A question of philosophical paralogy, a case of hermeneutics, or a case of dialectical techniques?

Whenever we are faced with a collective paranoia and speculations start to become disruptive to public order - not by plausible arguments much less logical arguments -, new ideas that do not submit to scientific research techniques, nor to scientific methodology, end up devaluing all the work of formalizing the hypotheses submitted to the boards formally constituted by people of renowned and recognized academic intellectual competence by a reputable institution, then what we see is that the lack of scientific and institutional credibility is replaced by the giant fuss that gives a false credibility simply because of the ever-increasing number of people joining, simply because the uproar in the population grows, no matter how strange and grotesque the claim may be.

So, after a long time, the number of people and the time that paranoia lasts gives credibility and becomes the main argument supporting paranoia, and the absurd begins to be naturalized until it is no longer ridiculed or treated as a simple aberration.

So people lose shame and fear of exposing themselves to defend the indefensible without having to present any proof other than the fact that it's been a long time and a lot of people have already believed it.

Things like the claim that the earth is flat, or that they've never been to the moon, or that the Nazi holocaust of Jews never happened, or that the holodomor in Ukraine is a legend, people who are accused without any proof in their public life. , without any material document based solely on witnesses from which credibility is not even claimed, do not undergo a psychological screening or an investigation of slanderous practice, usually people who think of a material reward in the form of compensation through the harassment and blackmail; It is not by chance that the people accused of levity, misuse of purpose, theft and sexual abuse are very rich or famous people, always celebrities, and this does not even serve as a reason to diminish the strength of the accusations without evidence.

Thus, religions and political practices are reproduced only with the authority granted by antiquity, the older the more unquestionable, after all, you cannot deceive so many people at the same time for a long time, unless you are accused of defamation. , slander and injury, these have a life of their own and are self-demonstrating and self-justifying, after all they spend their whole lives asking the accused of these crimes and if the answer is never committed them these questions will certainly be repeated indefinitely, but if by chance the accused admit it even if it's not true and even in the absence of evidence surely no one will ever need to ask the accusing questions again. Why? Just admit the alleged crime and no one will ask you anymore. however, in the negative of the accusation they will always ask you the same accusation until your answer changes.

To the eternal suspects without judicial proof:
