“conspiracy addict” is a great turn of phrase. I think I’m going to steal it 🙂

I was trying to find a compact phrase to translate “complotiste”!

Plotter or conspirator…. closest that I can come with just 4 letters… daft, kook or loon.
Only because they don’t really fit as being a quisling, judas, recreant, confederate, apostate…

‘Conspiracist’ is a real word in English but for some reason nobody seems to use it. ‘Conspiracy theorist’ sounds far too respectable.

A lot of them are past the point of theorizing, as well. They are all in.

DeWolf, a conspiracist would be someone engaged in conspiring with others to do something – usually something illegal or dangerous. These people are believers in arcane conspiracies, which is a different thing entirely.
Actually, I am wrong. My definition would be for “conspirator” so a “conspiracist” really is a person engaged in supporting a theory about one or more conspiracies. Sorry.
