some of the conspiracy theories contain truths

the label of “conspiracy theory” or “propaganda” does not automatically make every element within a given claim false.

It is common for propaganda to embed a factual kernel to gain credibility. for example, claiming “The US has conducted surveillance on foreign leaders” was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” but was later proven true by Snowden documents.

Information used to manipulate is useless, trying to cherry pick what is “true” is absurd. It’s like seeking a mouldy bread just to try to pick the edible parts, instead of trying to get a proper loaf of bread.

If all given information is true, it is truth; if not, it is propaganda, manipulation, or false information
