  • Monster of Their Own Making - Jack Buckby joins Coffee & Conversation

    Special guest Jack Buckby joins Underground Media from across the pond for Coffee and Conversation. Jack is a writer and  researcher from the United Kingdom, and a research associate for the  Frontier Centre for Public Policy. His latest book, Monster of Their Own  Making, describes his experience as a young working class man in  northern England when he became active in Britain's biggest white  nationalist party. Jack dives headfirst into how young men were  compelled to join the ranks of extremists off the back of legitimate  grievances relating to immigration, the economy, and social pressure. In his most recent research paper, Jack also analyzes how politicians of all stripes have used the COVID pandemic to advance extremist policy agendas. 

    In this episode we also cover Jack's latest article, "PayPal and ADL's plan to deplatform conservatives will not result in less 'hate'"
