Conspiracy theory is a derogatory term pushed by the CIA to discredit intents to question the status qoa.
Not really. The world is full of stupid conspiracy theories.
Sounds like you’re discrediting our fellow user, u CIA?
Don’t blow my cover
Yeah because its been spooked to be that way. Example take qanon which was just a large scale psyop to push gullible idiots further to the right. Most definitely manufactured (or at least perpetuated) by some state adjacent organization. Not to mention there were no real theories, it was just a bunch of reactionary masturbation.
Many people I talk to today have never even heard of a jfk conspiracy nor the Iran contra affair when they flooded the country with cocaine. Most liberals just disregard those as crazy conspiracy theories even tho Iran contra was proven to have happened.
Flood the media with manufactured conspiracy theories while ignoring the actual conspiracies behind the curtain.
That, on itself, is a conspiracy theory.

Indeed it is. But unlike what passes for conspiracy theories these days, its an actual theory.
In my (likely limited) experience, most conspiracy theories are either harmless to the status* quo, or actively reenforce it. *typo
Exactly my point.
Evolution is a fact, the real argument is actually biogenesis. Did life originate from a soup, or was it all part of a grand design.
The old argument, is that the complexity of life is so great that it isn’t reasonable to believe that it could have happen naturally. Although realistically, there’s no true scientific way to prove it did or didn’t. It’s all theory
I think Occam’s Razor would apply in that case. And the secular theory requires fewer assumptions.
Personally I don’t think so, to me life looks to rigidly structured to be random. Too complex, too many if’s in the way the Earth has to be just right. MAYBE it could be random but design actually seems more likely to me. Then again, though, people shape there world view to better fit around there personal identities. No one is without bias in that.
The problem with this meme, is that the template used to spell it out is purposed to say evolution.
