Summary

Matt Christman joins us to discuss the relationship between conspiracy theories and political movements on the left. We also try to answer the question: is QAnon a far-right extremist movement? Travis has read J.M. Berger's "Extremism" and attempts to apply its principles to QAnon. Gay frogs, Operation Midnight Climax and Jake's allergies — we give them all equal attention in this flat media landscape. patreon.com/qanonanonymous We refuse corporate advertising.
