Conspiracy theories exist for a reason.
The idiots are those who label everything a conspiracy theory and then dismiss it all.
Every claim should be researched independently on its own merit.
Hillsborough was a conspiracy theory, by your rationale, those who faught for the truth for 25 years are idiots? Yet the British prime minister stood in parliament and apologised for it.
So, for 25 years the victims families are idiots and then it's no longer a conspiracy theory and they are no longer idiots for saying the same thing.
Also, you accept a TV news story as the truth (which it may be) with no other info to support that claim as though news outlets wouldn't lie. Naive. Again, the media were complicit in covering up Hillsborough.
And in case that is too English a reference...there is no physical way JFK gets shot by LHO.
Think Watergate also, if those reporters hadn't have been able to prove the truth, would that have changed what the truth was?
It would have remained a conspiracy theory.
Finally, the definition of a conspiracy is two or more people acting in secrecy to bring about a pre determined outcome. So, anyone believing that two or more people may do this is an idiot?
Easy to label, insult and dismiss... doesn't make it any more or less true.
It appears more a case of cognitive dissonance than anything else
