The Earth is flat, the World Trade Center collapse was a controlled
demolition, planes are spraying poison to control the weather, and
actors faked the Sandy Hook massacre.... All these claims are bunk:
falsehoods, mistakes, and in some cases, outright lies. But many
people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy
theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded
online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on
occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and
how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break
free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? In Escaping
the Rabbit Hole, author Mick West shares over a decade's worth of
knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false
conspiracy theories through his forum, MetaBunk.org, and sets forth
a practical guide to helping friends and loved ones recognize these
theories for what they really are. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the
most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit
hole aren't comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong;
rather, West's tried-and-tested approach emphasizes clear
communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and
patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to
the test with four of the most popular false conspiracy theories
today (Chemtrails, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, False Flags, and
Flat Earth) - providing road maps to help you to understand your
friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied
by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able
to break free from conspiracism. With sections on: the wide
spectrum of conspiracy theories avoiding the "shill" label
psychological factors and other complications (and concluding with)
a look at the future of debunking Mick West has put forth a
conclusive, well-researched, practical reference on why people fall
down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and how you can help them
escape.
