How about we start calling conspiracy theorists "conscientious objectors of the established narrative" instead?

How about just people who actually pay attention to the details.

I like your style, dude. Could call each other COEN brothers.

Ha! Funny you say that. I was just thinking about the acronym when I posted this and it spelled out C-O-E-N like those kick-ass movie-making brothers. Then you came up with "COEN Brothers" and suddenly, it all makes sense! Maybe it'll catch on...

How about "Revisionists."

Interesting, although I think "revisionism" has a bit of a negative connotation.

Let's use their word weapons against them.

Skeptics.

It establishes the skeptic as the authority that stands against a barrage of bullshit, sifting out the corn that's often mistaken for nuggets of truth.

I like that. I'd say "skeptic" is pretty spot on and sounds more authoritative and less derisive than the CIA made-up term that's pushed by the mainstream media.

"Evidence Theorists"

If the FBI is so concerned with “fringe conspiracy theories,” and people who call out Govt corruption conducting violent terroristic acts, lol, they should start with the biggest bullshit story in the last half-century: Cave-dwelling Muslims with boxcutters hijacked 4 planes and outsmarted the entire US intelligence apparatus. Start here. And after that you might want to look at yourself, FBI, and admit to your skullduggery in the Anthrax attack deception.

If they are on 8chan, we can call them FBI agents. Especially if they are goading people to violence.
