More than a few wins, but regardless, the pejorative nature of the term is a way of dismissing the person who doesn't buy the mainstream narrative on a given thing rather than engaging with their specific arguments or alternative views. It is a kind of ad hominem and therefore unhelpful. That's my point.

I honestly have a conspiracy theory that this is a willfull psyop. I think they use planted nutters like Alex Jones to spread genuine craziness mixed in with true conspiracies as a way to poison the well of inconvenient truths will garbage. Very effective way to scare regular people away from questioning the narrative.

That said, you might just as well try dying on the hill that the N word isn't racist it just means an ignorant person. It's been effectively ruined for everyone and we're never going back.
