Sage & Jester and Intelligence Squared at SXSW London present

Ctrl, Alt, Delusion: Resetting Reality in the Manosphere

Sophia Smith Galer hosts a compelling panel featuring Foolproof author Sander van der Linden, Filmmaker and Journalist, Matt Shea and incisive journalist Ash Sarkar, celebrated for confronting digital culture and political polarisation. Together they delve into how influencer culture weaponises masculinity, transforming isolation and insecurity into a misinformation powerhouse. From fitness gurus to ‘alpha male’ podcasters, the manosphere thrives on grievance and viral distortions.
