Studying the Black Pill feat Elle Reeve (E285)
Added 2024-07-05 21:53:04 +0000 UTCWe explore how disaffected young men anonymously posting memes online led to real-life violence including multiple mass murders, the forming of what came to be known as the alt-right movement, a seismic shift in the Republican party, and the January 6th, 2021 storming of the capitol. Joining us for this very special episode is Elle Reeve, correspondent for CNN and author of the new book Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society and Capture American Politics.

2024-07-15 14:16:05 +0000 UTCSo serious question about the irony question. I feel like there's a social theorist who discusses this maybe postmodernist. I thought it was maybe Lyotard. Try as I might I can't seem to find the reference... Anyway that caught my ear. Fantastic episode. Thanks for the work you do.
