    Jeet Heer Retweeted Lindsay Beyerstein

    It's important to understand that the narrative structure of conspiracy thinking is additive and layered, like a village that grows into a city. Nothing is given up, just built on, which is why people still talk about illuminati & Elders of Zion.https://twitter.com/beyerstein/status/1304473629128884224 …

    QAnon isn't one conspiracy theory, it's an architecture for any number of conspiracy theories including 9/11 batshittery. https://twitter.com/ehananoki/status/1293951126950285318 …

        One important part of many conspiracy theories is 'it reaches back into antiquity' so you'll see links to things that happened centuries ago. Old magic is strong magic

        I mean, that happened. It just led to some liberal McCarthyism that accuses people of being in Putin’s pocket.

        Those are the gateway drugs into a world where Donald Trump wages a secret war against cannibalistic celebrities.

        I have a hypothesis that all conspiracy theories can be collapsed into the oldest conspiracy theory: that the Jews are behind everything.

        From the outside, it looks like a precarious house of cards that will collapse if you just remove the right card. From the inside, those "foundation" cards are huge stone pillars. Once they solidify, those theories become canon and everything else builds from there.

        Qanon is the result of people not having any kind of healthy outlet for their imaginations. The rhythms of modern life are only getting more spiritually numb and sterile -- humans need grandiose participatory narratives & collective fantasies.

        On the other hand gamers have that and it doesn't seem to have made them any less reactionary.
