Conspiracy theories continue! This week we continue a measured jab into the sociology and political economy of conspiracy theories with a new roster of theories ranging from gruesome, grand, to downright bizarre. The foundational texts that helped us understand why these conspiracy theories form are the Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Dr. Shoshana Zuboff, The Peoples' Republic of Walmart by Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski, and finally, the classic The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State by Friedrich Engels. In this episode the Gen Green crew uncovers the deep secrets of Chelsey being an insane conspiracy theorist, Jenny's prior job, and Johnny's shameful title as a wumao.
If you have any more theories to contribute or further discussion on this topic, please contact us on our social media and we’ll bring in some of your input on a future episode! And finally, YAFT is recruiting! Contact us at our email about joining via yaft@healthcollaborative.org! Thanks again for listening to our Gen Green podcast, powered by YAFT.
