Facts are alternative. Truth is meaningful only when seen through the lens of ideology. And many Americans believe the anonymous Q’s internet conspiracy about Satan worshipers who run a child sex ring while controlling the country.
In this world, some of your neighbors embrace the QAnon conspiracy. Facts cease to matter. Truth dies. And both – facts and truth – become functionally little better than the conspiracy that supplanted them.
The answer? A new conspiracy.
Here goes.
I read about it on the dark web, in a post by a nameless luminary who goes by “B.”
B says things that actually exist, and for which there is incontrovertible evidence, are facts.
Shocking, I know. Trust B.
B says information that’s widely acknowledged, rooted in reason and tested across time may be regarded as truth.
Steady there! Trust B.
B says fanciful and wacky conspiracies that assume the connivance of thousands and for which there is no evidence aren’t rooted in facts and haven’t risen to the level of truth. B says they are false.
Trust B. Join the movement. We are BAwake.
