Brazil's Telegram Chats: Conspiracies About NWO, Globalism, and QAnon on the Rise

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazilian users on Telegram have been diving into conspiracies about the New World Order (NWO), Globalism, and QAnon. A recent study explored how these communities form and discuss these ideas. The findings showed that NWO and Globalism act as the core beliefs, keeping these theories together. QAnon serves as a link, connecting NWO and Globalism. During crises, there's a surge in talks about NWO, indicating a lack of trust in institutions.

These theories attract people who also believe in other conspiracies, like the anti-vaccine movement. To make NWO seem more real, religious stories are often woven in, which helps in keeping the group tight-knit. The study highlighted how these conspiracy theories can draw people in during uncertain times, making them feel part of something bigger.
