"How, the men of the #manosphere invariably ask, did we end up here?
The answer, more often than not, is that #women are not imagined as acting alone. In the #conspiratorial imagination, #femaleautonomy cannot simply emerge from social change, economic independence or shifting norms. It must have been engineered. And once a movement begins searching for hidden engineers – those who corrupt tradition, weaken men, control #media, #finance institutions and dissolve natural hierarchies – it is only a short walk into older and darker territory. The manosphere frequently rediscovers, in updated slang and meme form, the classic architecture of #antisemitism. Women become marionettes, controlled by dark forces pulling the strings behind the scenes. #Jews provide an answer to the question: who designed this system? The manosphere sells wounded men a fantasy of restored power while antisemitism supplies the villain who stole it."

@bulwark A new House subcommittee has been established to finally, at long last, give the #January6th attack on #US #Capitol the investigation #DonaldTrump "thinks it deserves." The new subcommittee’s #Republican members, appointed by #HouseSpeaker #MikeJohnson, have all held #conspiratorial views about what transpired at Capitol that day...#pardons #trump #democracy #lies #history #insurrection #Facts not #lies #fascism #autocracy #trump #rewriting #history to align with his demands. #congress

The #Paranoid Style in American #Politics ( Harper’s 1964)
American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers who have now demonstrated in the #Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities & passions of a small minority… I call it the paranoid style … heated #exaggeration, #suspiciousness , & #conspiratorial #fantasy that I have in mind

Donald Trump's #mental #state appears to have further #deteriorated since last night’s news about a new grand jury’s #superseding #indictment of him on charges of trying to overthrow the 2020 presidential election.
Over the course of about four hours this morning, Trump #posted #50 #times on his social media platform, mostly reposting material that was associated with #QAnon, #violent, #authoritarian, or #conspiratorial.
🔸He suggested he is “100% INNOCENT,” and that the indictment is a “Witch Hunt.”
🔸He called for trials and jail for special counsel Jack #Smith, former president Barack #Obama, and the members of Congress who investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
🔸And he reposted a sexual insult about the political careers of both Vice President Kamala #Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary #Clinton.Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign has today escalated the fight about Trump’s photo op Monday at #Arlington #National #Cemetery, where campaign staff took photos and videos in Section 60, the burial ground of recent veterans, apparently over the strong objections of cemetery officials.
Then the campaign released photos and a video from the visit attacking Harris.
A statement from the Arlington National Cemetery reiterated:
♦️“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign. ♦️
⭐️Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.
We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.”Arlington National Cemetery was established on the former property of General Robert E. Lee in 1864,
after the Lee family did not pay their property taxes.
At the time, Lee was leading Confederate forces against the United States government, and those buried in the cemetery in its early years were those killed in the Civil War.
The cemetery is one of two in the United States that is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army, and it is widely considered hallowed ground. -
#TIL #TodayILearned #Religiosity and #Conspiratorial #Beliefs were strongly linked in a Baylor University study
- The intersection of religion and politics makes the discrete religion effect on conspiratorial thinking hard to concisely determine, and we must note that there are lots of different types and expressions of religiosity.

1 Million March met with thousands of #counterprotesters across #Canada.
“These (Farright) #protests are supported by a big tent of #rightwing and #conspiratorial #groups, including #ChristianNationalists (#Fascists) , #conservative #Muslims, #COVID19 #conspiracytheorists, #sovereigncitizens, anti-#publiceducation #activists,”

" Nobody becomes a #billionaire by accident. You have to have wanted that level of power, control & wealth more than you wanted anything else in your life. They all sacrifice family, relationships, stability, community, connection, and belonging in service of keeping score on a scale that actually yields no additional real-world benefits on the path from that first $100 million to the tens of billions.
This makes billionaires "a cohort that is, counterintutively, very easily manipulated." And they're all #manipulators
and hang out together, which means that when a #conspiratorial belief takes root in one billionaire's brain, it spreads to the rest of them like wildfire.Then, billionaires "push each other further and further into extreme ideas because their entire careers have been predicated on the idea that they're genius outliers who can see things others can't, and that their wealth is a reward for that imagined merit."

Their above headline is too reserved. Try 'TROVE OF EMAILS reveals inept #legacyMedia, stumbling in the #conspiratorial dark to engage their own sordid #conspiracy - doing harm to the global community and #journalism.
Even #Bellingcat is exposed by the insider as "intel service input by proxy"!
The #EmpireOfLies had a long run, folks.
