Show Notes
Before Candace Owens became an overnight right-wing media star, she wanted to rid the internet of trolls with her anti-bullying startup, Social Autopsy. But then, it collided with Gamergate, and a red-pilled conspiracy theorist was born. In Part 1 of this miniseries, Cristen traces the overlooked origin story Candace never stops rewriting: a high school racism scandal, a controversial Kickstarter and her uncanny path to becoming the far-right’s most useful convert. Until she wasn’t.
It’s the story of how conspiracy thinking becomes ideological performance – where criticism confirms belief, enemies create audiences, and personal grievance transforms political identity. Because the real conspiracy isn't what Candace says. It's how she got here and who helped make it happen.
