I think distrust in governments has already peaked, at least in Europe. The right conservatives have lost votes in the last elections. Also paradoxically Covid has proven conspiracy theorists wrong and further will since more anti-vaccination people will get seriously sick.
On the other hand disillusionment in governments will be greater especially from the progressives because of Climate Change. The latter will probably be pivotal and if both governments and economies fail to deliver, this will lead to disrupting changes in the way politics is done. In France there are already citizen councils since the Yellow vest protests (sparked by increased fuel taxes) and in Germany they are also being evaluated. I expect those to grow much stronger already in the upcoming year.
- chii 5y ago> proven conspiracy theorists wrong the problem with conspiracies is that they don't require proof for their world-views!
- blablabla123 5y agoThat's true, it's mostly a feeling. On the other hand if looking at Qanon for instance. There are established politicians who kind of support it. I don't think they actually believe there are reptile people below the ground. I would assume it's rather a generic criticism of how things are going.
