Conspiracy theory has become yet another 'the devil did it'. A human being need the devil as a scapegoat for his own shortcomings. A human being is too proud to admit that he is the one causing troubles. Also, he can't see an 'angel'  without seeing a 'demon'. A human is not that comfortable with the idea that problems are happening but there is no one planning them. This denies him, among other things, the oppotunity for him to say: 'as for me, I belong to the light'. So eventualy he created 'demons' from amongst his own fellow humans. A human needs a devil that he thinks he can overpower at some point.

Unfortunately, though, the devil creators ended up abusing a once fairly good concept: 'conspiracy theory'.  By saying 'everything is a conspiracy' it gave some people the justification they need to say 'nothing is a conspiracy'. The media, leaders etc wants now to insinuate that a conspiracy can never happen  at all. The pendulum that was swang to the extreme end gave them opportunity to release it hopelessly all the way to the other extreme end. Now they try to make you look silly by simply believing that a conspiracy theory might be true, after all. But conspiracy does happen. The CIA, for instance does proven, shocking conspiracies, from plotting to overthrow democracies to creating mind numbing false flags, including bombing the very America itself! We cannot aford to spoil the word 'conspiracy'.

Nowadays the mainstream wants to use the lazy, cheap short-cut of bashing some idea by calling it 'conspiracy theory'. Infact, they do it even when the theory is not suggesting that any conspiracy is taking place at all, it is just challenging the mainstream. Thus electric universe theory is 'a conspiracy theory'. But electric universe theorists are not claiming that scientists are conspiring to hide the true facts about the universe. They are saying that the maistream scientists are simply incompetent in cosmic, plasma phenomenon. 

Conspiracy theory indead can be very silly! To the conspiracy theorist, there is an allmost omnipotent, omniscient devil of cabal who must succeed in everything they plan. We are told that 'every war is planned'  etc. Thus America, for instance, planned ISIS all the way back in 2002 when they invaded Iraq! To the conspiracy theorists, the end results only reveals the original plan! Thus we know that the  cabal was planning to create sectarian division in Iraq, just because that is what happened!  This is silly! They could not have planned what would empower Iran beyond their capacity to subdue.This gives the mainstream a cheap way of bashing every idea that there was a conspiracy in iraq war. By only saying 'that is a conspiracy theory' he aims to bring to mind all the silly theories. He lumps together all manner of ideas into one basket and assigns them the same characteristics written on the surface of the basket. 

Human being is lazy. So he shuns analysis of individual concepts. He likes grouping several of them and then gives it one characteristic. This drasticaly reduces the number of characteristics to close examine. Human want to simply read the can that someone else has written on it. He doesn't want to open the can and check the stuff inside. He just want to read 'this is salt', 'this is sugar', this is coffee' etc. Then he cooks. Nothing tires more than having to open the can and check to see that 'this is 80% salt, 10% sugar, 5%coffee, 3% iodine'. Some people have unwittingly noticed this human weakness. So they sell to us ideas in lumps that 'they themselves can open'. The 'this is conspiracy theory' is the exellent example. Shockingly, the maistream guy sees no need to talk directly pertaining  to truthfullness of a claim. When debunking a claim, we expect to see logical arguments like 'US could not have, at least intentionaly, created ISIS because it hopelessly complicats their, and Israel's fight with Iran'. Rather the 'this is a conspiracy' is thrown in as though it is 100% enough to make his poin't. Somebody is saying that this powder can kill an insect, but another objector replies by saying 'this is salt'. The unwitting insinuation is that 'we have proven all conspiracy theories are false'. So we don't  need to exermine this particular claim on its own and in details. All we need is to gloss over for earmarks of 'conspiracy theory'. We need to check words like 'globalists', 'elites', 'cabal' etc. Then we drag the whole theory into the 'conspiracy theory' folder! But as you may see, we can debunk a claim without even having to mension 'conspiracy theory'. It is the truthfulness of the claim that we are interested with, not the category it may belong. It is only those who targets morons who use such concepts as 'conspiracy theory', 'socialism', 'science', 'religion', 'pseudoscience' etc as a way of debunking a claim.

Conspiracy theories can be silly because they insinuate that the whole world id governable by a few people in Washington. Thus coronavirus is something planned for the whole world. Perharps there is a reason why some leader in Washington may be forced to follow the lead. But why should someone in Iran follow the dictstes of a cabal in Washington yet we known Iran often defy and win against US! We see US is unable to beat the so called 'terrorists' even in Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc. It is very clear that US does not control the world. So what cabal can have possibly conquer the whole world? How did he do it? How does cabal able to enforce their plans without there being a single global government? If alshabaab cannot take orders from US, but resist and fight it with remarkable success, why would all leaders around the world bow to an armsless, invisible cabal somewhere in Washington? Why doesn't the leadership in cabal break down due to internal politics? But this does not mean that conspiracies cannot happen. It means that conspiracies can only be localy successful. The conspiracy to creat a nuclear bomb succeded because it only needed a control of some few leaders in Washington. However, a conspiracy that needs to control all leaders around the world is impossible. So things like corinavirus better not be thought to be conspiracies.

Cronspiracy theories ended up being about pointing fingures and defaming politicians. This diluted conspiracy theories till it is possible to simply lump them together as nonsense! It now became the usual political BS. If you don't like this candidate, then 'he is a cabal'. If you don't like this policy, then 'it is a conspiracy by the cabal'. Thus all manner of policies by the other party are lumped together as 'conspiracy by cabal'. Even good ones are 'conspiracy theories'. NGOs, immigration policies, international cooperation, fight of racism, concern of refugees, socialism etc all became 'conspiracies' just because they are policies of 'the other party'. Conspiracy theory earned a bad name. This helped the cabal to wade off any criticism as 'conspiracy theory' and he takes the beer.
