All the hysteria about "misinformation" and scapegoating QAnon losers has completely obfuscated what's really going on with the rise in popularity of conspiracy theories. Michał Rams-Ługowski visits Theory Underground for an interview from Dave on the topic of What Liberals Don't Understand About Conspiracy Theories.

"Fully as striking on another level is the omnipresence of the theme of paranoia as it expresses itself in a seemingly inexhaustible production of conspiracy plots of the most elaborate kinds. Conspiracy, one is tempted to say, is the poor person's cognitive mapping in the postmodern age; it is the degraded figure of the total logic of late capital, a desperate attempt to represent the latter's system, whose failure is marked by its slippage into sheer theme and content.”
Fredric Jameson, Cognitive Mapping (1988)
