A critical framework focusing specifically on how the demand for, production of, and interpretation of evidence is manipulated to control narratives and populations. It examines how “evidence” is selectively demanded from marginalized groups while dominant groups are exempted, how evidence thresholds are set impossibly high for dissenters, and how “evidence‑based” rhetoric is used to foreclose debate. Evidence Control Theory reveals that control over what counts as evidence is control over what counts as reality.
Example: “Evidence Control Theory explained why victims of corporate harm had to produce ‘irrefutable proof’ while corporations could release ‘preliminary findings’ as fact—the evidentiary burden was asymmetrical.”
