It's an interesting hypocrisy, or dialectic if you will.

As you say, conspiratorial thinking is the basis for myths about the empire's enemies, but at the same time "conspiracy theories" have been vilified at every opportunity by the very same myth making machine since the Kennedy assassination.

As a personal aside, my partner is concerned that I will fall into a "conspiracy theory" or "cult" bubble due to my ML leanings, and may lose touch with reality.

That's why it's important not to fall into the old Soviet way of having a Marx or Lenin quote for everything. It's a good exercise to vulgarise dialectical materialistic analysis and back it with academic sources, as well as references to the basis of logic and the scientific method.

Some people will still think you're dogmatic even with that though, then a good way of staying in friendly territory is to take a shot at flat earthers and QAnon nuts from time to time
