YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLive-streamed on June 27, 2024
Freelance writer and author Arthur Goldwag discusses his recent book The Politics of Fear: The Peculiar Persistence of American Paranoia.
Emma speaks with Arthur, and they trace the history of paranoia in American politics, and how that history intersects with the rise in anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories, and hatred on the right today. Arthur traces back the racial, ethnic, and religious animus on the right even further back then contemporary American racism and anti-Semitism, discussing the history of anti-Masonic tropes in American history, which also dovetailed with another great American prejudice: hatred towards Catholics and Catholicism, which dissipated mostly only after the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960. Arthur reckons with a question from an MR IM’er as to whether there is a capacity for this conspiratorial, hate-filled energy to be translated and minimized, potentially into a outlet that isn’t characterized by those things, into something more pro-social. He’s not convinced.
