re: "Conspiracy theorist" is the new "racist" prove me wrong

Definition of conspiracy theory.

quote:

---

a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event.

What does this have to do with racism?

quote:

---

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

I understand that neither one of these accusations should be given lightly. And I find that one of the things hurting political discourse is that words are being planted by either side that inaccurately describes something.

For example, saying someone didn't achieve something due to bad grades or poor performance isn't racist. The question everyone needs to ask is this: is the result objectively valid given the current evidence AND was the process of reaching said result done in an equally objective way.

I can elaborate further if you wish.

I know exactly who you are referring to regarding conspiracy theories (MTG). QAnon is a conspiracy theory by definition.
