The labelling of research as Conspiracy theory is yet another - TopicsExpress



          

The labelling of research as Conspiracy theory is yet another example of this at work - conspiracy theorist is almost universally used in a dismissive, mistrustful manner to belittle people, many of whom are asking pertinent, meaningful, NECESSARY questions. A child looking critically at the Santa Claus issue is a conspiracy theorist - an individual who is investigating a theory that two or more people are conspiring against her to conceal the truth...ORIGIN late Middle English: from Old French conspirer, from Latin conspirare ‘agree, plot,’ from con- ‘together with’ + spirare ‘breathe.’
