Featuring Naomi Klein on how the pandemic turbocharged a far-right conspiracist politics that’s sweeping into power. This strange new world, however, is a product of an old contradiction: the need to disavow and deny a long history and awful present; the inability to make sense of the extreme violence and oppression that makes everyday Western capitalist society possible.
We discuss Klein’s book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World and her Guardian essay “How Israel has made trauma a weapon of war”: theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2024/oct/05/israel-gaza-october-7-memorials
