"Conspiracy thinking is also a trap because it contains feedback loops of positive reinforcement. If you reject authoritative sources of information as part of a conspiracy, then you will likely reject any information that can disprove the conspiracy. Any information that contradicts the conspiracy, or lack of information that would prove the conspiracy, are part of the conspiracy."

"Musk — who amplified conspiracy theories surrounding the 2022 hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of Nancy Pelosi — again waded into the fray.
“**The far left is murderously violent,” he wrote on X the same day he said he was working to reprogram X’s AI program Grok because it was spreading “leftist indoctrination.**”

It doesn’t matter how much they scream and point. We know it’s almost always a far-right loon - and often a religious one. https://www.wired.com/story/psyop-far-right-conspiracy-theories-minnesota-shooting/

It’s especially frustrating because there •is• election manipulation happening in plain sight: voter suppression, gerrymandering, a vast media empire of right-wing falsehood, microtargeted disinformation from billionaires and hostile foreign states alike, GOP- and Putin-backed grifters posing as left-leaning third party candidates and then just pocketing the donations and disappearing —
•none• of that even in doubt. We do not need to search for a shadowy conspiracy. Democracy’s being strangled in broad daylight.

A heady throng of tech billionaires, ministers, corporate titans and the king of the Netherlands have convened in Sweden for the 71st Bilderberg meeting
– the publicity-shy annual policy conference that has long sustained conspiracy theorists
– hosted this year by the fabulously wealthy Wallenberg family.
The four days of transatlantic talks are taking place at the swanky Grand hotel,
which is owned, like so much else in Sweden, by the Wallenbergs.
The Swedis…
