Intolerant Interpretations

Taylor and Shawn talk with Josh Neal about his latest book, Intolerant Interpretations, and its analysis of the 20th century social theory of Karl Popper, Richard Hofstadter, and others, examining the ways in which they have contributed to a culture of suspicion and conspiracism which reinforces modern, post-war Western regimes against the interests of their folk populations.0:00 - Introduction to Josh’s books11:22 - The folk metanarrative21:22 - The collapse of metanarratives vs competition of ethno-metanarratives30:33 - Technique and the mechanisms of suspicion culture45:40 - Managerialism52:16 - Social theorizing as ideological warfare, and characteristics of modern conspiracy theory1:00:23 - The antagonists of the book1:14:20 - Update: It’s still the Jews1:18:32 - Conclusion Get your copy of Intolerant Interpretations here!Find Josh’s previous books American Extremist and Understanding Conspiracy Theories at Imperium Press, and follow Josh on Twitter and Substack to see more of his writing.Get Shawn Bell’s book Post-Stayed tuned for the announcement of the subject of the next episode, and subscribe to make sure you don’t miss it!If you would like to help support us further, consider our paid subscription options, which come with an additional episode of this podcast each month.Thanks for reading Antelope Hill Publishing!
