The left's weaponization of the term 'conspiracy theory'

25th Amendment meeting?

Trump is much more demented than Biden ever was.
 
It's no surprise at all how many theories during the last 20 years described by MSM as 'conspiracy theories' have since turned out to be conspiracy facts.

Parts of the credulous public have now realized they have been duped by numerous "Official Conspiracy Theories", from the Scamdemic to 911 to Ukraine to Zionists.
~~~~~~
Many claims initially labeled as conspiracy theories by mainstream media have later been validated, particularly regarding government surveillance and misinformation. However, it's essential to critically evaluate each claim, as not all conspiracy theories are based on factual evidence.
The operation known as "Fast and Furious," which involved the ATF allowing firearms to be sold to suspected straw buyers for Mexican drug cartels, has been confirmed as a real event, not a conspiracy. However, investigations concluded that it was more a result of incompetence rather than a deliberate attempt to promote gun control.
The claim that the FBI has been weaponized against conservative individuals and groups has gained traction in recent years. This assertion is primarily driven by testimonies from former FBI employees and political figures.
While the debate continues, the narrative that the FBI is weaponized against conservatives is increasingly presented as a fact by some political leaders and former agency employees.
Just how much more evidence is needed to prove you're wrong...

Almost no claims initially labeled as conspiracy theories by mainstream media have later been validated, particularly regarding government surveillance and misinformation.

Almost all (98%) are proven to be conspiracy theories.

Watch Doc be able to not validate numbers at all pertaining to this MAGA disease.
 
To start, their attack is a blatant ad hominem. This fallacy is quite common and is simply defined as attacking your opponent's character traits or characteristics instead of his actual argument.
Secondly, these attacks are all red herrings, meaning they're using select terms to distract from an important topic, claim, or question.
Finally, these arguments are guilty of committing the poisoning the well fallacy, in which select information about the opposition is pre-emptively relayed to the audience in an attempt at ridiculing, mocking, and delegitimizing them.
How...ironic. You totally misunderstand the nature of conspiracy theories and the debunking thereof. This is why I so frequently beg you rubes to take a course in Logic.

For example, let's say you claim the deep state deliberately aims hurricanes at red states. MTG has actually made this claim recently.

Then I come along and label that a conspiracy theory and provide the reasons the conspiracy theory is untrue, that is not an ad hominem.

An ad hominem is along the lines of dismissing a claim by attacking the character of the claimaint rather than the claim itself. If I debunk the actual claim itself, that's not an ad hominem.



When I thoroughly debunk that conspiracy theory by pointing out the red states which get hit by hurricanes are in the southeast which has been hit by hurricanes for millennia, that is not a red herring. I am not distracting from the conspiracy theory. I am destroying it with obvious facts which did not occur to the idiot who hatched the theory or the idiots who parrot it.

When a conspiracy theory is destroyed with facts and logic, that is not poisoning the well.

This is an example of poisoning the well:

The left's weaponization of the term 'conspiracy theory'​

9 Feb 2021 ~~ By Landon Freeman


While conspiracy theories have never really had a positive reputation, the '90s and early '00s were the last period in which they were given any amount of mainstream credence and popularity. In The X-Files, FBI agent Fox Mulder was portrayed as holding questionable beliefs, though he was also shown and implied be a genuine truth-seeker, eager to uncover elusive mysteries and conspiracies that had remained hidden for so long.
Fast-forward to 2000. This was the year that the video game Deus Ex was released. Considered one of the greatest video games of all time, the compelling story treats conspiracy theories as valid and plausible, with the main character's very existence being the result of mysterious, underhanded events orchestrated by dangerous, powerful, and secretive individuals.
Compare that unique, bygone zeitgeist to the one looming over us in 2021, in which the term "conspiracy theory" has been weaponized by the left in a widespread effort to delegitimize and shut down conservatives.
~Snip~
One of the main problems with this newfound rhetoric is that it's a monstrous, fallacious hybrid of biased and unfair reasoning. To put it simply, when conservatives are labeled as "conspiracy theorists" in an attempt to destroy their credibility, those propagating this argumentative nonsense are guilty of using three fallacies.
To start, their attack is a blatant ad hominem. This fallacy is quite common and is simply defined as attacking your opponent's character traits or characteristics instead of his actual argument.
Secondly, these attacks are all red herrings, meaning they're using select terms to distract from an important topic, claim, or question.
Finally, these arguments are guilty of committing the poisoning the well fallacy, in which select information about the opposition is pre-emptively relayed to the audience in an attempt at ridiculing, mocking, and delegitimizing them.

Commentary:
Like Landon Freeman, 'CrazyTrader' makes his point.
"Freedom loving Americans eventually found out that the Covid-19 vaccine "boosters" were a scam as they didn't stop the transmission of Covid. So were the "vaccine cards" that lefty wanted everyone to have to carry around in order to live. Lefty would say, well, they aren't mandatory. But then you dug into the details and found out that their plans were that you couldn't even go to a grocery store without one. It was a "conspiracy theory" until it wasn't."
The truth in "Conspiracy theory" is the facts that have been exposed since.

For sure they do label as 'conspiracy theory' any opinion or news they don't want to hear no matter how plausible or observable or verifiable.

I am reminded of the old quip: just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't really after you.

Likewise, just because a person speculates on or considers something labeled 'conspiracy theory' doesn't mean that there was no conspiracy or that the event/actio/whatever didn't happen.
