On the latest DOOMED livestream, Matt Binder dedicated the full show to taking listener phone calls. One listener, Brian from Alabama, shared his experience going from a fairly apolitical person to a right wing conspiracy theorist. During the earliest days of the COVID pandemic lockdowns, Brian discovered conspiracy theorists like David Icke on YouTube. He soon after was recommended Jimmy Dore by the algorithms. Then one day he discovered the Sam Seder vs. Jimmy Dore debate from 2016, which fully helped pull him out of the right wing conspiracy rabbit hole. Listen to his story about how conspiratorial content and Dore just made him angry at scapegoats instead of actually focusing proactively on what is actually going on.
