    Might help him look less like a disinformation source supporting the left!

    Standing by for Rich to demonstrate yet again that his claims he's not political are just more of his lies and disinformation :)

    A very poignant article. I liked many of the comments but this extract from one is brilliant.

    "It appears that when people use the term 'conspiracy theorist' it is entirely ideologically driven,
    with intention to stifle dissent or alternative viewpoints. I suspect that 'conspiracy theorist'
    is used as a generic term of abuse, and just like the other well loved woke insults such as 'transphobic',
    'far right' etc, are not meant to be taken with any kind of literal meaning at all. It is purely an attempt
    to denigrate anyone with differing viewpoints and attempt to discredit them using ad hominem rather than logical arguments."
    What a brilliant insight that is.

    You bet me to it Tony.

    I think the shows that we are on the road to no place dignified. It is a
    case of slanging insults at each other and minds closing off. Scrapping frequently and the woke folks making excuses to get authorian. Not a good society.

    Do we hear a hint that the election was stolen?

    Down in the comments we have

    The term 'conspiracy theorist' is itself ludicrous. We are told that
    all of us who did not want to get the mRNA inoculations were 'conspiracy theorists', with no consideration of the possibilty that we merely
    questioned the efficacy and even safety of a novel medication that had previously not been commercially viable. What 'conspiracy' were we
    alleged to theorise about? Why could we not have an open discussion about
    these issues, instead of being marginalised? Why is it a 'conspiracy
    theory' to wonder if a new medical process might have adverse reactions,
    when it is not 'conspiracy theory' to suspect (for example) that eating
    KFC might have some negative health impacts?

    It appears that when people use the term 'conspiracy theorist' it is entirely ideologically driven, with intention to stifle dissent or
    alternative viewpoints. I suspect that 'conspiracy theorist' is used as
    a generic term of abuse, and just like the other well loved woke insults
    such as 'transphobic', 'far right' etc, are not meant to be taken with
    any kind of literal meaning at all. It is purely an attempt to denigrate
    anyone with differing viewpoints and attempt to discredit them using ad
    hominem rather than logical arguments.
