This episode is about how ideological entrepreneurs and influencers weave politics into their personal brands, promoting a reactionary politics of race, sex and gender by appealing to people seeking a sense of belonging and poking at their wounds. And behind it all, it turns out, we are being filed, stamped, indexed and identified by the numbers.
