How the new conspiracists are undermining democracy - and what can be done about it
Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new - conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum reveal how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, why so few officials speak truth to conspiracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.
Classic conspiracy theory insists that things are not what they seem and gathers evidence - especially facts ominously withheld by official sources - to tease out secret machinations. The new conspiracism is different. There is no demand for evidence, no dots revealed to form a pattern, no close examination of shadowy plotters. Dispensing with the burden of explanation, the new conspiracism imposes its own reality through repetition (exemplified by the Trump catchphrase “a lot of people are saying”) and bare assertion (“rigged!”).
The new conspiracism targets democratic foundations - political parties and knowledge-producing institutions. It makes it more difficult to argue, persuade, negotiate, compromise, and even to disagree. Ultimately, it delegitimates democracy.
Filled with vivid examples, A Lot of People Are Saying diagnoses a defining and disorienting feature of today’s politics and offers a guide to responding to the threat.

Thank you!

Listen to the journalists, politicians, corporations and the scientists they’ve bought, don’t listen to the dissenting voice of the experts!

Julian Assange exposed your lying asses

‘the experts’ - found in comment sections across the internet.

Paraphrased as “Be a good little labrat worker drone, and shut up and take your injection”, which orange Man endorsed BTW. If you teleported me back a a few years, I could not have fathomed a more demonic and mentally ill cult if i tried. Believe this diarrhea at your own serious risk of death or disability. Ironic it isn’t being a lunatic conspiracy theorist to plunge the documented most lethal quackcine in history, endlessly into your arm, is it! Because you must be mentally unhinged to even question the leading cause of death in the 20th and 21st century, the state and its religion: ‘western medicine’.

Thanks. Sounds interesting.

To think that people having opinions is an “attack on democracy” is the dumbest conspiracy theory of them all.

Gaslighting for the globalist/establishment narrative pays well. Who’d have thunk it?
