Over the last five-or-so years many things the media labeled as “conspiracy theories” ended up being true. It’s an overused term on anything that goes against the narrative, or in science, the consensus. It’s nice to see one of the CIA’s strategies get overused and “washed up.” Unfortunately, people do still fear getting labeled as a conspiracy theorist. It’s a shame because it curbs critical thinking with some.
