The harm of QAnon goes beyond the extremist violence it has inspired. It’s also socially corrosive in ways that are normally invisible. Relationships between siblings, spouses, friends, and parents and children are frequently strained when someone falls too deep down the rabbit hole.
The nature of and consequences of this harm is powerfully illustrated in the new book The Quiet Damage: QAnon And The Destruction of the American Family by Jesselyn Cook.

Biden out, Harris in. Conspiracy theories metastasize as the democratic candidate (and current President) calls it quits and coronates his Vice President. The right spreads conspiracy theories about Joe Biden being dead and replaced by a body double or some form of AI. BlueAnon chimes in with some new theories now that "their guy" is out. And we explore what's next for election season with analyst & politics writer Josh (Ettingermentum).

This week we’re heading to a Brazilian hospital — more specifically, the bedside of former President Jair Bolsonaro — to bring you an exploration of the disgraced, grotesque and criminal Bolsonaro family. We’ll be learning how the melted Brazilian right wing emerged from a post-80s yearning for military dictatorship. How the police, criminal right-wing militias and politicians formed an unholy alliance. And how, unfortunately, this corrupt and violent blob led to the brutal murder of ...

Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to erase negative thoughts, win every argument, and close every sale? Travis and Brad take you through the sordid tale of a self-help movement that’s equal parts psychotherapy, entrepreneurial success tool, and mind-control technique. A movement that inspired the likes of Tony Robbins, NXIVM, the Landmark corporate cult, and even pick-up artistry. A modality used by IBM and McDonald’s, the U.S. Army and the CIA. A quasi-religion that was poised t...

Self-exiled French conspiracy theorists attempt to set up a sovereign utopia in a desolate Bulgarian village called Mamarchevo.

In 2012, rumors began to circulate through the Hollywood elite that a new screenplay surrounding the events of 9/11 was in the works. A committee of truthers entrenched in the entertainment industry were eager for the “real” story to be told, in the hopes that President Obama might see the film and open a new investigation into the tragic attacks.

Do you look back on the early 90s with a sense of fondness? In this episode, we hope to ruin that for you just a little bit. What if we told you that this time period was crucial in the development of American right wing populism and therefore crucial for the eventual election of Donald Trump and the rise of QAnon? Bet you’re a little less nostalgic for those slap bracelets now.

The QAnon community reacts to Donald Trump’s ongoing legal woes. And Jesse Watters continues to prove that he’s the most Q pilled of all the Fox News hosts.
