Adrian Vermeule

Co-authored an infamous paper with Cass Sunstein on "Conspiracy Theories" which tried to link questioning governments' official narratives with violence, and suggested that "the best response [to "conspiracy theorists"] consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups".

In 2021 Mark Pulliam termed Adrian Vermeule & Sunstein "Leviathan’s Apologists", observing that "for its enthusiasts, the possible unconstitutionality of the administrative state doesn’t matter."[1]
