Hi,
Does anyone else feel like the "conspiracy theorist" / "conspiracy theory" insult/attack has lost it's power and fallen out of use lately?
Maybe since Epstein's 'death' or so.
It seems like we [as a whole] are becoming more woke and won't accept that anymore. Things that would've been labeled conspiracy theorizing are now instead being acknowledged…
Looking at Google Trends, it seems people are actually searching the term more than ever in the last 5 years. Started spiking after March 7 - not sure what trigger was.
Does anyone else feel the phrase "conspiracy theory" has lost its prior gravitas in the overton window?
