53: Afterword to Episode 52

Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces!  In this timely and shocking - but entertaining - anti-fascist podcast, Daniel tells his friend, online writer Jack Graham, all about it.

We continue our election year series on movies about the US President, with a chat about Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 political-romantic-comedy-drama-satire(???) Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plots of the evil White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella), and falling in love with the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).  Full episode exclusive for Patreon subscribers.

Daniel is joined by friend-of-the-pod and regular guest/collaborator Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (Polite Conversations, Woking Up,  @nicemangos (2) Eiynah (@nicemangos.bsky.social) — Bluesky ) to talk about Israel's genocide in Gaza, and in particular about some questions that have come up around IDSG's public response to it.  Jack was sadly unable to attend the recording but was fully there in spirit.   Our X Space on IDF / Israeli 'dystopian propaganda' with Eiynah:  https://idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/hangin-out-with-eiynah-6-dystopian-propaganda Show Notes: Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay ad-free and independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to at least one full extra episode a month plus all backer-only back-episodes.

PUBLIC BONUS: Talking About Gaza, with Eiynah Mohammed-Smith

Another free public bonus in which Jack steps sideways a little from the usual IDSG focus.  In this episode, Jack hosts a conversation with comrades Twilight O'Hara & Rowan Fortune of Anti-capitalist Resistance about their blistering and important essay A Trans* Guide to Cis Solidarity: Beyond Oppression. This conversation was recorded in January before the show's return from hiatus.    https://anticapitalistresistance.org/a-trans-guide-to-cis-solidarity-beyond-oppression/ Rowan on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/rowantree.bsky.social Twilight on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:az4mtz2vt545x2mlifptup2r Rowan on Mastodon https://mstdn.social/@rowanfortune * Daniel's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/danielharper/posts Jack's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4196618&fan;_landing=true IDSG Twitter: https://twitter.com/idsgpod Daniel's Twitter: @danieleharper Jack's (Locked) Twitter: @_Jack_Graham_ Jack's Bluesky: @timescarcass.bsky.social Daniel's Bluesky: @danielharper.bsky.social IDSG on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-dont-speak-german/id1449848509?ls=1
