Description

On Election night, Mikki Willis, JP Sears, Del Bigtree, and the conspirituality glitterati gathered in Austin for a prayer meeting for Donald Trump. Willis pitched his new documentary and complained about Marxist professors pied-pipering children towards BLM before a new-age preacher sold allotments in a new alt-health ranch community in Texas. Derek covers this ultimate reveal of the conspirituality grift: predict the apocalypse, then sell off-grid cribs on a five-acre manmade lagoon. Fill the swamp, indeed.Meanwhile, Julian covers the election of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn, QAnon arrests in Philly, and the shitstorm of irate comments against YogaGirl as she stands up for decency.The election over, our critical work continues. How do we keep it on target? How do we make sure that we don’t become so cynical—or so attached to the process of criticism itself—that we can’t find solidarity? And how do we look for solutions while enthralled by social media, as opposed to being invested in society?Last week, our guest Tada Hozumi spoke about “clean blows” in politics and justice work, arguing that dignity and nobility in conflict depend on good faith and better will. As we survey the bloody post-election landscape (especially in progressive and wellness spaces), we have to dig in, especially if we’re going to enter the conversation over situations like The Embodiment Conference.Our guests this week are Clementine Morrigan and Jay from Fucking Cancelled. Matthew will be asking them about the work that the digital Left can do to foster solidarity, loyalty, and freedom. It’s an important conversation because we have to assume that some of the redpilled were already being pushed out the door. Why? Because among the woke-ish, it can be easier to fight each other than to punch up and get things done.04:30 Black girls are welcome to be president17:25 Satanic poetry50:36 F*cking cancelled culture1:16:11 Interview with Clementine Morgan & JayAll music by EarthRise SoundSystem (Duke Schommer + Derek Beres)Support Conspirituality on PatreonShow NotesAudio from Mikki Willis and Joyous Heart speaking on Election Day in Austin (original video was taken down from Facebook):Yoga Girl boosts Black girls as President on InstagramMy Dark Journey Into the Soul of a Model Young Republican CandidateQAnon goes to Washington: two supporters win seats in CongressArmed QAnon follower arrested in alleged Philly convention center threat linked to far-right Va. senatorKarl Marx: The FiddlerWhy Silicon Valley billionaires are prepping for the apocalypse in New ZealandClementine Morrigan on Instagram and her website and PatreonFucking Cancelled on PatreonContraPoints on Cance

A weekly study of converging right-wing conspiracy theories and faux-progressive wellness utopianism. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon. As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their followers by co-opting conspiracy theories on a spectrum of intensity ranging from vaccines to child trafficking. In the process, spiritual beliefs that have nurtured creativity and meaning are transforming into memes of a quickly-globalizing paranoia. Conspirituality Podcast attempts to bring understanding to this landscape. A journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical skeptic discuss the stories, cognitive dissonances, and cultic dynamics tearing through the yoga, wellness, and new spirituality worlds. Mainstream outlets have noticed the problem. We crowd-source, research, analyze, and dream answers to it.
