1nc K:

their methodology is flawed - conspiracy theory relies on non falsifiable data, is self referential and anything used to disprove htem is part of a larger conspiracy -t his is a worldview that encourages witchunts against anyone that disagrees with them. vote neg on presumption because the aff hasn't advanced a warrant for their 1ac's truth value s

our argument isn't that conspiracies dont exist but that their specific conspiracy is stpuid and buys into fascist tthinking - utilize specific standards of evidence to evaluate truth claims and not accept the "expertise" of their authors. they must prevent you with verifiable claims to win

social change - conspiracy theory is so illogical that it discredits legitimate attempts to investigate how power operates and prevents developing effective strategies for resistance. we agree that the world needs changing and that power operates behind the scenes but its not due to the actions of a few powerful individuals but instead is a structural phenomenon that requires a focus on social justice to correct. focusing on conspiracy theory lets institutions responsible for inequality off the hook

not only is their evidence not qualified it makes massive leaps in logic and evidence and employs racist scapegoating techniques to cover up its flaws - its the ultimate fascist worldview and promotes racism and totalitarianism

alt - advocate resistance to oppressive governmental practicies through organized non cooperation and to question authority - this is the only check to coming totalitarianism, perm is impossible - refusing intellectual standards of analyzing truth claims makes it easy for the government to stamp out opposition bc the govt employs the logic of conspiracy theory as an excuse for the never-ending war on terrorism and destructuion of individual liberty
