In this episode of 'Trish Wood is Critical', Trish dives into the murky waters of patriotism and pathology. Trish takes a hard look at how leaders, including Trudeau, use fear and propaganda to manipulate public sentiment. She discusses the impact of COVID-19 policies and the fear-mongering that followed, leading to what she describes as 'mass formation psychosis'. Trish doesn’t hold back on her criticism of performative leadership and the lack of genuine, honest governance.
Her guest, Scott Horton, joins the conversation to shed light on the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the political dynamics at play. Horton's insights into the 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' and European virtue signalling add depth to the discussion. Together, they dissect the implications of these political manoeuvres on global stability and public perception. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the interplay between politics, media, and public opinion.
