Take a Walk on the Right Side

Episode 2 - Charlottesville: Unite the Right?


Listen Later

In their weekly podcast, Jesse Morton, once an al-Qaeda propagandist, and Matthew Heimbach, former white nationalist and right-wing ideologue, discuss the threat posed by an increasingly transnational far-right wing extremist movement. Together, they dissect the nuances of key far-right propaganda pieces and discuss how they have helped shape the constantly mutating far-right ideology  and movement. By including personal experiences Jesse Morton and Matthew Heimbach hope to draw similarities across different extremist movements, encourage others not to be deluded by the extremist mindset of recruiters, and to leave extremist movements if they are actively involved.


In this episode, Jesse and Matthew discuss how the outcome of the Unite the Right rally splintered, rather than united, the far-right. As an organizer of the Charlottesville rally, Matthew provides an insider's account to how accelerationists and neo-fascists perceived the rally and its outcomes as a victory over the general white nationalist movement.
