About This Episode In this insightful episode, Jen and I trace her father's complex journey through the rabbit hole pf conservative mass media and his eventual return. Guided by the profound insight that “we don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are”, we utilize theories as lenses to interpret and understand new phenomena. We also discuss approaches proposed by Steve Hassan and Jim Stewartson, and how the complexities of radicalization and deradicalization might necessitate a broader spectrum of perspectives.  Instagram Twitter Watch Jen's Documentary!

Episode 6: Tackling Terrorism’s Taboo: Shame and the Proud Boys    “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” It’s been [ ] years since Jung wrote those words, and [ ] years since Dostoyevsky’s shame and sin emerged in “Demons.”    What can the threat assessment community and analysts themselves learn from shame?    In this episode, I speak with Far Right analyst  Matt Kriner, on shame as a human universal, and it’s role in the recruitment and radicalization process.  Glitterpill Theme Song Credits“Concentric Lines” by the Android TrioWritten by Andy NivenPerformed by andy Niven, Max Kutner, and Eric KlerksBUY THE TRACKhttps://androidtrio.bandcamp.com/track/concentric-lines TAKE THE GLITTERPILLhttps://www.patreon.com/taketheglitterpill OFFICE HOURS INFO: DM @taketheglitterpillTHE GLITTERPILL COMMUNITYhttps://proudboyswhisperer.com/glitterpill/ Take The Redpill Understanding the Allure of conspiratorial Thinking Among Proud Boyshttps://gjia.georgetown.edu/2020/09/07/take-the-redpill-understanding-the-allure-of-conspiratorial-thinking-among-proud-boys/ Skeptics in the Pub “Take the Redpill” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quPPOrYtBHY&t=832s Existential Kink   https://www.audible.com/pd/Existential-Kink-Audiobook/1094125016?source_code=GO1DH13310082090OM&ds_rl=1262685&ds_rl=1263561&ds_rl=1260658&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIweqG67md7wIVJAnnCh3lmwSREAAYASAAEgIdVPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   The Way We Never Were https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-We-Never-Were-Audiobook/1549175386?source_code=GO1DH13310082090OM&ds_rl=1262685&ds_rl=1263561&ds_rl=1260658&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9bO_gbqd7wIVoj6tBh3X3AeyEAAYASAAEgIzXPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   Lincoln’s Melancholy & Male Friendships   https://www.audible.com/ep/title/?asin=B002V8LJ0Y&source_code=GO1GB12709141890JV&device=m&cvosrc=ppc.google.lincolns%20melancholy&cvo_campaign=1679154402&cvo_crid=336239688183&Matchtype=e&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjbTPnbqd7wIV_h-tBh2prAy5EAAYASAAEgLn2PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   Resources   Should Work is Shame Work https://www.rowancenterla.com/new-blog/2015/6/3/musterbation-the-danger-in-shoulding-all-over-the-place   The Jung Reader  https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19409052.2012.726405?journalCode=rijj20   Man Therapy   https://mantherapy.org

On March 4th, Qanon adherents will flock to D.C. to support what they believe will be Trump’s “true inauguration.” The March 4th date is a Sovereign Citizen conspiracy that dovetails with followers anticipation of “the storm.” Trump, on-brand, has increased the prices for his hotel stay for this date. In this episode journalist, OG Glitterpill member, & friend David Neiwert and I talk about how conspiracy theories operate, the harms they cause, the role journalists can play in reducing their circulation. We also discuss how a trans allegory in a popular 90’s film mutated to a far right recruitment mechanism.
