The Glitterpill Podcast: Recent Episodes
Samantha Kutner
How do nice people end up in a militia, or attacking peaceful protestors?
How does someone go from Youtube viewer to violent agitator?
So many of us may be asking these same questions.
Leading academics are grappling with them, but right now, the ivory tower isn’t what we need.
Glitterpill believes these are grassroots problems with community solutions. The Glitterpill community wants to give every day people the tools they need to help their friends, family, and coworkers from falling down a dangerous rabbit hole.
As much as social media can be a treacherous landscape of fake news and echo chambers, Glitterpill believes it also has the potential to revive healthy debate and foster powerful transformational discussions.
In Glitterpill you will receive important data, analyzed by a professional researcher and trained academic in the field of countering violent extremism so that you can stay up to date without the fatigue of parsing through each and every piece of news yourself.
About This Episode
In this insightful episode, Jen and I trace her father's complex journey through the rabbit hole pf conservative mass media and his eventual return. Guided by the profound insight that “we don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are”, we utilize theories as lenses to interpret and understand new phenomena. We also discuss approaches proposed by Steve Hassan and Jim Stewartson, and how the complexities of radicalization and deradicalization might necessitate a broader spectrum of perspectives.

This episode covers how one group of Something Awful goons and their pursuit of accountability for sex-pest behaviors in the video game Eve Online served as the catalyst for the resignation of longtime “space dictator,” The Mittani, who stepped down from his leadership role of the in-game alliance Goonswarm Federation. It highlights the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions, particularly in online gaming communities. It also showcases the potential for pro-social gaming communities to come together to address and address problematic behavior.

On this Halloween episode of the Glitterpill podcast, I speak with David Neiwart, Dr. Stanislav Vysotsky, Brooke Binkowski & Shane Burely about modern horrors, and dark unseen forces crippling pit ability to respond to the far right.
Food is a lens to view culture. In this episode Khalifa Ihler cofounder Bjorn Ihler and I talk about Azday, a project to gather stories of food and culture. Sit down, bring a beverage, get cozy as you hear rare ethnographic interview excerpts with Australian Proud Boys while learning about couscous.

Episode 6: Tackling Terrorism’s Taboo: Shame and the Proud Boys
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” It’s been [ ] years since Jung wrote those words, and [ ] years since Dostoyevsky’s shame and sin emerged in “Demons.”
What can the threat assessment community and analysts themselves learn from shame?
In this episode, I speak with Far Right analyst Matt Kriner, on shame as a human universal, and it’s role in the recruitment and radicalization process.

Research suggests that identity-based goals are great for ensuring long-term success. But what if the identity you've constructed involves harmful elements that have nothing to do with fitness, and everything to do with hate? In this episode, I sit down with Urban Antonio, a personal trainer of over two decades who has seen the rise of the far-right in the wellness industry.

On March 4th, Qanon adherents will flock to D.C. to support what they believe will be Trump’s “true inauguration.” The March 4th date is a Sovereign Citizen conspiracy that dovetails with followers anticipation of “the storm.” Trump, on-brand, has increased the prices for his hotel stay for this date. In this episode journalist, OG Glitterpill member, & friend David Neiwert and I talk about how conspiracy theories operate, the harms they cause, the role journalists can play in reducing their circulation. We also discuss how a trans allegory in a popular 90’s film mutated to a far right recruitment mechanism.

Join me as I discuss The Proud Boys and current terrorism legislation in Canada which targets them, with Dr. Caroline Orr and Jessica Davis.
On January 6th, Ashli Babbit, noted Qanon adherent, flew to DC. shot in the storming of The Capitol. People might be wondering how something as bizarre as Pizzagate has morphed into a large-scale security threat; a threat on the level of ethnic conflict seen in worn torn countries. I get to speak with Eric Brichetto, a software developer, and emerging disinformation researcher. We discuss the more insidious origins of the Qanon conspiracy theory and why it is so hard to dissuade certain parts of the American public from adopting these beliefs.
*Correction In this episode, we claimed that Rastorguev’s work was sponsored and approved by the public relations arm of the KGB. It was later discovered that he had the endorsement of the security committee of the state duma, the lower house of the federal assembly of Russia.

Figures like Candace Owens Ben Shapiro are routinely discussed in the news. We can talk about them and the anger they hope to evoke, but I feel there are more fruitful conversations to be had. As a Jewish female scholar who has interviewed Proud Boys of color, I got to have a different conversation with Dr. Robert L. Reece. In this first episode of the Glitterpill podcast, we talk about what Proud Boys of Color identify with when they identify with "The West" and the long term harms of this identification.
