After Donald Trump’s victory, a question haunts many of us: how could so many people elect someone who talks nonsense, lies daily, and yet his supporters don’t seem to hold him accountable for those lies? At its core, these are broader questions : how has conspiracy thinking gained so much ground in recent years? What can be done about those, an ever-growing number, who live in parallel realities? Repeating the facts is no longer enough, so how do we address this? This is one of the questions highlighted by author Naomi Klein. In her latest essay, she delves into this parallel world—a whole underground realm of disinformation and conspiracies that, according to her, feeds off the silence and failures of the so-called progressive world. In this book, she explains that the causes progressives stand for have now become dormant and have been usurped, replaced by distorted doubles. And to discuss this, she is on the set of Blast.
