spiraling delusions like the "magic bullet" nonsense.
It really is this simple: After 50 years, nothing that conspiracy theorists claim that appears to be true proves a conspiracy, and nothing they claim that would be conclusive of a conspiracy appears to be true. Get over yourself.
