Conspiracy Theorists - Claus Larsen - English Book

Beskrivelse

Types - Steps - Terror.

Why do people become conspiracy theorists? Why are conspiracy theorists so frustrating to talk to? Why do conspiracy theorists exhibit so extreme behavior? These questions will be answered in this book as well as the reasons why the prevailing initiatives are ineffective.

It is a false assumption that there is only one type of conspiracy theorist and that he is receptive to common sense, dialogue, evidence, and that he is generally prepared to participate in an open, democratic society on equal footing with everyone else. Nothing points to the fact that conspiracy theorists in general can be influenced.

The authors argue that there are three types instead of one: The Novice, the Preacher, and the Warrior. Each type exhibits different behavior and responds differently when approached by commonly accepted methods. The authors present a structured approach for these groups of citizens, such as two simple five-step models for analysis and handling of the methods of the conspiracy theorists. The models can be applied by everyone and also work outside the world of conspiracy theorists.
