The idea behind the use of such labels as "conspiracy theorist", "anti-semite", "racist", "misogynist", etc. is to make the labelled person seem beyond the pale and not worth listening to.
These labels are not about accurately representing the person. They're about influencing other people to dismiss or ignore anything the labelled person says.
Of course such labels won't put off the intrepid person who knows how these things work. It only puts off the more heavily brainwashed and controlled members of society, who have no real passion for truth.
