It's been so interesting to watch the alt-right flock to the same stuff my New Age-leftie mom was into in the mid-aughts - organic food, supplements, 'living off the land' - horseshoe theory at work, honestly. There's a whole lot to be said about the online wellness-to-right-wing-fundamentalism pipeline (Aubrey and Michael knocked it out of the park: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3KGTXG3xm9jfxPUUiuU4Gh?si=9b9ba1f64d23407c ), and as someone who works in public health (vaccine hesitancy, currently) I think we need to start paying A LOT more attention to where people are receiving their health info. People are getting led to some dangerous conclusions.
