Too many people would have to keep it a secret...

That is entirely subjective.

If you look at conspiracists in this very thread, the moon landing deniers say they are the 'reasonable' ones and call the flat earthers crazy. The antivax conspiracists say they are the 'reasonable' ones, and call the moon landing deniers crazy. The 9/11 conspiracists say they are the 'reasonable' ones, and call the antivaxxers crazy.

The single one, reliable way to identify an antivax conspiracist is that they all say: "I'm not an antivaxxer, BUT.."

The term 'conspiracy theorist' describes a person who believes in conspiracy theories, regardless of how 'realistic' the conspiracy theories are. So the term is actually well chosen - it is not supposed to imply the subjective 'truthfulness' of different conspiracy theories, or take sides in the infighting of the different factions of conspiracists.

Context is important.

People use sweeping generalisations about history to justify anything, e.g. "Governments have lied to people before" to validate a belief that the government is lying about the space program.

But no one is doing that.

No you didn't. You quoted a person asking for the specific motive behind why they wanted to kill people.

This is not denying that they would.

That person also clarified this to you directly.

So again, no one here holds the position you are describing.

But again, you are pretending that the poster holds that the government wouldn't want to kill people if it benefits them.

This isn't true.

No one here holds this position.

You are doing a lot of stretching and gymnastics to try and pretend they do. You should stop doing that.

No, they didn't.

Not sure why you're pretending that they did now. Very bizarre.

It was explained to you that they were asking for a specific motivation and they were not denying that the government would be willing to kill people.

No one holds the position you are claiming. Please stop pretending they do. It's very silly and making you look ridiculous.

But your position is simply not true. No one here believe that conspiracies don't happen because the government would be unwilling to cause harm.

The point everyone, including the person you seem determined to misrepresent, is making is that conspiracy theories and conspiracy theorists rarely provide any rational motivation for the conspiracies.

We all fully accept that the US government will lie, steal and murder. But none of us can imagine why the US government would want to fake all space flight as per the OPs conspiracy theory. Doing so just for the sake of lying stealing and murdering does not make for a rational motivation.

Can you explain why the US government would want to fake the whole space program?

If you can't and don't believe this conspiracy would it be then fair to accuse you of believing and saying that the US doesn't lie?

So now that the singular example of a person you believe holds the position you claim has specifically told you they don't hold that position, could you please acknowledge that you claim was wrong?

It would be a very Trump Supporterish thing to do to ignore this and not withdraw your false accusations.

Sorry, you've dodged all of my points. How very trumpian.

Here they are again for your convenience. Please address them now.

No need to challenge people to a debate. Just answer those questions directly and concisely.

Or alternatively, if you can't or are unwilling to answer these questions about your position that you invited, simply say so and explain why.

Or you could keep dodging and crying and behaving like a trump supporter.

Also, again, another example of a conspiracy theory that was revealed by the government itself and covered by the mainstream media.

If they can't keep a conspiracy of 6 people under wraps, how could they do it with ones that involve thousands or millions?
