It’s important to remember the distinction between conspiracy, an act of covert collusion, and conspiracy theory, the free association and riffing upon inconsistencies, real or perceived.
I think that conspiracy theories are in the same bucket as paranormal or religious stuff. These are people looking for explanations to things they can’t, don’t, or won’t understand. They grasp at straws and then double down based on faith especially when their beliefs are contradictory to reality.
Communists lean on materialism, that is the real, as our primary philosophy for explaining the world around us. This is inherently contradictory to unfounded faith. What I mean is that the process by which conspiracy theories are created is inherently in opposition to the way that Marxists seek to explain the world.
Rather than gravitating to the process of hallucinating a narrative to justify your pre-existing beliefs and worldview, a good Marxist should instead seek to analyze and explain the “weird stuff” by doing actual investigative work firsthand and then doing good journalism yourself.

That is a distinction you make to separate yourself from a group of people you dislike. This distinction is however meaningless in the broad view of the public. As I said: speak of these subjects and you will be breaking a taboo, no matter how “proper” or whatever you are about it. Talk about project Northwoods or how Uyghurs extremists were funded by the US in the late 00’s or the many many details surrounding the destruction of Nord Stream 2 and you will be labeled a conspiracy theorist. This taboo also exists on hexbear, despite these things not being ‘hallucinations’, they will get you treated as a reactionairy or doofis. Saying I hallucinate these things is incredibly rude and a good example of what I talk about with taboo.
