@posrev conspiracy theorists.
@freemo I think conspiracy theorist is over used. It’s either true or false or has’nt been proven yet. A theory
@posrev yea i dont mean it in the literal sense. I mean wackadoos, flat earthers, people who think covid has never been isolated and viruses arent real, the obvious crazies.
@freemo I agree. That would be delusional
@twotwenty
The words used here arent too important to me. But i want to point out that while there are many conspiracy theories that have the potential of being true and are reasonable hypothesis the one important quality is that, by virtue of being a hypothesis, is not rooted in evidence and is pure speculation. That alone, even in the more reasonable cases, makes it quite damning when they are asserted as if they are a known fact.
