I dunno, Anti vaxxers are definitely going against power. (Not to mean they are correct) I think call conflating 'white saviour tourism's with this phenomena is missing the point. We live in an age where basic trust in authority has eroded. The erosion is perfectly rational. We've seen large corporations manipulate the media in crazy Orwellian language. We've become accustomed to PR stooges going on media outlets and blurbing new speak and falsey truths . This in tune with weaponizing of almost all form of discours, meaning we are almost always at a debate where our goal is to annihilate the other person ability to convince, rather than find common grounds. Have left us totally detached from truth. Not in a sense of total objective truth, but in the sense of common ground for discourse even though we don't agree on everything. Anti vaxxers , anti 5g, flat earthers, regardless of the validity of their claim, are a symptom of this. 1. We can't blame them for not trusting authority, when authority is found lying again and again. 2. They formed a social construct where common ground , i.e. truth, finally exists. I believe this is an epistemological crisis. Not just virtue signaling, or a weird form of entertainment
