Definition
The state, practice, or ideology of being a crank or holding crank-like beliefs.
Etymology
From crank + -ism (suffix creating nouns for systems of belief or practice, as in Buddhism or socialism). Treats crankiness as a systematic philosophy or worldview.
Kelly Says
Crankism in internet culture is now studied by linguists—conspiracy theorists and true believers operate with a genuine epistemic style, convinced they've seen patterns everyone else missed.
