About this leqture:
The elections were rigged. The ’Deep State’ governs us all. Qanon is real. Coronavirus is fake. Beware of chemtrails. Conspiracy theories are a widespread phenomenon. Multiple 5G masts have gone up in flames in the UK in the past year. These communication towers had to burn because they stand accused, along with China, of spreading coronavirus. It's not clear how the arsonists have figured this out. But in the age of conspiracy theories, the corona virus is flaming new conspiracy theories all over the world through social media. Why do so many people believe in conspiracies? And why are certain people more likely to believe in conspiracy theories than others. In this interactive session you can learn all about conspiracy theories from the renowned expert, followed by a Q&A.
Over deze leqture:
In het VK zijn de afgelopen twee maanden 77 5G-masten in vlammen opgegaan. De afgelopen maanden meer dan 20 brandstichtingen op Nederlandse 5G masten. Deze communicatietorens moesten branden omdat ze, samen met China, ervan worden beschuldigd het coronavirus te verspreiden. Het is niet duidelijk hoe de brandstichters dit hebben uitgezocht. Maar in het tijdperk van samenzweringstheorieën vuurt het coronavirus via sociale media overal ter wereld nieuwe samenzweringstheorieën aan. Waarom geloven zoveel mensen in samenzweringen? En waarom geloven bepaalde mensen eerder in complottheorieën dan andere. Leer alles over complottheorieën van deze gerenommeerde expert. Gevolgd door een Q&A.
