This doesn't seem different from the idea that accusations of Conspiracy Theorist! are used to discredit legitimate concerns. It's hard to dismiss after thinking about it. I think about how little a worker drone will even know about the business strategies employed by management and how they personally could be "conspiring" and doing bad things in practice without even knowing.

It's worth it to be wary whenever someone accuses another of being a conspiracy theorist. Admittedly, some might be the actual disconnected-from-reality conspiracy theorist but one should always use a discerning eye when the claim is thrown around.
