In the beginning was the Word. In this case, the “word” is spoken by a velvet-voiced radio host revealing that the elites are poisoning Grandma, or a Professor turned board game millionaire’s blog post declaring feminism a satanic plot. Their words, carried over early websites and late-night radio, seeded the ideas that festered into the culture wars and extremist conspiracy content of today. Brad is back to tell the stranger-than-...
