Expect to learn what’s happening with young people and politics at the moment and why it’s qualitatively different than the past, the weirdest subcultures on the internet that move politics, how online redicalisation actually happens, how internet subcultures actively produce or accelerates political beliefs and identity formation, why Joshua thinks “conservatism is the new punk rock” and much more… Timestamps: (0:00) The Impressionable Minds That Decide Our Destiny (5:31) The Radicalisation Train is Speeding Up (19:04) How Radicalisation Evolves (26:13) How Small, Strange Communities Control Beliefs (37:33) What Memes Reveal About Modern Ideology (49:06) The Most Important Ideas to Watch Out For (53:24) How Dark Does the Left Go?
