Contrarian X PERIL Conspiracies, Propaganda, and Extremist Violence

The American psyche is plagued by prejudiced propaganda. Violent male-driven misogyny, antisemitic conspiracies, and anti-minority brainwashing repeatedly burrows itself within our society. With the proliferation of the internet, these bigoted worldviews are amplified, accelerating at an alarming pace.

Extremism scholars Cynthia Miller-Idriss and Bill Braniff of PERIL join Jen to discuss this hatred’s devastating and long-term ramifications. For example, on March 12th, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali drove a car into a Michigan synagogue in retaliation to Israel’s strikes in Lebanon killing his family members. As Braniff explains, with the federal government cutting many of the departments focusing on prevention, this type of violence is likely to increase.
