It is false to assert that all conspiracy theories are by nature “non-existent” or trigger by “fear”.

When a prosecutor works to make a criminal case, he has to piece together evidence and find a way to tie it all together. Not all prosecutors arrive at the correct conclusion.

“conspiracy” is a charge that several parties coordinate to commit a crime.

I don’t support claims that the shooting was fake or created by government or globalist figures.

But it is erroneous to claim that all “conspiracy theories” are “non-existent” and grounded in “fear”.

It’s as bad as people claiming that as “creationists” (God as Creator of Universe) believe the world is only 6,000 years old. If you believe God exists, you almost certainly believe God is Creator. Otherwise God sat idle while the Big Bang surprised Him, God(s) sprang forth from the Big Bang, or God does not exist. Those are the only 4 possibilities.

From the article;

A conspiracy theory is not simply a conspiracy. Barkun writes that conspiracies are "actual covert plots planned and/or carried out by two or more persons". A conspiracy theory, on the other hand, is "an intellectual construct", a "template imposed upon the world to give the appearance of order to events". Positing that "some small and hidden group" has manipulated events, a conspiracy theory can be local or international, focused on single events or covering multiple incidents and entire countries, regions and periods of history. Conspiracy theorists see themselves as having privileged access to special knowledge or a special mode of thought that separates them from the masses who believe the official account

“Conspiracy theory” is a term created by the CIA and fed to the “Mockingbird media” to throw shade on their nefarious activities.
