@liztai I got this idea from the final episode of "Things Fall Apart" by @jonronson on @BBCRadio4. The series looks at the origins of contemporary culture wars in the West and is one of the best podcasts I've listened to. The second season looks at Covid conspiracies and the final episode looks at the director of "Plandemic." Ronson argues that this guy internalized Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey" into a totalizing worldview based on good fighting evil.
