Counter-Populism is the political project of our moment: measures introduced as Counter-Terrorism have been turned against dissenting members of domestic populations on the left and right. Journalist Matt Taibbi takes us on a barnstormer journey from the ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy against Trump and the anti-antisemitism campaign against Corbyn, the rise of anti-COVID disinformation measures where the US security services and Biden administration brought social media companies in house, and the final domino in Israel’s propaganda campaign today. PLUS how Matt sees his dealings with Elon Musk now!
