    <title>The Crumbling</title>
    <generator>Transistor (https://transistor.fm)</generator>
    <itunes:new-feed-url>https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-crumbling</itunes:new-feed-url>
    <description>Four co-hosts combine their powers to discuss the people,
events, and movements that caused our collective reality to
crumble.
Sophia Florence - Writer/comedian (horror movies and
stand-up), policy advisor and copywriter, chemical
engineer, and mathematician
V - Sociologist and world's best hype woman
Damian - Activist, scientist, and journalist
Davin DuBois - Man of mystery and leisure
The podcast addresses disinformation and misinformation,
as well as giving accurate histories, with context important
to modern politics. The show focuses on topics like
conspiracy theories, disinformation, political movements,
harassment campaigns, and dehumanization itself. New
episodes every 2 weeks</description>

        <![CDATA[<p>The co-hosts are rounding out the journey through showing how <br>climate change disinformation has led us to where we are now. They <br>discuss the second Trump administration, and how it has, through <br>DOGE and its own actions, buried information on climate change in <br>order to benefit the American kleptocracy. They discuss the details of <br>grants and other funding from the federal government that would aid <br>research and infrastructure investments to help dull the effects of <br>climate change on vulnerable people.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p> The co-hosts talk about how the 1960's had such bad air quality that parts of 1965 were compared to the days after 9/11 in New York. They also learned that that year was just awful in general, and may rival 2020 and 2025 for sheer audacity in being a bad and uncertain time to live. The recurring villain makes a return trip because how could the American Petroleum Institute leave anything good and decent alone? The co-hosts learn what the PSAC is and that it sounds dirty. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p> The co-hosts talk about how the 1960's had such bad air quality that parts of 1965 were compared to the days after 9/11 in New York. They also learned that that year was just awful in general, and may rival 2020 and 2025 for sheer audacity in being a bad and uncertain time to live. The recurring villain makes a return trip because how could the American Petroleum Institute leave anything good and decent alone? The co-hosts learn what the PSAC is and that it sounds dirty. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p> The hosts open the discussion on climate change. They talk about how the potentials for climate change were discovered in the 1800's, and how it was identified to be happening in the early 1900's. They go on to discuss how disinformation started very quickly, funded by the petroleum industry. The AI co-host finally reveals his secret identity: Davin DuBois. That shouldn't mean anything to you, as he's just a guy, but he's a cool guy and a smart guy, and we love him, so we hope the audience appreciates the reveal, and getting to know him better. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p> Sophia continues the story of how GamerGate set the stage for a lot of modern events, including the Groomer Panic, where people blamed the existence of queer youth on queer adults. The group talks about how this was spread largely by people like Chaya Raichik, who used her Twitter page, Libs of Tiktok, to spread mass panic across the conservative media ecosystem, and thereby people all over the world that share the ideology. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p> Sophia continues the story of how GamerGate gamed our collective understanding of reality, this time through how PizzaGate spawned QAnon. The group gives a light intro to the conspiracy theory, and how it spread through MLM mom's and a weird story about furniture. Andrew gets Q-pilled and becomes a crab rangooner. Javier is replaced with a potentially sentient AI. The group talks about the scariest and funniest consequences of the 2024 nightmare election. Some overarching themes are introduced. </p>
