I disagree strongly with this descriptor. It is not a delusion. It is a classic example of a weaponized, anti-Semitic conspiracy theory of the types circulated by Stalin and Hitler to offer themselves and others permission to act on hideous impulses

It's not something people are just stumbling into, is what I mean. It's not something that they're just falling for. It's a weapons-grade tool of war, inflicted deliberately on the public in order to incite ultraviolence to bring about specific political outcomes.
And it's getting relentlessly pushed at people identified as being open to such messaging on Facebook using data gleaned, gathered, sold, given away, and misused by Facebook as they leaned into "fact-checking partnerships" to distract the public from their true plans.
I shouldn't let Google or Twitter off the hook either. YouTube is a radicalization machine -- took me two clicks to get to Nazi content when I was looking for videos on how to braid my hair. But I have the most experience with Facebook and their antics are the most egregious
It's always such a relief to find out I'm not the only person saying shit like this
