Why do people with perfectly good reasons to distrust governments sometimes end up distrusting the victim instead?
This week on News Weakly, Sami Shah starts with the strange hostility towards Malala Yousafzai in Pakistan, then follows the same logic through Gaza, Trump’s “alternative facts”, Flydubai false-flag conspiracies and the rise of One Nation.
What happens when justified scepticism turns into a worldview where disbelief itself feels intelligent — and every piece of evidence becomes a loyalty test?
