"A “conspiracy theory” no longer means an event explained by a conspiracy. Instead it now means any explanation or even a fact that is out of step with the government’s explanation and that of its media pimps."
Word trickery by the 'epistemic authorities' , who should be more honestly epistemological in their endeavours.
'Belief' is insubstantial in itself and is synonymous with a multitude of words better suited for reasonable comprehension- such as THINK, SPECULATE & CONSIDER, ie'-
To Think upon what is most possible & likely'
In essence a 'conspiracy theory' is a process to 'IMAGINE/Consider/Speculate from the KNOWN facts available;'
'Belief' of course suggests a Religious conation, which provokes the image of Fanaticism, unreason and an anti-scientific disposition (all often unfounded stereotypes, yet used incessantly) - hence the extremist Right/Left hokum they resort to.
So, Miss Information- MIA-AMADA SPRINGS' great leap into 'Organised Conspiracy Movements' displays mental gymnastics far beyond even 'belief' ; she presents HER (groups) conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories, which has been conspiratorially devised to diminish & ridicule conspiracy theories while being an overt conspiracy in itself.... & multi-fold.
Some may admire the audacity of it all, while most of us will be repulsed by the bare faced gaslighting and malicious glee propelling Mary-Annauki Springs endeavours.
However, one thought possibly worth considering more deeply is 'who is she (the BBC et al) attacking. and in some way HIGHLIGHTING & PROMOTING by doing so ?' Is this an early retirement opportunity for tired or unfit controlled opposition, or are these sincere individuals with integrity and social concerns being unfairly victimised ?
A game is being played on her viewers/listeners to generate polarisation , is it a catalyst to encourage some 'Branded Concrete Conspiracy movement/s' that can then be easier to herd & channel?
Greenpeace, CND, Amnesty International , Unions & other originally (seemingly) well intentioned organisations quickly became infiltrated spook fronts and I would guess that the most prominent 'conspiracy gurus' have been part of the same theatre for many decades , informing us while peddling fear & misery.
If we accept that AEO is labelled "conspiracy theory" then nearly all demographic studies show that there is no appreciable gender divide for so-called "cosnpiracy thinking." It reflects population demographics. It seems women and men are equally likely to question power. This is interesting because psychology suggests, as you point out, that women are broadly more compliant than men. Perhaps this does not extend to political views. So I don't know why men and women are equally likely to question political power, but that does appear to be the case.

If everyone participates in conspiracies, that explains why people dislike a conspiracy theorist! A conspiracy theorist is a snitch, a telltale, a traitor. Who would like to be exposed?
So Verify is basically calling out snitches! Wouldn't it be interesting to know what techniques they use? If we learn to recognize those, I'm sure we would find them in more places.

I wonder what the gender divide is. Most women I know unquestionably accept anything that the Liberal media tells them to believe.

I am sure they see it that way.

Simply research the East German Stasi. That is the system they are trying to create.
The powers that be have infinitely more information than the Stasi ever had. When Mark Zuckerburg said "privacy is dead", he was not exaggerating.
What books can you recommend about the Stasi?
Anna Funder: - Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall - gives a good sense of what life was like under the Stasi
John Koehler: - Stasi: The Untold Story Of The East German Secret Police - politically biased but very well researched.
Why did you re-post Part 1 with a punctuation change in the Title?
I couldn't email unpaid subscribers unless I created a copy of the post. I thought I could if I just moved it from paid to free but apparently not.
