It kind of is a conspiracy theory though. Just like not wanting to be around blacks is actually racist. The problem is the negative connotations of those words, not their meanings. Reject (((their))) connotations and accept things for what they are, good or bad. These linguistic tricks are pretty much their only weapon and they’re remarkably easy to defeat by just not bowing to them (see the broad expansion of the definition of anti-semitism in recent years and the reactions that has gleaned). The litmus test for validity is whether something is true or false, not whether the label assigned to it is viewed as negative or positive.
