Crackpot History is about separating history from hysteria.
The influencers are at the gates, and the pop-historians are attempting to deconstruct the founding myths of the West, twist long established history, and blur the lines between fact and fiction.
They are weaponizing this moment. The goal is to make people question who they can trust, and what they can believe.
It's time to push back.

Crackpot History Episode 0: Douglas Murray is Right
Crackpot History is about separating history from hysteria. The debate between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith on the Joe Rogan Experience revealed something dangerous that has been slowly simmering for years. The influencers are at the gates, and the pop-historians are attempting to deconstruct the founding myths of the West, twist long established history, and blur the lines between fact and fiction. They are weaponizing this moment. The goal is to make people question who they can trust, and what they can believe. It's time to push back.
