Understanding the relationship between antisemitism,
conspiracism,
and
apocalypticism
by Chip Berlet, 2004
…to
the extent that extraordinary claims require extraordinary
investigations, those
investigations must
be true to the spirit of
science. And that means highly skeptical, demanding, rigorous standards
of evidence.
--Carl
Sagan

I certainly acknowledge that there have been conspiracies. They
simply don't
have the attributes of almost superhuman power and cunning that
conspiracists attribute to them
Brenda E. Brasher
...apocalypticism leaves no room for ambiguity...[it] is not a disagreement,
but a struggle
with evil incarnate, so there is no structure for a peaceful reconciliation
G. William Domhoff
Conspiracism is a disaster for progressive
people because it leads them into cynicism, convoluted thinking,
and a tendency to feel it is hopeless even
as they denounce the alleged conspirators
Mark Fenster
Don't fear populism, don't fear relatively simple
ways of understanding the causes behind prevalent political
issues, but don't embrace them without understanding their downside
risk
Robert Alan Goldberg
In a culture of conspiracism, opponents become traitors and enemies
are stripped of their humanity
Lee Quinby
Progressive thought falters under the weight of apocalyptic and
conspiratorial thinking
Penny Rosenwasser
Antisemitism has been historically used to divert attention from the
people who really make the decisions
Holly Sklar
When progressives grab onto conspiracy theories it undermines
effective strategic analysis, planning and action
