I never said that, to be fair.

Of course there are conspiracies. People in power want to stay in power, and they'll do shady things to get what they want.

That's not the same as conspiracist ideation, which is a tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. Even as the article I quoted said, it can be harmful or pathological, but isn't necessarily. It's just when it happens to an extreme level. There's a difference between rational fears and phobias; intrusive thoughts are normal, but can be frequent, uncontrollable, and distressing; conspiracies can be true, but then there's buck wild nonsense like Q, "Cultural Marxism," and this shit about the Superbowl. It's not recognizing conspiracies when presented with evidence, it's spinning conspiracy theories out of nothing, and viewing everything as part of a master plot, even if it doesn't make any goddamn sense.
