Discordianism and Surrealist Techniques in Conspiracy Art
After 1968, the conspiracy landscape shifted toward "comedic performance art" through the influence of Discordianism and figures like Robert Anton Wilson. This movement utilized surrealist techniques, such as the "cut-up" method and induced paranoia, to bypass the conscious mind. Stanley Kubrick’s film Dr. Strangelove is cited as a deliberate deconstruction of John Birch Society rhetoric, specifically targeting their obsessions with water fluoridation.
