I'm not trolling, I'm pointing out that ascribing societal trends (which may or may not exist) to some hidden guiding hand through phrases like "falling into line" is suggestive of a conspiracy, i.e. a conspiracy theory. The phrase "conspiracy theory" has negative connotations I think because these theories are everywhere now, and so many are groundless variations of the same tropes.
As for "cognitive deplatforming", making a judgement on how seriously to take a piece of writing based on the author's other writing seems reasonable to me. When I look at that Twitter account I see the same tired old tropes about the WEF, covid conspiracy, government thought control etc etc, poorly written with nothing insightful or original. So I come to the same conclusion as another commenter: supremely ignorable.
