The Abuse Stops Here Podcast

17: When Influence Turns Toxic : How Influencers like Charlie Kirk Spread Misinformation


Listen Later

In this episode of The Abuse Stops Here Podcast, we examine how influencers like Charlie Kirk use their platforms to spread misinformation, exploit fear, and normalize abusive power dynamics under the guise of influence or leadership. We’ll unpack how this type of manipulation mirrors the same tactics used by abusers—gaslighting, control, and emotional coercion—only on a larger, societal scale. We’ll also discuss the real-world harm this causes to vulnerable communities and how to recognize and resist these patterns online. This episode is a call to awareness, accountability, and digital responsibility in the fight against abuse.
