memevolve

Memevolve(verb): /mi mvɒlv/ "Meem" "Vol" as in "volve"

The process by which a meme transforms into a conspiracy theory that is perceived as true by certain individuals or groups, despite the absence of objective evidence or factual basis. This transformation occurs through the propagation and reinforcement of the meme within an echo chamber of like-minded individuals who share a particular worldview or ideology.

As the meme continues to circulate and gain momentum, it gradually mutates into a distorted version of reality, with proponents of the conspiracy theory interpreting any evidence or events as confirming their preconceived beliefs.

Memevolve in this context highlights the power of memes to shape and influence collective perceptions and beliefs, even in the absence of verifiable truth or empirical evidence.
