In today's episode, Kate talks about the prevalence of alt-right pipelines in the wellness space online. Kate looks at how seemingly harmless niches such as fitness, clean eating, pilates, and more can quietly serve as pipelines to conservative ideologies. She touches on why conservatives are so good at mobilizing online due to their messaging in seemingly "apolitical niches" and how these subtle pipelines can start to spread more radical sentiments.

Kate discusses how algorithms can speed up this radicalization for both young men and women and how to spot these talking points when you scroll on your FYP. Kate touches on the imbalance between liberal and conservative content online and how the Left can start to build out alt-left pipelines to counteract all of the conservative messaging on social media.
