A friend from twitter approached me several months ago with this painful personal story about a close, lifelong friend whose life takes a very dark and destructive turn after becoming redpilled in 2017.
CONTENT WARNING:
This episode recounts trauma and traumatic events -- including death by suicide -- and is not presented for prurient interest. What I hope you can take away from this is two people working through to a slightly better understanding of what certain types of conflict and trauma have in common and how we deal with it.
Finally: this story involves QAnon, but what you will quickly learn is that my take here is that Q/MAGA/whatever is incidental to what ultimately happens in this particular instance. There are much more qualified and experienced people covering this beat and I reference them often. Listeners curious about these tops should reference the QAA podcast, researchers like Mike Rothschild, Mark Andre Argentino, and journalists and researchers like Will Sommer and Jared Holt.
