This paper begins with a discussion about the contemporary spread of disinformation on digital platforms. We suggest that conspiratorial discourses are employed by conservative populism to explain moral changes in modern societies, producing a particular type of social criticism. To test this hypothesis, the paper analyzes antifeminist videos from the producer Brasil Paralelo on Youtube.
