  • Here are some properties of any conspiracy theory worth it’s name:

    • Closed Ideological Systems: They provide an all-encompassing explanation for various events or states, with everything fitting into their worldview.
    • Immunity to Facts: Any contrary evidence is dismissed as false or considered part of the conspiracy.
    • Enemy Construction: They tend to draw a clear line between “us” (those who “know the truth”) and “them” (the supposed conspirators).
    • Adaptability: Conspiracy narratives can change and incorporate new “evidence” or events to maintain their credibility.

    It matches for QAnon and the MAGA crowd as well as the lemmygrad crowd.









  • It’s focused on some ideal coastline that fits the argument well.

    In reality you will see storms that set underwater whole metropoles repeatedly, think like New Orleans a few years back, but on a yearly base.

    And when it comes to the really big metropoles in Asia, they don’t have much options to properly relocate millions of people at ones.

    The likes of Shapiro won’t welcome them in the USA, even if they promise to stay in the rural centers.
