INSOMNIA STREAM: BETRAYED EDITION

Stream Summary

This Insomnia Stream features Devon Stack doing a long, sarcastic, scene-by-scene breakdown of the 1988 film Betrayed, which fictionalizes the murder of Jewish shock-jock Alan Berg and caricatures white rural Americans as violent racist terrorists. Devon pauses frequently to comment on the movie’s depiction of Jews, Christians, “free speech,” FBI operations, the trope of “white supremacist militias,” and early worries about online communication (bulletin boards / proto-internet). He draws parallels between 1980s propaganda and present-day narratives about race, Zionism, World War III fears, and domestic extremism, and closes with a long superchat/hyperchat segment where he answers questions about AI, technology, demographics, Indian reservations, lynch mobs, and his upcoming book.
