The Pewdiepie Pipeline: DEBATING The Manosphere & Mass Shooting w/ F.D. Signifier

https://www.patreon.com/posts/67239038 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 masters 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 his other videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1FkO7Tr70A

Yeah, the complications of living under the American empire (as described by Caitlin Johnstone). Propagandized people scuffed by reality. I need my SSA check though.

Brie, do you really think what the world needs is someone with more schooling explaining what's happening? we don't have enough people who went to schools, and revere their diplomas, and training, fucking shit up?

He was a teacher for 10 years. We actually don’t have enough teacher voices in media

Maybe. Sometimes when you specialize, though, you try to push every problem into that framework. To a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. To someone who has spent decades in gender/ethnic studies (and just being on a college campus), every problem looks like an intersectional power imbalance.

I think a figure like Jordan Peterson resonates with young people because he has a fleshed out worldview that purports to have a way to find meaning. To be clear, his worldview is hokum, and he smuggles in a ton of rightwing politics into it, but young men are looking for someone who can start from scratch and articulate why they believe what they do, and he can do that. The left doesn't have a common narrative like that. We have class struggle, but that needs to be paired with an articulable set of humanist principles in order to sign people up and get them to feel meaningfully tied to the project.

This is a topic that I’ve been Interested in for more than 20 years. Here are some things for anyone wanting to look into this deeper. I’ve been wanting to have this convo since the 90s. In college I read a book called Stiffed- The Betrayal of the American Man by Susan Faludi, a notable feminist writer who I had read in a womens studies class. Looking back on it now I’d say it was a warning re: incel and edgelord culture. https://g.co/kgs/KRjnqZ More recently Jessa Crispin has done some writing in this arena. There’s an interview somewhere with her and Ciara Cremin who wrote Man-Made Woman that I thought was excellent. https://thebaffler.com/latest/right-to-radiance-crispin Bookchin talks about domination and hierarchy, specifically patriarchy being the root of environmental destruction. https://youtu.be/CP2_4wrCmkA These are the convos I wish I saw more of on the left and I think will lead to us saving ourselves, if such a thing is possible.
