  abstract     = {{Many regard conspiracy theorists’ and populists’ struggle against ‘the ruling<br/>elite’ as threatening Western liberal democracy. Sometimes this threat is<br/>described in apocalyptic images, mirroring the apocalyptic tone in many<br/>conspiracy theories and in much populist rhetoric. In this paper, I propound<br/>considering a framework for a critical dialogue about conspiracy theories<br/>and populism based on the understanding that trust is a fundamental cate -<br/>gory, that belonging is of central importance to all of us when we accept cer -<br/>tain discourses as more reliable than others, and finally that there are very<br/>basic questions concerning human control and the place of agency to be<br/>addressed.}},
