I read DoppelgĂ€nger by Naomi Klein earlier this year. She proposes that conspiracy theorist right-wingers feelings that the system has failed them has some merit, but that theyâve completely misunderstood who that is. Itâs not vaccine scientists or diverse communities. Itâs social media magnates, exploitative capitalism and corrupt politics. I guess when youâre full of prejudice you have to do lots of mental gymnastics to make your world view fit your bigotry.
