It's important to remember the distinction between conspiracy, an act of covert collusion, and conspiracy theory, the free association and riffing upon inconsistencies, real or perceived.

That is a distinction you make to separate yourself from a group of people you dislike. This distinction is however meaningless in the broad view of the public. As I said: speak of these subjects and you will be breaking a taboo, no matter how "proper" or whatever you are about it. Talk about project Northwoods or how Uyghurs extremists were funded by the US in the late 00's or the many many details surrounding the destruction of Nord Stream 2 and you will be labeled a conspiracy theorist. This taboo also exists on hexbear, despite these things not being 'hallucinations', they will get you treated as a reactionairy or doofis. Saying I hallucinate these things is incredibly rude and a good example of what I talk about with taboo.
