This article examines the power and dynamics of conspiracy narratives from a psychoanalytic perspective, using data gathered from social media, clinical material, interviews, and documentaries. The author analyzes the emergence and development of these narratives and their impact on individuals and society, using the narrative The Big Lie as a case study.
Using the narrative The Big Lie, which is placed in the socio-political context, and based on data gathered from social media, clinical material, interviews and documentaries, the author examines from a psychoanalytic perspective the effective power and dynamics of conspiracy narratives that create an alternative reality with conviction capsules, using lies and distortions of reality consciously employed as means of agitation on the breeding ground of unconscious relational and regression processes. To sketch the emergence and development of this willingness, the author combines the explanations of Wilfred Bion, Susan Isaacs and Herbert Rosenfeld and develops the hypothesis, including the concept of perverted containing, that due to unsuccessful containing processes in the earliest relationship experiences, defensively inflexible, sealed conviction capsules develop, permeated by fears of confusion and annihilation, by hatred as well as phantasies of powerlessness and superiority. Underlying these, experienced as existentially threatening, are panic about change and excessive identification with a hard, alleged omnipotent object, linked to an unconscious longing for symbiosis with a savior-a conglomerate that breeds susceptibility to conspiracy narratives and totalitarian, destructive populist leaders. As one example, the destructive-symbiotic relationship dynamic between Donald Trump and his supporters is outlined with the escalation of violence.
