Oh for sure. Occam's Razor, "the answer which makes the least number of assumptions is usually the correct one." (may have fucked up the quote, but that's the basic idea).

But it's one thing to believe something is true after pouring into the details, and quite another to assume it must be true just because people you don't like label it a word with a negative connotation, lol.

I'm not against believing in conspiracies. they happen all the time. it's human nature to conspire with others towards mutual benefit. The double-edge sword is that you can get discredited if you push something that turns out to be false, even if you're right ninety-nine percent of the time.

One of the reasons the right has been so effective in messaging lately is because the left has pushed crazy shit for years and it all turned out to be bullshit, so we have to be vigilant in making sure what we say is accurate, else we may fall into the same trap due to complacency and/or overconfidence...
