In this first episode, we unravel the origins of ‘crunchy culture’ and its political alignment, the cognitive dissonance within the Make America Healthy Again movement, my own theory on the new definition of ‘crunchy,’ and the nontoxic packaging of female-focused alt right propaganda. By my count, I say ‘universal healthcare’ 6 times, so that is now the starting metric for further episodes.
Cheers!
