IndoctriNation Manipulation and the Manosphere with Francisco González Espejito
In this episode, host Rachel Bernstein is joined by Francisco González Espejito, a psychologist, lecturer, and researcher at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Francisco discusses his background in studying abuse and violence across various contexts, the influence of coercive control, and the rise of digital environments like the manosphere. They explore how pseudo-therapeutic groups manipulate their followers, the psychological mechanisms behind group influence, and the disturbing trend of self-harm communities on gaming platforms. The conversation underscores the complexities of modern-day coercion and the importance of awareness and protection against such systems.
