Recorded on the eve of the 2024 election, this episode begins by exploring two different types of informational perspectives: the naive and populist/propagandist views, and whether more is actually better. 
Next, why are facts irrelevant to loyal followers and how does that tie in to professional wrestling? (It's the story!)
Finally, who is Kamala Harris..really? Her word salads say nothing. Thankfully, her old campaign words say plenty. Have the extremes finally seized control of both factions?

#147 - The Great Anti-Woke Backlash of '24: Better Late Than Never

A blunt, unsentimental dive into propaganda, ideology, and the contemporary cult of belief.
Host Todd Thompson dissects how both corporate and collectivist power structures manipulate guilt, fear, and identity to keep the herd in line. From Ellul and Chomsky to Didion and Camus, the show fuses political philosophy, field experience, and gallows humor to expose how revolutions become religions, and how “progress” often hides new forms of control.
The X-Pod is an autopsy of the narratives that shape us: digital Marxism, moral theater, and the algorithmic priests of the new faith. Expect philosophy with scars, historical context with teeth, and the rare luxury of an honest sentence.
