11: “Breaking Incel” w/ Jack Peterson

Over the past few weeks, Naama and guests have grappled with the question: what happens to incels when they “ascend” or simply decide to leave the community? How do they take that leap? And then adjust to life without their former friends, their beliefs, and their “second home,” for a strange new world? This week on INCEL, Naama speaks to ”Jack Peterson,” (not his real name...) the first “former” to go public about his upbringing, his time inside, his decision to leave, and life after “ascension.” ————————————————————— Listen to more of Jack Peterson’s story on NPR’s “Invisibilia,” at https://www.npr.org/2019/04/11/712276022/the-end-of-empathy/ —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ‬—————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.
