This is an actual new initiative in Germany. The 'Counseling Compass Conspiracy-Thinking'. It's a website and counseling call center for people who feel like they are victims of conspiracy theories in their family or friendship circles. It's funded by the German Ministry of Interior and Ministry for Family Affairs.
Quotes from the website:
- Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser: "Conspiracy narratives go hand in hand with lies and disinformation. They are deliberately spread in order to divide our society and destroy trust in independent science, free media and democratic institutions. Conspiracy narratives can lead to extremist ideologies and drive perpetrators to criminal and violent acts. Anti-Semitic conspiracy narratives are spread particularly often.
In most cases, people in the immediate environment within the family, circle of friends or at school are the first to notice when conspiracy narratives are spread. An open dialog at eye level often seems impossible because the other person is not open to arguments. The establishment of the nationwide advice center is therefore an important building block in the holistic fight against extremism and disinformation."
- "The project has been running since March 2024 as part of the federal "Live Democracy!" programme and is being carried out by the Violence Prevention Network, the Amadeu Antonio Foundation and modus - Centre for Applied Deradicalization Research."
