We are unlocking this bonus episode originally released Oct. 24, 2021 to accompany our new episode -- Dhar Mann Pt. 2!
Original episode description:
We analyze the extremely popular video parables of Dhar Mann, a serial entrepreneur turned YouTuber who boasts more than 12 million subscribers to his channel and over 5.5 billion video views. Dhar and the cast and crew employed by his production company Dhar Mann Studios create nakedly didactic yet endlessly compelling short films on moral themes. The tone is very similar to the Christian media we cover, despite not being overtly Christian itself. In his scripts, Dhar Mann invokes broad and often questionable archetypes of human behavior to prove his points - blonde bombshell “gold diggers” take advantage of shrugging “nice guys”, a pink-haired antifa member criticizes an honest cop, and a dishonest beggar is actually a scammer pretending to be disabled. The bizarre, inconsistent messaging paired with pristine production value is really confusing to behold, and it makes one wonder - is something wrong here? Past allegations of fraud and some tiny bits of online evidence from former employees paint a less wholesome picture of Dhar Mann’s operation than his shiny exterior would have you believe. Whether or not our hunches about him are correct, we still find his videos disturbing for the way they proselytize the religion of American capitalism, and venerate the rich as living saints.
