Interesting article: ‘How I talk to the victims of conspiracy theories’

Extremely interesting given the recent dangerous rise of Qanon

from Jimmy saville's good mates at the BBC

Conspiracy theories are the modern day equivalent of cults except far too common, it's honestly worrying it is how so many people are being radicalised and they don't even realise it.

I believed the Russia collusion story for 3 and half years.

Reason, The BBC told me it was so.

Bbc love to spread lies.

Yes, cos Qanon is known for telling the truth and not being a conspiracy cult, based on absolute bull****.

Regardless of the broadcaster of the piece, it’s a very interesting article and a very important one, conspiracy groups like Qanon are ridiculously dangerous, and people are being sucked in.

At least someone else in this thread is making any sense whatsoever

What evidence is there for your claim that they're ridiculously dangerous?

It's about as dangerous as Call of duty.

Antifa, on the other hand, who kill, riot, loot, burn down businesses, invade and occupy cities, intimidate and abuse. Now there is a ridiculous danger.

Oh... Kevin O'Sullivan whose job is to watch TV. :shame:

Tell that to the five people who died at Capitol.

Antifa's just a buzzword, a boogeyman for conservative politicians and media to use to brainwash easily led, incredibly gullible conservative viewers into blaming anyone but the right for the right's actions.

It's quite sad how so many grown ass people are so quick to abandon logic and reason to be believe in a fairy tale. It's quite sad how many people have been radicalised without realising it.
