I don’t oppose ridiculing conspiracy theories, particularly when they deserve it. However, I’m with @MarkHoofnagle. Where were all you rationalists when the conspiracy theory that is climate science denial took over @GOP? Or during the last five years, when antivax did the same?https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1304567255372570625 …

First, "I don't believe climate science" isn't a conspiracy theory, it's ignorance. As is being an anti-vaxxer. "Hillary Clinton drinks baby blood" in a different league. But as usual, "I must make this about my preferred politics" overwhelms everything else.

Second, not everyone who doesn't instantly share your views - or who doesn't understand them - isn't a conspiracy theorist. Labeling every view, no matter how stupid, as "a conspiracy theory" is up there with "all views I hate are fascism." It's dumb.

There are very reasonable concerns about GMO, for example Roundup leading to resistance leading to much wider use of the very unpleasant dicamba. Had pigweed been considered as a crop, we'd be much better off. But that would have sold fewer herbicides.
