CHAPTER

Conspiracy Theories and the Rise of Far-Right Extremism

The chapter explores the role of conspiracy theories in shaping fascist ideologies, with a focus on extremist groups like the Proud Boys and their belief in secret cabals controlling the world.

The chapter also examines the connections between far-right political parties in Europe and Russia, the phenomenon of authoritarianism, and the anti-democratic approach of the Republican Party.
