It’s election season in America, which means terrible racist memes shared by people you hate. In that spirit, Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) spoke with Ryan Broderick (@broderick), Buzzfeed’s Deputy Editor of Global News, about his recent article on how American tech companies radicalised the world. We talk about his experience reporting on the Brazilian elections, why Jair Bolsonaro wants to kill bandits, and how the future looks an awful lot like rich people reading the Economist and everyone else listening to Joe Rogan.
