Conspiracism
A distinct narrative form of scapegoating, that uses demonization to justify constructing
the scapegoats as wholly evil;
while reconstructing the scapegoater
as a hero.
Sees secret plots by tiny cabals of
evildoers
as the major motor
powering important historical events.
Often employs common
fallacies of logic in analyzing factual evidence
to assert connections,
causality, and intent that are nonexistent.
