"I love it when people try to dismiss me or anybody as a Conspiracy Theorist, actually it's a tremendous compliment, because what they're actually saying is: We haven't done the research, we don't know, and actually it's much more comfortable for us not to know, so please don't tell us." Ian Crane

So if it is a conspiracy theory it is always correct?

100 years ago there were probably only a handful of genuine conspiracies, Railroad cartels, banking and oil cartels, that sort of thing. Today there are thousands and thousands that the average person has to work through, from the price manipulation and shrink-flation at the supermarket(s), to the covid virus lies, to the unemployment statistics generated for public consumption. There are so many in fact that if you think you are being had, you might as well consider it a conspiracy because that puts you in a position to question the thing and find a better outcome for yourself if you can.

Conspiracy: An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

Most conspiracies are simply wrongful acts I would assume, many illegal, and quite a few probably subversive. I think the stealing of a nations wealth through stock price manipulation fits the latter category.

There are more conspiracy theories because there is an Internet. Not because there are exponentially more conspiracies.

So you must have gone to public school.
