CONSPIRACY
How do I disarm the weaponized usage of the term conspiracy?
-
"Oh, that's just a conspiracy"
-
YOU ASK - "What is a conspiracy?" "What does that term mean to you?"
-
They respond - "…?" Puzzled look on face.
-
You ask - "Do you believe that GOOD people around the world come TOGETHER to do GOOD things?" (Conspire to do good deeds).
-
They respond - "OF COURSE!!!!!111"
-
You ask - "Do you believe that BAD people around the world can sometimes come TOGETHER to do BAD things?" (Conspire to do bad deeds).
-
They respond - "Oh yeah…that can definitely happen now that I think about it" (Phoebus Cartel)
-
You say - "You are now a conspiracy theorist, and everything you say that I don't agree with can now be discredited."
-
Realization spreads across their face.
