I have been trying... I have been writing a series of essays trying to understand what happened with Charles Eisenstein and Russell Brand -- how the focus on "sovereignty" and bodily autonomy / vaccine paranoia during the pandemic acted as the gateway drug to Right-libertarian ideology and Trump-ism. Here are the 3 articles I have written so far - if anyone emails me ( Daniel.pinchbeck@gmail.com ), I am happy to give them a month free subscription so they can go behind the paywalls: https://danielpinchbeck.substack.com/p/the-turncoats?r=1mhh1
The real thing you should try to understand is how the fear porn and manipulation of the pandemic led yourself and many like you to support outright corporate/state authoritarianism. While those you mention remained liberal.
Come on, "Vaccine paranoia"? My eyes could not roll any harder.
I know! I have read them! They are wonderful! I hope you write more about it. This shit is crazzzzy and happening frequently. My yoga teacher for the last 25 years is now a Trump supporter. These times are wild! Bayo Akomolafe offers a lot of good insight here. Are you familiar with him David?

Maybe take your articles to your own page instead of commenting all over Charlie’s
