conspiracy theorists

02.20.07 | Comment?

Brilliant article by George Monbiot on gullible conspiracy theorists and the damage they do to real opposition and protest movements.

On a related note. The use of the word conspiratorial to refer to conspiracy theories or theorists is a lazy perversion of the English language. It should properly be used to refer to conspiracies or conspirators. (Not used in the article, of course, but I keep reading it in American publications, and even from the BBC.)
