[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4664262, member: 63706"] He means that if there were, in fact, a conspiracy, calling it a conspiracy theory doesn't actually change the fact that there is a conspiracy. It's just the latest buzz phrase, which is an ad homin fallacy, among other types of fallacies, to try to dismiss an idea without having to actually think about anything. Calling something a conspiracy theory suggests that the theorist is implying that something unlawful is going on. But in reality, this sort of thing is usually a result of very real psychological phenomena such as group think. People may actually believe they are doing the right thing, or believe that their authority figures actually know what they are talking about, but that's not necessarily the case. As systems become more complex, the chances for anyone being competent at making decisions within that system go down. This is why individual liberty and freedom are the only way to go. People have to be free to make their own decisions, and free to face the [U]natural consequences[/U] of those decisions. I realize most people reading this will not fully grasp all of the concepts I bring up. That's ok. Just understand that an authority figure isn't necessarily correct, I mean, Trump [I]is[/I] president, right? A group of authority figures agreeing on something doesn't make them right. [/QUOTE]
