The trend that bugs me the most these days is people pretending that the misuse of a term sometimes actually means it never applies. It’s a constant now. If you call something a conspiracy, people will point to other conspiracies that were true as if that makes all conspiracies true. Same thing happens when you identify someone as racist, a Neo-Nazi, racial supremacist, bigot, sex trafficked etc. Just because people sometimes use such terms to wrongly smear people does not mean that they never apply.
