Normspiracy Theory
A term coined as the opposite of conspiracy theory, referring to the uncritical acceptance of official narratives as absolute, objective reality—often dismissing any questioning as “paranoid” or “delusional.” Normspiracy theory treats government press releases, mainstream media accounts, and institutional statements as self‑evident truth, immune to scrutiny. It enforces orthodoxy by pathologizing dissent, creating a social environment where challenging the official story is treated as a character flaw rather than an intellectual act.
Example: “When he asked why the official report conflicted with leaked documents, he was told he was ‘falling for conspiracy theories.’ Normspiracy theory: treating official accounts as beyond question.”
