Today, though, George Monbiot writes, "conspiracism is fascism’s fuel".
It is like being called drunk by George Best.
Monbiot: "Almost all successful conspiracy theories originate with or land with the far right."
Is he saying that his very own Big Oil conspiracy theory is not 'far right' or is not successful?

How many of George's own claims are not conspiracy theories?
Very, very few.
