Description

An audio essay from Matthew about how anti-trans ideology can so curdle the soul that an otherwise progressive eco-activist—Derrick Jensen of Deep Green Resistance—can blow up his entire career over it, disrupting the very thing he says he lives for, and destroying the movement he spent years building up.The story starts more than a decade ago, but comes to its peak absurdity, for Matthew at least, on Facebook. He posted some thoughts about Jordan Peterson freaking out over that woman on the cover of Sports Illustrated. And then Jensen visited his page.Resources:The New Age / Medieval Mortifications of Jordan Peterson | by Matthew Remski | MediumThat FB post about Peterson and Yumi Nuanyways… | with Music Itty Bitty Piggy - Nicki Minaj - spencer gouldingYumi Nu cleverly responds to Jordan Peterson's 'not beautiful' comment' | indy100Simulacra and Simulations — BaudrillardGovernment Bill (House of Commons) C-16 (42-1) - First Reading - An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code - Parliament of CanadaCanada's gender identity rights Bill C-16 explained | CBC Docs POVFour years on, past critics are silent on whether fears around transgender human rights bill were founded - The Hill TimesAn Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code - WikipediaJordan Peterson: The right to be politically incorrect | National PostI Was in the Room While Jordan Peterson and Senators Debated My Human Rights​​Lies of the land: against and beyond Paul Kingsnorth's völkisch environmentalism | libcom.orgWhat Speaking Like Jordan Peterson Probably Feels Like – Matthew RemskiJordan Peterson's Climate Expert is Science Denier Funded by Oil-Backed Think Tank - DeSmogDeep Green Transphobia III: Derrick Jensen's Hateful Tirade | Vancouver Media Co-op​​How Derrick Jensen's Deep Green Resistance Supports Transphobia - Decolonizing YogaDGR and Transphobia – Aric McBayFor a Critical Radical F

A weekly study of converging right-wing conspiracy theories and faux-progressive wellness utopianism. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon. As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their followers by co-opting conspiracy theories on a spectrum of intensity ranging from vaccines to child trafficking. In the process, spiritual beliefs that have nurtured creativity and meaning are transforming into memes of a quickly-globalizing paranoia. Conspirituality Podcast attempts to bring understanding to this landscape. A journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical skeptic discuss the stories, cognitive dissonances, and cultic dynamics tearing through the yoga, wellness, and new spirituality worlds. Mainstream outlets have noticed the problem. We crowd-source, research, analyze, and dream answers to it.
