Royal Cannon Podcast: Unpacking the Pipeline
This week we discuss everything from Pepe the Frog to Proud Boys, the alt-right didn’t just crawl out of basements — it was born in the meme factories of the internet. This week, Royal and Cannon unravel the pipeline: how “just jokes” turn into radical ideology, why some incel forums are suddenly obsessed with “trans-maxing,” and what happens when the Republican Party’s youth movement has to pick sides between Charlie Kirk’s corporate cheer camp and Nick Fuentes’ fascist basement cult.
We’ll also touch on The Atlantic’s piece about the decline of partying (spoiler: Discord servers are the new frat house), and why loneliness is the secret accelerant in America’s political dumpster fire.
Special thanks to @misterfoxwell on TikTok for sparking some of today’s discussion.
