Conspiposting
A goalpost‑moving tactic that demands the target “prove” that a certain event or pattern is not a conspiracy theory, often by requiring impossible standards of proof (e.g., “show me the memo where they admitted it”). When the target provides evidence, the goalposts shift to “anyone can fake documents.” The real aim is to keep the target endlessly proving their sanity, while the accuser never has to engage with the substance. Conspiposting is often used in debates about historical abuses, government secrecy, and corporate malfeasance.
Example: “She presented declassified documents; he said ‘anyone can forge those.’ She provided archival records; he said ‘conspiracy theorists always find something.’ Conspiposting: demanding proof while refusing to accept any.”
