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.

6. Tackling Terrorism’s Taboo: Shame and the Proud Boys
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.

The Fitness World's Far Right Problem
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.

Episode 3: Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us.
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.
