Episode 239: Transmaxxing

Down the rabbithole of a right wing panic, inside joke, and image board meme turned bizarre community. "Transmaxxing", on the surface, is the idea that young men (mostly involuntarily celibate or "incels") are becoming trans women to increase their odds of getting laid. In right wing media, the concept is being covered as a serious movement so as to fuel harmful transphobic narratives and erode civil protections for trans people. But is it actually a thing? And who came up with "transmaxxing"? L...

There’s a lot going on in Arizona. Elections directors are quitting due to harassment. A lawmaker named a committee after a QAnon slogan.

And of course Arizona is the home of Kari Lake,...

Episode 237: The QAnon Queen of Canada Comes To Town feat. Mack Lamoureux

QAnon is the source of many bizarre tales in the real world. But few are more bizarre than the tale of Romana Didulo, a Filipino-Canadian woman who claims to be the Queen of Canada. Since her appearance in 2020, Didulo has convinced many people that she is the monarch of Canada and also an alien. And that further, she is leading the fight against the worldwide cabal.

In the ‘00s there were three big Conspiracy theory movies on the internet: the 9/11 conspiracy theory film Loose Change, the multi-conspiracy film Zeitgeist, and the illuminati and conspirituality film Esoteric Agenda.

Episode 234: Jacob Chansley, America’s Shaman

We spoke with the most visible J6er — known colloquially as the “QAnon Shaman”. He was distinct from the rest of the rioters thanks to his horned headdress, painted face, booming voice, extensive tattoos, and spear. Before he became world famous he participated in QAnon events, which made him an occasional feature of this show. On May 25th, Chansley was released after serving time in federal prison and a halfway house for the crime of obstructing an official proceeding. On today’s episode, we’re...

Episode 232: Durham Deactivated

The second to last Q drop of 2020 consisted of just one word: “Durham.” This referred to Special Counsel John Durham, who was tasked with investigating the origins of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI investigation into possible Trump Russia links.

Episode 231: Conservapedia

Sometimes it feels like the online world is split into multiple, incompatible perceptions of reality. This is not a new development. In fact, in the mid-aughts one man tried to create an isolated island of American christian conservative thinking by launching a website called Conservapedia. Though it was advertised as being free from the supposed liberal bias of Wikipedia, Conservapedia became a home of pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and general right-wing grievances. It even launched a pro...

Episode 230: Gamergate For Moms feat David Gilbert

What happens when you combine gamergate and yelling at local elected officials? You get something akin to Moms For Liberty. The nonprofit bills itself as a parental rights organization and grew to hundreds of chapters over the past three years.

That’s the story of a 33-year-old man named Douglass Mackey, who operated a few Twitter accounts under the name Rickey Vaughn. Using these accounts he spread Pizzagate lies, racist tropes, and also messages deliberately designed to mislead people in...
