This research note explores how global conspiracy theories contribute to the formation of fascistic representations of social reality. Instead of dismissing fascist worldviews as merely irrational or pathological, I focus on how their nonsensical form actively generates meaning. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of sense developed in The Logic of Sense, I show that nonsense is not the absence of meaning but a creative and productive force that reshapes how the world is understood. I further argue that nonsense-objects—such as global cabals, hidden elites, and racialized enemies—function as quasi-causes: incorporeal forces that reorganize perception, affect, and political behavior. In this light, conspiratorial imaginaries should not be seen simply as products of epistemic breakdown or legitimacy deficits, but as engines for inventing new forms of meaning, identity, and political attachment.
