Summary

This week we explore the history of 4chan & 8chan, their connection to radicalization and to the QAnon community at large and how the chans have been used as a platform for the white nationalist and neo-nazi movements. We then interview James Brower AKA Dreamcatcher about his claims that he authored the first few Q drops with a small group of others. We also discuss his history of being a MAGA troll and working for the Trump campaign. Finally, Jake examines the right wing claim that "the left can't meme" by using his fine scientific pedigree.
