Imagine that you’re watching a video about overcoming depression. In it, a speaker in a classroom of some sort starts talking to you about your self worth.

Today on the show, Outline staff writer Paris Martineau walks me through the world of these videos that target depressed, dejected men, and encourage them to find comfort in backwards ideologies.
