170: The Age of Insurrection (w/David Neiwert)
Conspirituality
Distorted Patriotism and Anti-Democratic Beliefs
This chapter explores the dangerous beliefs and misconceptions held by individuals like Steve Bannon and Alex Jones, who distort the meaning of patriotism and republicanism, promoting an anti-democratic view of America. It delves into the connection between the militia/patriot movement and the Tea Party, and traces the origins of these beliefs back to the Posse Comitatus movement. The chapter also discusses the overlap between conspiracist worldviews and religiosity, and the use of eliminationist rhetoric to dehumanize opponents.
