Calling something a conspiracy theory is a new way to shame people who hold opinions that are different than your own.

You're saying that like the anti-vaxx/chem-trail crowd don't deserve to be shamed.

Sometimes people are wrong. If you don't like getting callled out, argue your position.

You're saying that like pointing out that the Hillary people ran the development for this app is similar to anti vaccine arguments. They arent similar.

Is a vastly more broad statement. All I'm pointing out is that anti-vaxx people would say the exact same thing. Answer challenges with facts and arguments, not useless bold claims.
