Scientifically speaking, what can we do to stand up against conspiracies, disinformation, and poltards? These ideologies are unscientific and they are detrimental to public discourse, as you can probably tell by all the trolls here on sci. It seems like behavioral economics and network science might have a lot of useful insights.

These right-wing extremists have been a growing presence in social media, pop culture, and politics for several years, but things don't seem to be slowing down. There is a growing culture of distrust and disinformation, and far-right groups are becoming increasingly present online, in pop culture, and in everyday life. They are exploiting fear and political instability to promote their extremist ideology, and nobody is taking it seriously, whether it's on social media, or the public square. This is a growing problem, and things are going to keep escalating, until we as a country and a civilization come to terms with white nationalism and far-right extremism. These ideologies are not just relics of the past. Fascism is alive and well today, albeit with a different face and different name.
