DEW energy weapons and the maui wild fires
Escaping The Rabbit Hole
Episode Summary I'm talking about the Maui Wild fires and the idiotic conspiracy theory that DEW weapons were used. This episode was a little bit emotional for me, because I've lived in Hawaii (Kaua'i) for 16 years. I briefly talk about some of the grief I've felt in regards to the fire — the Kupuna (elderly) and keiki (children) passing away, the loss of peoples homes, loss of 200 years of culture/cultural artifacts, etc. In this episode I mention how my girlfriend and I have been taking care of our elderly neighbor since about 2017. He's a 91 year old Hawaiian man that's originally from...

info_outlineEpisode Summary
Mark is a gay man who was with his partner for 15 years, legally married for five. His partner became involved in QAnon, and Mark noticed a change in his personality that he suspected was connected to the right wing extremism. In June or July of 2020, Mark discovered Q merchandise on his partner’s desk and began to learn more about the conspiracy theory. He heard rumors that it involved Hillary Clinton drinking the blood of children, but even this seemed too far-fetched for him to believe.
Quotes We Loved
- The Danger of QAnon: “I understand how Hitler came to power in a way I never did before. Before QAnon, before I saw it happen to someone I loved and respected and cared about, who is now just not the same person.”
- Dealing with a Partner’s Conspiracy Theories: “Find your own way to validate your experience. Don’t wait for them to acknowledge it…It’s going to be a while before they really reconcile with what they did and how they damaged you.”
- Conspiracy Theories and the Fame Model: “Conspiracy theorists generally feel powerless, and they want to be the hero. They want to be the hero that comes down from the mountain with the secret information that can save the world they want to be. They’re a victim and a hero at the same time.”
