Their opposition: low traffic neighbourhoods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demonstrations like these are not few in number. As the amount of cities implementing improvements in public transport and greener travel alternatives increases, so too does the disinformation around them. The Misinformation Cell has been documenting the rise in adversarial narratives, and it has also been developing the keys to fighting back.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, our Head of The Misinformation Cell, Stefan Rollnick, lists his five lessons learnt from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-oxfordshire-64689171\">most recent<\/a> anti-Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) protests in Oxford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Legitimate concerns are inflamed by conspiracy theorists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, as with all the best disinformation and conspiracy theories, disinformation does contain kernels of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transition to a greener future requires all of us to embrace change; whether from new lifestyles or new modes of transport. Whilst huge amounts of opportunity and potential lie in this new future, change is never easy. When it comes to something as personal as how we travel to work, how we see family and friends, how we explore and adventure, backlash is inevitable. In many cultures, cars don\u2019t just represent transport, they represent freedom, autonomy and identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all understandable and legitimate concerns. They are, essentially, part of people\u2019s core values. Values which are challenged by lifestyle-impacting campaigns such as emissions zone policies and Oxford\u2019s LTN zones. Having your lifestyle disrupted makes you more vulnerable to disinformation. Which is precisely what conspiracy theorists prey on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people feel very little personal responsibility for the climate crisis. Conspiracy theorists know this and thus target the concerns about disruption of lifestyles with, as they see it, little personal gain. Directly responding to every talking point is unwise; nevertheless, it is important to have answers to these legitimate concerns. In essence, to meet people where they are before trying to bring them with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>As communicators, there are limits to what we can control<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxford\u2019s protests confirmed what many of us already know about climate action: sizable shifts result in backlash of equal and greater proportions. People become anxious and, understandably, search for new (and untrue ) explanations for the change; explanations which align with their worldview. This procrastination only helps to avoid confronting the scale of the change that lies ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this regard, Oxfordshire County Council didn\u2019t do anything specifically wrong to trigger such a response. Over time, Oxford has felt the heat of the disinformation war over traffic changes as a result of many conflating, spontaneous factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge now is in the how. How can Oxford \u2013 and other council\u2019s across the country \u2013 prevent these disinformation forces from further harming the transformational change it seeks to implement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conspiracy theorists might be confusing 15 minute cities with Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, but their real message is simply about autonomy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Autonomy is so often at the heart of disinformation messaging. During the pandemic, the message of governments, the World Health Organisation and Bill Gates stealing autonomy was spread far and wide.Then, as the torrent of COVID-19 news slowed to a trickle, the key question was <em>what would conspiracy theorists move on to next?<\/em> It appears as though one of the key topics they\u2019ve moved onto is personal car use. Within these theories, the evil elites \u2013 as claimed by them \u2013 can include everyone and everything; from local politicians to \u2018globalist\u2019 puppet masters such as the World Economic Forum and World Bank.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s revealing in the case of Oxford is that the Low Traffic Neighbourhood infrastructure and protestors&#8217; complaints are two different things. The protestors are predominantly complaining about \u201815 minute cities\u2019. This policy idea isn\u2019t new, and simply aims to ensure that everyone has what they need to live, work and enjoy life within 15 minutes of where they live, thus reducing car dependency. Oxford\u2019s LTN infrastructure, however, is set up to manage and reduce traffic flow through the city. Clearly, the protestors have been misinformed somewhere along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps this conflation isn\u2019t a mistake. Conspiracy theorists may believe that the only way to effectively attack 15 minute cities \u2013 a policy about increasing freedom \u2013 is to conflate it with more restrictive policies (like traffic reduction) which they\u2019re hoping are less popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conspiracy theories are fluid, meaning we cannot know what will happen next<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The agility of conspiracy theorists to move from COVID-19, to Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, to antisemitic conspiracy theories about \u2018globalists\u2019, is built on the \u2018story\u2019 behind conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These stories are about competition of resources and power between \u2018ingroups\u2019 and \u2018outgroups\u2019.These all take place on the backdrop of a secret cabal of \u2018elites\u2019 pulling the strings behind the scenes. Ingroups and outgroups are, in many ways, primal concepts: our ingroup is the people in our \u2018tribe\u2019 who look and sound like us, and the \u2018outgroup\u2019 can be anyone outside our \u2018tribe\u2019 who can be considered a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some partial but practical examples of what this looks like in concrete terms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Conspiracy theory<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Competition<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Ingroup<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Example outgroup<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Example elites<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">COVID-19&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Money, personal health<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u201cNormal\u201d people<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Scientists<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pharmaceutical companies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Male supremacy<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Gender dominance<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Cisgender men<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Women, LGBTQ+ community<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Leftwing political elites<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">White supremacy<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Racial power\/influence<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">White people<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">People of colour<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Jewish globalists<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>15 minute cities<\/em><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Autonomy, freedom of movement, political power<\/em><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Car users<\/em><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Climate campaigners<\/em><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>World Economic Forum<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The shared narrative structure of these conspiracy theories is what makes them so fluid. It\u2019s why climate journalist Dave Vetter at the recent Oxford protest <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidrvetter\/status\/1626962580190248961\">reported<\/a> that the Jewish Rothschilds family controls world governments\u2026 and \u201cAshkenazi Jews aren\u2019t like us\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fluidity is also exemplified by how anti-vaccine groups have pivoted their focus from vaccine passports to Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those driving climate action campaigns or social justice work, the key question is how might these narratives be imprinted onto your work? Because if they can be, they will be adapted to your context sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conspiracy theories increase in danger rapidly following penetration of mainstream politics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crucial fact-based understanding of green policies is in serious danger of disruption by mainstream conspiracy theories.In the context of 15 minute cities culture wars, Nick Fletcher MP, Conservative member of parliament for Don Valley, added a new twist the moment he stood up in parliament this month to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7029775211969302528\/\">decry<\/a> them as an \u201cinternational socialist\u201d policy. He repeated a conspiracy theorist narrative which has been doing the rounds on fringe platforms like Telegram for some months now. For the wider public, hearing these talking points espoused by a sitting MP adds a great deal of authority and authenticity to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>So what should communicators be doing today?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Know your vulnerabilities. This means knowing where your work is vulnerable to disinformation, and knowing how and why your audience might be vulnerable to that disinformation. Only then, can we start to address these vulnerabilities proactively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And proactivity is essential otherwise, by the time disinformation takes hold, it can be too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>You can read more misinformation insights <a href=\"https:\/\/lynn.global\/welcome-to-the-misinformation-cell\/\">here<\/a>.
