The conspirators live in a vacuum, in a toxic bubble that feeds itself. They come from all walks of life, have different backgrounds, but display the same distrust of society, of a system they consider dangerous. Their insatiable need to simply explain complex facts, their dismay in the face of a world in crisis, pushes them into the nets of successful disinformation entrepreneurs.
Little soldiers of the conspiracy, convinced of serving a just cause, they saw their ranks swell during the Yellow Vests crisis, then explode during the COVID pandemic. Never short of a fight, they are now bouncing back on the war in Ukraine. They see themselves as knights of a new world, surfing on the most fanciful theories, evolving above all in the virtual sphere, but they are people in the flesh, most often confused, in search of meaning. For more than a year, Anthony Mansuy went to meet them to try to understand them. The result is an investigative book as fascinating as it is disturbing “the dissidents”. Décryptage invites you today to follow him in the conspiratorial bubble with Anthony Mansuy, journalist at Society and author of “Les dissidents” Robert Laffont edition
