The antipopuli

Cody asks whether the demons are friends or foes, and Bazathrax answers that they are not demons and that it is "coming from people" UC2 E2·01:07:52 UC2 E2·01:07:55. He then says "It's the antipopuli." UC2 E2·01:08:01. Brennan says the word is far outside Pete's field of knowledge UC2 E2·01:08:26. Brennan tells Kingston he knows the term, which refers to something like antimatter made of ill will toward people, rooted in the culture of the place where it forms UC2 E2·01:19:49. In New York, Brennan says, it is misanthropic ill will toward the city's social norms that forms a magically toxic spiritual substance, spiritually poisonous to people when it congregates UC2 E2·01:19:49.

The antipopuli is a spiritual substance of misanthropy and ill will against a place's customs and norms UC2 E2·01:19:49. In UC2_02 the party finds a subway train flooded with it, where people who do not move further into the car are shown as zombies on a graveyard floor UC2 E2·01:39:07. In UC2_03 Pete knows that Nod is being pushed into the waking world by the presence of the antipopuli, a primordial hatred for the norms and customs of New York UC2 E3·00:03:03.

Brennan says the train's fiendish final car is made of the worst subway behavior, with a man manspreading across five seats UC2 E3·01:25:39. In UC2_04 Kingston reasons that the lethal dose on the train came from a concentration of the miasma, while Pete says it was probably pushed ashore like jellyfish by a tide of raw Umbral Arcana UC2 E4·01:24:03 UC2 E4·01:26:00. In UC2_07 the recap says raw Umbra brought a wash of antipopuli, raw misery and misanthropy from the dreaming into the city UC2 E7·00:00:32.
