One of the weirder folk tale collections I have comr across is this book with 63 tales about the #Freemasons .

They range from slanderous to very slanderous. But, in truth, they are not so different in character from modern #ConspiracyTheory / #ConspiracyFantasy you can find in #MAGA circles, #AntiSemitism , the #TERF movement and so forth.

The actors and the elements change, but the bigotry stays the same.

"[Conspiracy theories] can lead to disorder in lots of ways. They are disruptive ideas because they're accusing (usually) a centre of power - the establishment - of doing something bad. So it is a critique of the major institutions and the normal way of doing things.

At the same time they can be positive ..."

Loomer walked into the WH with a sheaf of papers, which amounted to a mass of opposition research attacking the character & loyalty of numerous #NSC ofcls. She proceeded to excoriate them in front of their boss, the #NationalSecurity adviser #MikeWaltz, who was also in the meeting.

Loomer’s rhetoric & actions have been so #extreme that she has alienated others even on the #FarRight. She has shared a #ConspiracyTheory on social media calling the Sept 11th 2001, terrorist attacks an “inside job.”

“They’ve got some very bad things going on in South Africa,” #Trump goes on a #ConspiracyTheory based tangent when he outlines the reciprocal tariff against that nation. Trump & #Musk have repeatedly amplified false claims about the persecution of #white Afrikaners in #SouthAfrica, & made an exception to his refugee ban to screen Afrikaners for #refugee status. Trump included in his tangent a typical criticism of the #media for how it covers South Africa.

Tinfoil hat time! My theory is that ALL "groundbreaking, paradigm shifting, industry disrupting" vaporware of the last decade, i.e. "AI" and crypto coins, were invented soley by NVIDIA to boost their GPU sales.

If not: please, VC tech dude bros, can you pleeeeaaaase leave GPUs alone for your next vaporware bullshit?? I just wanna play RDR2 on maxed out settings 🥲

The tensions make explicit the obstacles facing #courts as they seek to get a grip on #truth & underscore the extent to which #Trump’s brazen manipulation of #facts has paved the way for him to aggressively bolster his authority…
Accused of defying a court order by deporting hundreds of Venezuelan migrants…,the admin claimed the judge had no right to issue the order—in part bc, it says, the men are *terrorists* who have *invaded* the US on behalf of #Venezuela’s govt.[#ConspiracyTheory nonsense]

Basse Aspettative Podcast

In questa puntata esaminiamo alcune teorie del complotto e scopriamo quali sono i caratteri che le accomunano, per imparare a riconoscerle quando cercano di propinarcele.

Poi ampliamo un po’ il discorso e cerchiamo di capire chi crede a queste teorie e come si diventa “complottisti”.

Study Links Spite to Conspiracy Theory Beliefs

neurosciencenews.com/spite-con

A new study finds that spite—driven by feelings of uncertainty, threat, or disadvantage—plays a key role in conspiracy theory belief. Researchers analyzed data from 1,000 participants and found that spiteful motives strengthened the link between conspiracy thinking and the need for understanding, security, and social significance.
