Not necessarily guilt-by-association, but maybe rather pointing out that the two arguments/conspiracy theories share a similar flawed structure, so if you discredit one, you should discredit the other.
Still, I’m also unsure how much structure they share, and even if they did, I don’t think this would be discursively effective because I don’t think most people care that much about (that kind of) consistency (happy to be updated in the direction of most people caring about it).
