Thanks Frogwoman for more considered responses. Will get back to you on your points rather than get into too much detail here. I know there is too much tendency to see "zionism" (often cover word for "jew") in some conspiracies (slightly less so masonry, catholicism). The very word "zionism" is problematic for me, (means too many things to too many people according to what point they are trying to make, right or wrong, jew haters especially tend to juggle it's meaning to suit the occasion IME)
It's also true that people with an anti semite agenda will insert their narrative into a conspiracy where it has no place. That the "conspiracy angle" is polluted by anti semite vultures is very much a problem for speculators, but again it doesn't mean conspiracies don't happen.
Someone else pointed out a FB rebellion type group where this had happened, and it is very common.
Last night I was reading comments under an anti fracking video - apparently that's all part of the zionist plot as well, but I won't stop speaking out against fracking just because some twat posts that kind of stuff. I used as much sarcasm and invective against them as I have learned to wield from my years on here.
placing opposing of anti-conspiracism on the same level of knee jerk conpiracism is more of a logic thing. I just prefer the case by case basis, though it is arduous.
Yet, the bottom line remains that conspiracies happen. That's a fact of politics, not ethnicity or faith. It is logical fallacy to deduce that because some conspiracy theories (and an overarching one) are alleged against Jewish people as a whole, it then follows that all conspiracy theories are, by their very existance, propping up those with anti semitic content.
