Turning Chaos Into Comedy (Viz) The Barney Farmer Interview

Hello Initiates! Apologies for the delay, we've been experiencing some technical difficulties... it must be that pesky Illuminati trying to silence us! lol

Anyway, thanks for your patience and support!

Here is a brand new episode: Turning Chaos Into Comedy The Barney Farmer (VIZ) Interview

In this insightful episode of "Some Dare Call It Conspiracy," host Neil Sanders chats with Barney Farmer, the creative mind behind iconic characters like the Drunken Bakers and Male Online. The conversation dives deep into the roots of his satirical work, the changing landscape of conspiracy theories, and the fine line between edgy comedy and offensive material.

Male Online: Inspired by Reality

Barney Farmer shares that the inspiration for his character Male Online came from reading the polarizing comments on The Daily Mail website. He observed older right-wing activists sharpening their skills online, embodying a raw, unfiltered form of social commentary.

Drunken Bakers: From Pub Observations to Comic Strips

Farmer recounts how experiences at a pub and a pie shop laid the groundwork for his despondent yet relatable characters in "Drunken Bakers." Despite the bleak environment of the north, the humor struck a chord with readers, blending wit with melancholy.

Offering Meaning in a World of Uncertainty

Farmer acknowledges that both religion and science provide meaning, despite their different approaches. Where religion fills the void of existential and moral queries, science offers explanations grounded in empirical evidence.

Conspiracies: A Symptom of a Troubled Society?

Farmer and Sanders explore the notion that conspiracy theories serve as a coping mechanism for those grappling with the chaos and unpredictability of the world. The comfort lies in believing that events unfold according to a grand plan, even if it's a nefarious one.

Our conversation with Barney Farmer offers a kaleidoscope of insights into the intricate blend of humor, politics, and societal observations that define his work. From exploring the genesis of beloved characters to the nuanced navigation of conspiracy theories and modern societal dynamics, this episode provides a rich tapestry of thought and laughter, weaving together the many facets of Farmer's comedic genius.

In the last few years we have seen a significant rise in the belief of conspiracy theories. From the dismissal of facts as fake news to the full embrace of conspiracy theories by politicians and commentators, we face an uncertain future. Democracy is under attack and our open and free societies are in danger due to a dangerous mind virus. Conspiracism is the new pandemic.

It's a story of redemption, a guide back to reality, and a testament to the power of change. But to bring this project to life, to reach more people and make a greater impact, we need your support.
