What if I told you the entire point of demonizing conspiracy theories is that you can then stage a conspiracy and anybody who tries to call you out can be easily claimed a wacko?
All of the evidence, besides that the dude killed some random Blackstone subsidiary’s CEO, points to him having an axe to grind with the NFL. He went to the office building of the NFL. He has a connection to football. He literally wrote two letters about how he holds the NFL responsible for his self-diagnosed CTE and wants them to study his brain.
Muddying the waters only serves to spread a false narrative that backfires when rational people look at these conspiracy theories. Just look at what these BS conspiracies have done to right-wingers.
The point of many of them now is to vocalize takes on events that you know are lies or at least very unlikely in order to support your worldview. They’re a subset of information warfare, meant to muddle the waters if not outright intimidate.
Example: people who say Luigi was framed but at the same time say CEOs need to be “Luigi’d.” The contradiction, or the truth of the matter, isn’t really important in their head, what they want to express is that killing CEOs is great and they want to support the people who do it. You’ll see the same trains of thought from Holocaust deniers and lost causer neo confederates.
The next words out of your mouth will be some crazy fucking blood libel and you won’t even know because you’ve been so brainwashed. If I hazard, I guess you’re some kind of qanon type person

No, most conspiracy theories are absolutely retarded and implausible. But grand of conspiracy does exist, didn’t kid yourself
