The Glitterpill Podcast

About This Episode  In this episode, we open with a powerful read from Leslie Jamison, a writer who understands the tension between feeling deeply and carrying on. Her words remind us that vulnerability isn't weakness—it's part of how we survive. About The Glitterpill Community In the work we do—dissecting extremism, unraveling disinformation, and navigating heavy conversations—it's easy to feel like you're losing a piece of yourself. The burnout, the cynicism, the isolation—it all takes a toll. But this February, let's reclaim what makes us human. The Glitterpill Community is your refuge. Here, we believe that staying engaged doesn't mean losing your heart. Through creativity, joy, and intentional care, we help you sustain your passion without sacrificing your well-being. This month's theme? Not Losing Your Heart.

About This Episode In this insightful episode, Jen and I trace her father's complex journey through the rabbit hole pf conservative mass media and his eventual return. Guided by the profound insight that “we don't see things as they are, we see things as we are”, we utilize theories as lenses to interpret and understand new phenomena. We also discuss approaches proposed by Steve Hassan and Jim Stewartson, and how the complexities of radicalization and deradicalization might necessitate a broader spectrum of perspectives.  Instagram Twitter Watch Jen's Documentary!

Episode 6: Tackling Terrorism's Taboo: Shame and the Proud Boys    “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” It's been [ ] years since Jung wrote those words, and [ ] years since Dostoyevsky's shame and sin emerged in “Demons.”    What can the threat assessment community and analysts themselves learn from shame?    In this episode, I speak with Far Right analyst  Matt Kriner, on shame as a human universal, and it's role in the recruitment and radicalization process.  Glitterpill Theme Song Credits“Concentric Lines” by the Android TrioWritten by Andy NivenPerformed by andy Niven, Max Kutner, and Eric KlerksBUY THE TRACKhttps://androidtrio.bandcamp.com/track/concentric-lines TAKE THE GLITTERPILLhttps://www.patreon.com/taketheglitterpill OFFICE HOURS INFO: DM @taketheglitterpillTHE GLITTERPILL COMMUNITYhttps://proudboyswhisperer.com/glitterpill/ Take The Redpill Understanding the Allure of conspiratorial Thinking Among Proud Boyshttps://gjia.georgetown.edu/2020/09/07/take-the-redpill-understanding-the-allure-of-conspiratorial-thinking-among-proud-boys/ Skeptics in the Pub “Take the Redpill” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quPPOrYtBHY&t=832s Existential Kink   https://www.audible.com/pd/Existential-Kink-Audiobook/1094125016?source_code=GO1DH13310082090OM&ds_rl=1262685&ds_rl=1263561&ds_rl=1260658&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIweqG67md7wIVJAnnCh3lmwSREAAYASAAEgIdVPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   The Way We Never Were https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-We-Never-Were-Audiobook/1549175386?source_code=GO1DH13310082090OM&ds_rl=1262685&ds_rl=1263561&ds_rl=1260658&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9bO_gbqd7wIVoj6tBh3X3AeyEAAYASAAEgIzXPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   Lincoln's Melancholy & Male Friendships   https://www.audible.com/ep/title/?asin=B002V8LJ0Y&source_code=GO1GB12709141890JV&device=m&cvosrc=ppc.google.lincolns%20melancholy&cvo_campaign=1679154402&cvo_crid=336239688183&Matchtype=e&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjbTPnbqd7wIV_h-tBh2prAy5EAAYASAAEgLn2PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   Resources   Should Work is Shame Work https://www.rowancenterla.com/new-blog/2015/6/3/musterbation-the-danger-in-shoulding-all-over-the-place   The Jung Reader  https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19409052.2012.726405?journalCode=rijj20   Man Therapy   https://mantherapy.org

Research suggests that identity-based goals are great for ensuring long-term success.

On March 4th, Qanon adherents will flock to D.C. to support what they believe will be Trump's “true inauguration.” The March 4th date is a Sovereign Citizen conspiracy that dovetails with followers anticipation of “the storm.” Trump, on-brand, has increased the prices for his hotel stay for this date. In this episode journalist, OG Glitterpill member, & friend David Neiwert and I talk about how conspiracy theories operate, the harms they cause, the role journalists can play in reducing their circulation. We also discuss how a trans allegory in a popular 90's film mutated to a far right recruitment mechanism.

Join me as I discuss The Proud Boys and current terrorism legislation in Canada which targets them, with Dr. Caroline Orr and Jessica Davis.

On January 6th, Ashli Babbit, noted Qanon adherent, flew to DC. shot in the storming of The Capitol. People might be wondering how something as bizarre as Pizzagate has morphed into a large-scale security threat; a threat on the level of ethnic conflict seen in worn torn countries. I get to speak with Eric Brichetto, a software developer, and emerging disinformation researcher. We discuss the more insidious origins of the Qanon conspiracy theory and why it is so hard to dissuade certain parts of the American public from adopting these beliefs. *Correction In this episode, we claimed that Rastorguev's work was sponsored and approved by the public relations arm of the KGB. It was later discovered that he had the endorsement of the security committee of the state duma, the lower house of the federal assembly of Russia.

Figures like Candace Owens Ben Shapiro are routinely discussed in the news. We can talk about them and the anger they hope to evoke, but I feel there are more fruitful conversations to be had. As a Jewish female scholar who has interviewed Proud Boys of color, I got to have a different conversation with Dr. Robert L. Reece. In this first episode of the Glitterpill podcast, we talk about what Proud Boys of Color identify with when they identify with "The West" and the long term harms of this identification.
