that is exactly what the 'critical theorists' claim to be doing in the study of sociology...for example...
"Critical social theory is, in contrast, a form of self-reflective knowledge involving both understanding and theoretical explanation to reduce entrapment in systems of domination or dependence, obeying the emancipatory interest in expanding the scope of autonomy and reducing the scope of domination."
is this not exactly what conspiracy theorists claim they are doing? freeing people from propagandistic intellectual 'systems of domination' and getting them to 'expand the scope of autonomy' by thinking for themselves?
some criticial theorists have even admitted and complained that conspiracy theorists are using their methods...
it is also funny that the word 'discernment' is used so much by defenders of conspiracy theory...
"The two meanings of critical theory — from different intellectual traditions associated with the meaning of criticism and critique—derive ultimately from the Greek word kritikos meaning judgment or discernment, and in their present forms go back to the 18th century."
conspiracy theory is 'discernment' the frankfurt way...surprise!

but total rubbish.
what contortions you are putting yourself through.
it's amazing.
talk about a conspiracy theory!!
rachel, Israel did 9-11.
it was an inside job to sucker the US into the Middle East to kill and die and pay for everything.
its pretty obvious.
i suspect everyone at this point who has two brain cells to rub together who consistently denies corruption; gangsterism and conspiracies at the highest levels. particularly 9-11. after all this time...the fake osama bin laden trash...the humanitarian interventions in the Yinon Plan countries.
purleeze. the plans are available everywhere...drawn up decades ago! ROTFLMHO
give it up.
someone can say Watergate was a conspiracy....then not look at the players and follow their careers?
LOLOLOLOL
