Conspiratising

Coming up with a conspiracy theory, so "theorise" but particularly for conspiracy theories. Can be done solo or in a group.

American spelling: conspiratizing

Like "I've been conspiratising that Jay Slater was never in the mountains."

Or "9/11 was an inside job? You're just conspiratising."

Conspiracumentary

A documentary based on a a known conspiracy theory that is created to convince its viewers that its content is fully true when a large amount of the content may be fabricated or misleading to promote the theory as factual.

Did you watch the latest conspiracumentary insert title here? I almost believed what I saw until I realized that most of its content was faked like we see on on social media..

Conspiracy Theory Card

A rhetorical gambit used to instantly dismiss an argument, line of questioning, or piece of evidence by labeling it a "conspiracy theory," regardless of its factual basis or the reasonableness of the inquiry. This card is played to associate the speaker with the most irrational and lurid examples of conspiracy thinking (like flat Earth or lizard people), thereby poisoning the well, shutting down debate, and protecting the accused institution or narrative from scrutiny. It's a thought-terminating cliché.

Example: A journalist asks a pharmaceutical executive about undisclosed clinical trial data. The executive smiles and says to the room, "I see we have a conspiracy theorist in our midst." Playing the Conspiracy Theory Card reframes legitimate investigative journalism as paranoid fantasy, allowing the executive to avoid the question and discredit the journalist without addressing the substance.

Conspiracy Hypothesis

Just as a Hypothesis is an educated guess with low-to-no evidence, so a Conspiracy Hypothesis has low-to-no evidence.

Unlike a Conspiracy THEORY which by (re)definition should have some or a lot of tangible or compelling evidence beyond empty assumptions, similarly to a scientific theory.

EXAMPLE 1)
Person 1: "bro did you hear about the Conspiracy Theory that ancient aliens have built the pyramids? These people and their Theories"

Person 2: " That isn't even a theory; it's straight up a conspiracy hypothesis. At least conspiracy theories about things like Epstein have evidence behind them."

EXAMPLE 2)
Facebook mom (federal agent): "They're putting 5G chips into 'em bags of chips"

Noone tells her that its just a Conspiracy Hypothesis, because Facebook is entirely composed of bots and feds.

Conspiracy Theory Fallacy Fallacy

The fallacy of assuming that pointing out that something is labeled a "conspiracy theory" automatically refutes it. Just as "conspiracy theory" is often used as a dismissal without examination, the fallacy lies in treating the label as the argument. Some conspiracy theories turn out true (MKUltra, Tuskegee, Iran-Contra). The label doesn't determine truth—evidence does. The fallacy is particularly insidious because it uses the existence of false conspiracy theories to dismiss all of them, ignoring that power actually does conspire sometimes, and that skepticism should be applied to dismissals as much as to claims.

Conspiracy Theory Fallacy Fallacy "They dismissed the investigation as 'just a conspiracy theory' without looking at any evidence. That's Conspiracy Theory Fallacy Fallacy—using the label as a refutation. Some conspiracy theories are false; some aren't. The label isn't the logic. Treating 'conspiracy theory' as automatic dismissal is itself a form of intellectual laziness dressed as sophistication."
