Conspiritualists amp up their victimhood-fetish by comparing anti-vaxxers to Jim Crow-era African Americans and Jews under the Holocaust. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson questions vaccines, bangs the CRT red-scare propaganda drum, and swoons over Hungarian fascist Viktor Orban.ulian compares Fox News’s idealizing coverage of Orban to how they treat another famous Hungarian, boogeyman of the far-right, George Soros. He also tells the tragic tale of Trofim Lysenko—Stalin’s “barefoot scientist,” to illustrate how pseudoscience actually flourishes (to everyone’s detriment) under real totalitarianism.Show NotesThe Soviet Era’s Deadliest Scientist Is Regaining Popularity in RussiaUnder fascism, a generation of scientific knowledge was lost in SpainHungarian scientists are on edge as country is poised to force out top universitySay it with statues: Brick-and-mortar revisionism in Orban’s HungaryOrban shocks the world again: He admits to being a Nazi pilot, calling him a knight and a hero -- -- --Support us on PatreonPre-order Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat: America | Canada Follow us on Instagram | Twitter: Derek | Matthew | JulianOriginal music by EarthRise SoundSystem Learn more about your ad choices.
