Well, there's a difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory. "Conspiracy theory" is pretty much ingrained as a label for this kind of nonsense:

I think most people can understand this important distinction and that real conspiracies (like Watergate, or the various digital restriction agreements) exist, so it's not necessary to reject this definition of "conspiracy theory".

As for the use of the term "conspiracy" in this flame war, HuangLao was accusing people behind systemd of conspiring with Red Hat to "push" systemd on the community, so I don't think the term "conspiracy" was misplaced here.

I find it really annoying that "conspiracy" nowadays is primarily associated with this kind of debates, where everything is speculated and no one is bothered to do any real research and provide any concrete evidence to support or refute claims. (...) You shouldn't use "conspiracy" or "conspiracy theory" when you just want to say that someone isn't providing any evidence.

How do you even refute an argument that is not supported by any fact? The only possible answer is: "provide evidences".

Hasn't Trisquel/Ubuntu been using AppArmor for a long time by default instead of SELinux?

But there's a lot of programs that depend on SELinux.

apt-cache rdepends libselinux1
