Recent events preceeding this:
First about a month ago someone discovered that a redirect conversation had been going on at the Cultural Marxism article page. A user named RGloucester, a self-proclaimed Marxist, was leading a charge to redirect the article to one called "Frankfurt School Conspiracy theory" which claims that Cultural Marxism is just a conspiracy theory believed in by conservatives who are challenging political correctness. It argues that "cultural marxism" is just a scapegoat used by conservatives to drum up support against the left-wing. It also makes connections of proponents of this "conspiracy theory" to the Tea Party, White Nationalists, Antisemites (because most of the Frankfurt School was Jewish), and Anders Breivik (the Norwegian mass murderer). The article was redirected. After some people raised their concerns with Jimbo Wales about this, he restored the article and called for more discussion. An author/professor quoted on the Conspiracy Theory article page, Paul Gottfried, responded to what he saw as his quotes being used in a misleading way. His own quote is now absent from the current article.
Just a few days ago, the article was nominated for deletion again and this is the result.

Because it's easier to delete the very thing that explains what you're doing than to try to argue that you aren't doing it. It's like a thief in the night trying to say he didn't rob your house as he makes his way out of your window with your jewelry.
Because when you hear the words "conspiracy theory" your mind immediately thinks of some hick with a tin foil hat. That's why they do it. Since Roswell we've all come to view conspiracy theories as retarded ideas and the "theorists" as retards. So when they call what you do a conspiracy theory they are trying to evoke that image in people's minds.
As someone whose been tarred as a "conspiracy theorist" for pointing out the obvious connections between institutionally suppressed information for the past decade or so, welcome to the club.
Enjoy basking in the awesome power of our shared patriarchal white male privilege!
THEY - THEM!!! THOSE WITH THE SECRET AGENDA THAT RULE THE WORLD
