System media give tips on dealing with “conspiracy theorists”
In the last three years, the term “conspiracy theory” has become the ultimate killer argument, used to smear anyone who dares to contradict the worldview dictated by government and mainstream media. The accusation is so well-suited to effectively undermining the basic right to freedom of expression that left-wing media are now even giving tips on how best to use it in everyday life to silence dissidents.
So “n-tv” now sees itself compelled to provide a comprehensive report on how to deal with alleged conspiracy theorists in the workplace. The pathologization of dissenting views as a kind of disease against which rules of conduct and “hygiene” are recommended has come a long way from the “special treatment” and psychiatrization of political dissidents. [“Hygiene”?Why does this sound so eerily familiar?]
Those who deviate are paranoid
The simple formula here: Anyone who takes critical and questioning positions on things such as globalism, the Great Reset, the background to the big “pandemic” and climate narratives or the active promotion of mass migration is declared a paranoid nutcase. It is claimed that the alleged problem of “conspiracy stories”, according to “n-tv”, has become clear “particularly in the past few years surrounding the Corona pandemic.” However, there is no explanation of how exactly this was expressed.
