Episode notes

John Perry: I first learned about John your work from James Howard Kunstler when I was kind of falling into a peak oil rabbit hole. He explores how the occult and magic influenced the outcome of the 2016 US presidential election. Perry: To make sense of the 2016 presidential election, you have to start with the assumption that there are no good guys in this story.

In this episode John Michael Greer and I discuss his 'Kek Wars' article series on how the Chans used magick to influence the 2016 elections. We talk about political campaigns as magical performance, 4chan as the collective unconscious of the internet, the lefts failure to recognize a politics of existential crises, the myth of progress, and the antidote to cosmic indifference. 🐙 The Kek Wars Part 1: https://www.ecosophia.net/the-kek-wars-part-one-aristocracy-and-its-discontents/ Primer on Chaos Magick: https://ultraculture.org/blog/2015/11/13/psychonaut-field-manual/
