The self-described "Black godfather of BreadTube" joins the podcast today to talk about his latest viral video on the mass shooter phenomenon and the role internet culture plays in radicalizing disaffected youth. F.D. Signifier wrote his master's thesis on mass shooters and also thought young boys -- many of whom took their own lives -- and brings a unique perspective as a very online elder millennial who has done his fair share of book-learning on the subject. The conversation expands to a critique of the left's own recruiting prowess -- especially when it comes to Black leftist. Be sure to check out F.D.'s latest, "Dissecting the Manosphere," as well as the other videos on his YouTube channel.

I hope you don’t let anyone give you shit about the Charlie Kirk debate. You embarrassed him on his own show and you came across as better informed and genuine. Check the comments; you won over a lot of the right-wing Turning Points audience that probably never heard a lot of the ideas you presented. It accomplished exactly what it needed to.

He mentioned Andrewism; if you haven't checked out his YouTube or episodes on It Could Happen Here, I highly suggest it.

Here's what I'd ask, Brie. Engage those from the community you are discussing, not just those who critique it from the outside. Men in this space, especially Black men, are due the same good faith engagement that Andrew Sullivan was. I have a CV under my real identity as a former editor at A Voice For Men, however, there are a panoply of eloquent creators in this space, which I'm no longer active in but still consume and engage with and support financially. Chisa Zed, Mediocre Tutorials & Reviews, Poor Man's Podcast, Allen Obi of We Need To Talk, The Lead Attorney, Esso from 8 At The Table, Raulh of Please Act Right, and Donovan Sharpe. Torraine Walker, though a creator specifically in that space, is the most ardent defender of Black men on Twitter. Heck, bring on a panel. The concepts are not an outgrowth of conservative backlash politics as the graphic suggests, nor did PewDiePie (whoever that is) influence it. These concepts and discussions go back to such disparate thinkers as Dr. Warren Farrell (read his groundbreaking "The Myth of Male Power" from 1993) to Tom Leykis, from Glenn Sacks to Chris Rock to Patrice Oneal. Check out the 2011 posts from The Rational Male for the best distillation of the pillars of these intergender dynamics.
