Ten Thousand Posts The Last Bunnings Snag Outta Naarm ft. Cameron Wilson
Journalist and Author Cameron Wilson returns to the show this week to talk about his new book, Conspiracy Nation: Exposing the Dangerous World of Australian Conspiracy Theories, co-authored with Ariel Bogle.
Hussein and Cameron talk about the conspiracies, both mundane and over-arching, that have gripped British and Australian political culture, and how the platform-based internet turned fringe conspiratorial arguments into subcultures, and eventually, influential talking points in mainstream politics. They also talk about the real-life consequences of conspiracy theories, the effects on those who have lost loved ones to the messianic promises of conspiratorial cults, and what it might take to try and, at the very least, slow down the process of online radicalisation.
