Most people understand a conspiracy theory to exist in a realm where disparate, unrelated facts slot into a person’s monomania to create a threat manifest only to that person. In this realm, the most persuasive evidence is the absence of evidence. The mere fact that no one has ever seen a secretive Jewish cabal nor read the cabal’s “plan” for world domination is, in itself, proof to the monomaniacal antisemite that such a plan exists.
But is it a conspiracy theory when your ideological enemy boasts loudly about its plan for world domination and threatens violence to achieve this goal? Or when adherents of this ideology then act violently? I would say that at this moment, you’ve morphed from an inchoate conspiracy theory that can be shouted down as “racism,” and seen the same theory move into the spotlight as manifest enemy action.
I mention all this because, lately, X has seen a startling rise in the number of videos showing Muslims openly stating that their goal is the complete destruction of the West, with the explicit or implicit threat of violent action:
