Episode 22: Secrets Of The Illuminati w/ Tanz
Added 2018-09-27 10:00:02 +0000 UTCIn this very conspiratorial episode, the crew is joined by Tanz, writer, researcher, and PhD candidate in the CUNY Grad Center's social psychology program, to talk about a pamphlet she co-authored, "How to Overthrow the Illuminati."
Alex Jones, David Icke, 9/11 truthers, and the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories. The flat earth people make tankies of us all. Why do working class people believe in the Illuminati and other conspiracy theories? Gothic Marxism gets an extraterrestrial update. How to help people figure out the real problem is (spoiler alert!) capitalism without being an alienating weirdo about it.
We were going to discuss an article on structural anti-Semitism by Moishe Postone, but we ran out of time. Read it here, and/or demand Sean give you the Cliff's notes version in the next History is a Weapon.
Outro music - Zounds - Demystification
