Good one. I think many liberals still don't know the facts, whether by the action of refusing to read the facts, or the design of the mainstream in still not allowing the facts to be known. I am using the "if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears, is there still sound?" question. Yes, of course there is still sound, but no one heard it. If progressives and liberals don't see the facts, and don't know the facts, they are still facts.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I’m a conspiracy analyst! Bottom line is that not being a “conspiracy theorist” is a fine excuse for the comfort of willful blindness. It also doubles as a conceited virtue-signaling pose. People that ignore conspiracies are ignorant by definition. Ignorance may be bliss, but it’s no virtue…
How could somebody think as a general principle that conspiracy theories are bunk? Conspiracies go on all around us all the time. Every one of us is involved in one from time to time. The prisons are full of people convicted of conspiracy to commit some crime or other.

Carroll Quigley has a book about conspiracies. You can download a pdf of it for free from his website, carrollquigley dot net
