Have you noticed that the term ‘conspiracy theory’ (& ‘conspiracy theorist’ too) gets weaponized in all kinds of directions? By myriad actors, agents, & entities. Then millions of people obediently look the other direction. How sad to move thru the world like that. Disrespecting your capacity to gauge what’s valid independently from what the matrix’s thought leaders + influencers sold you. Bullshit meters atrophying cuz you’d never wanna be judged as that ‘out there.’ Yet wisdom allows no such bypassing. Guess what? We don’t need to write ideas off by default when we’re discerning. Who’s afraid of a conspiracy theory? Let’s put our awareness to good use and talk about the limiting function the term conspiracy theory performs. I dare you to give no fucks about the smoke & mirrors show & to, instead, perceive with eyes open. When we get the corporate propaganda, PR, & academic fads outta our lives, where might decolonial feminist reads on ‘conspiracies’ take us? I’ll take you thru how I vet a few currently trending so-called ‘conspiracy theories.’ For folx who are intellectually & perceptually confident, a friendly philosophical experiment or two wouldn’t be too intimidating, no? And if the idea of joining me down this rabbit hole feels scary, well- it’s Halloween. PS- Yes, I’ll be sharing excerpts from my book Pulling Weeds & Planting Seeds: on Decolonial Discernment. Make sure to cite my intellectual production if you’re inspired by these ideas & wanna share them out! Don’t steal from BIWOC- have ethics! Don’t plagiarize or my folx will come for you. PPS- Please help us on Patreon or Paypal so this book can support our discernment in these deadly times.
