there’s a conspiracy theory that the term “conspiracy theory” was intentionally manipulated in the cultural lexicon to include both realistically plausible things and pseudoscientific nonsense. this creates an equivalence in perception between people who say “the FBI killed MLK” and people who say “aliens abducted me and took me to the other side of the flat earth where I met Bigfoot,” so that any accusation against the government is immediately dismissed

Apparently owner of /pol/ on 4chan the day after meeting with Epstein. They called it a “great means of manipulation” IIRC. So I think there may be some truth to this. The whole Pizzagate thing may have been a way to make it seem like anyone who thinks the ultra-wealthy are child predators seem crazy
