This is the thing you say here. What awakened in 2020 were the sleeping values of a century before.

0:37.0

The Conspirituality explosion was in part a story of bad historical ideas bursting out of their hidey holes in the gentrified yoga studios of the global north.

0:45.0

So this is something that actually we were talking about a moment ago about RFK and all of the sort of tweet thread that he popped up the other day.

0:55.0

And the way that these sort of conspiracy theories all sort of work under the same, they're sort of very simple sort of categories and the language is predictable.

1:06.0

So the reason why is because as you say in here, these things all grow out of protocols the elders of Zion and stuff like I hate to even like...
