@bjosch4365 He doesn't deny the deep state, doesn't defend wars (is actively anti war) and isn't a fan of intelligence agencies. He even admits that some conspiracies turn out to be true. The only conspiracies he goes after are ones that are obviously not true. Sandy Hook wasn't a hoax. The 2020 election wasn't stolen, etc.

@bjosch4365 it's already a conspiracy... Just a bullshit one. Since when is truth subjective?

@bjosch4365 There is no such thing as personal truth, you are confusing the words opinion and truth. Truth is truth. We don't get our own personal truths. Things are true or they are not, it is just a synonym for fact. Use the word opinion instead of truth and you'll end up making more sense. Sometimes a conspiracy theorist is a conspiracy theorist. If you believe that Sandy Hook was a hoax, then you are a conspiracy theorist. Those are the kinds of people that Shermer speaks of. Reptilians do not rule the world. The earth isn't flat. You get the picture. There are certainly people who use the term to discredit but Shermer I don't think is one of them.
