CRITIQUE / OPINION by Pallavi Dawson — "The cult of conspiracy." (published 2026-07-12).
This is a third-party critique ABOUT the Charlie Kirk / Tyler Robinson case — NOT the court record. Indexed for comparison against the primary transcripts/filings AND against what the commentators actually said. Source: https://pallavidawson.substack.com/p/the-cult-of-conspiracy

Dawson criticizes Owens's method rather than a single quoted claim: forming 'a narrative based on feelings and vibes instead of substantial pieces of evidence' to 'utterly demonise your targeted person.' She points to 'Tyler Robinson, the man on trial for shooting Charlie Kirk,' and the factual court proceedings as what should matter, contrasted with Owens's conspiracy framing. The core criticism is that Owens employs psychological manipulation and conspiracy thinking that distracts from the factual court record. NOTE: critiques Owens's methodology rather than rebutting a specific named factual assertion.
