The United Nations as a New World Government
This paper analyzes the historical genealogy of conspiracy theories about a global supergovernment by focusing on one period of American history in which it attained particular visibility. The formation of the United Nations in 1945 and the onset of the Cold War galvanized speculation on the political margins that a shadowy, malevolent international government was seeking world domination by targeting the United States and its political culture. …
Conspirituality
Derek Beres, Matthew Remski, and Julian Walker's book Conspirituality is a fascinating account of the historical and ideological overlaps between alternative health movements and the alt- and far-right that have resulted in a wave of antivaccination and wellness-related misinformation.

Conspirituality, the blending of New Age spiritual themes with conspiratorial thinking, has accelerated in recent years, leading to unexpected developments. Exploring this ideological convergence further highlights the central role of gender in conspiracy th…
The intensifying effects of polarised populisms

By identifying a ‘people’ and an ‘elite’, populist political actors encourage a dichotomy between self and other; further, placing political opponents outside the lines of normative national identity promotes a praxis discouraging compromise and indicting those who seek to understand the other. At the same time, populists come to prominence during times of grievance. The simplified dis…
