I Don't Speak German

At the start of the month, Daniel and Jack co-hosted a Twitter Space hangout with their friend, IDW-gadlfy podcaster Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (@NiceMangos). We had a fun chat about all the silliness that right-wingers had been up to (Jordan weeping over incels to Piers Morgan, Matt Walsh freaking out over crystal flutes, Graham Linehan starting to doubt vaccines and climate change, Peter Thiel's 'Right Stuff' dating app, mermaids of colour, etc) and then took some questions from listeners. Teddy Wilson (@reportbywilson), journalist and researcher and publisher of Radical Reports (@radicalreports) joined us too. Fun start, more serious back half; altogether a fun show that we decided to put up for everyone here.

Special guest Rob from The Right Podcast (@TheRightPodcast) returns to tell Jack all about Stewart Rhodes and The Oath Keepers - seen like a rash all over American fascist activity from Ferguson to January 6th - with special attention to their deep roots and influences in the Tea Party explosion of the Obama era, the John Birch Society tradition, the Ron Paul Revolution, the Bundy saga, Waco and Ruby Ridge, and the US far-right tradition generally.

With apologies for our long absence (we've both had non-Covid health problems) and assurances of our continued commitment to the show, here is a new episode in which Daniel chats with brilliant special guest - @MsEntropy - on Twitter about terrible Tom Metzger, his importance to the far-right movement, his continued relevance, and the dangerous way his legacy is often misunderstood and underestimated.

Jack will be back soon with another chat with Rob from @TheRightPodcast about Stewart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers.

In case you hadn't heard, an old lady died and her unpleasant elderly son became her. Or something? Anyway, we puzzle it out in this bonus episode.

I'm still trying to figure out who destroyed a ring, personally.

We've been away but now we have returned and your ears will be sorry... largely because we're back with a soft-reboot episode in which we go back to our roots, i.e. the proper nazis... specifically, the cesspit that is the TRS podcast.

In this show we take you behind the paywall and present a catalogue of hideousness, focusing on TRS co-host Jesse Dunstan (AKA Sven) and his various thoughts on ethic cleansing ('peaceful', of course), how to react properly to mass shootings by genocidal racists (don't deny, celebrate), the Holocaust (guess what he thinks), and why certain people should be forced to justify their right to exist.

In the process, Dunstan is discovered mirroring the recorded words of one Heinrich Himmler (several times), Daniel speaks earnestly about his recent difficulties, and Jack gets more familiar with the appearance of the n-word as a waveform than he ever wanted or expected to.

It's a long one. Bits of it are very grim. But we think it might be one you'll remember.

Content Warnings. Obviously.

"Did We Win?", an analysis of Unite the Right five years out by friend of the show Emily Gorcenski.

IDSG Episode 9, Mike Enoch and The Daily Shoah

Angry White Men, "Pool Party's Closed: A Timeline of the Right Stuff's Meltdown"

Johnny Monoxide at the SPLC

Chip Rowe, The Highlands Current, "The Extremist Next Door"

Himmler Speech in Posen (Poland) in October 4, 1943.

• I am talking about the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people.
• It is one of those things that is easily said. "The Jewish people is being exterminated," every Party member will tell you "perfectly clear, it's part of our plans, we're eliminating the Jews, exterminating them, a small matter." And then along they all come, all the 80 million upright Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. They say: all the others are swine, but here is a first-class Jew. And . . . none of them has seen it, has endured it. Most of you will know what it means when 100 bodies lie together, when 500 are there or when there are 1000. And . . . to have seen this through and—with the exception of human weakness—to have remained decent, has made us hard and is a page of glory never mentioned and never to be mentioned. Because we know how difficult things would be, if today in every city during the bomb attacks, the burdens of war and privations, we still had Jews as secret saboteurs, agitators and instigators. We would probably be at the same stage as 16/17, if the Jews still resided in the body of the German people.

End note:

• We have taken away the riches that they had, and . . . I have given strict order, which Obergruppenführer Pohl has carried out, we have delivered these riches to the Reich, to the State. We have taken nothing from them for ourselves. A few, who have offended against this, will be judged in accordance with an order, that I gave at the beginning: he who takes even one Mark of this is a dead man. A number of SS men have offended against this order. They are very few, and they will be dead men WITHOUT MERCY! We have the moral right, we had the duty to our people, to kill this people who would kill us. We however do not have the right to enrich ourselves with even one fur, with one Mark, with one cigarette, with one watch, with anything. That we do not have. Because we don't want, at the end of all this, to get sick and die from the same bacillus that we have exterminated. I will never see it happen that even one . . . bit of putrefaction comes in contact with us, or takes root in us. On the contrary, where it might try to take root, we will burn it out together. But altogether we can say: We have carried out this most difficult task for the love of our people. And we have suffered no defect within us, in our soul, in our character.

Posen speech (with English translation) on YouTube

Holocaust Controversies, Index of Published Evidence on Mass Extermination in Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau

In this episode, Jack is joined by special guest Rob from The Right Podcast, creator of intimidatingly detailed yet somehow also accessible and enjoyable shows covering subjects from US domestic right-wing extremism to Russian right-wing extremism, Russia and Ukraine, National Bolshevism, etc.

We have a chat about the populist US 'People's Party' - presidential candidate: Jimmy Dore - and their composition, actual politics, and internal scandals, including their recent disgraceful tweet thread of rape apologia.

The conversation ranges over Dore and Caleb Maupin (and his tendency) to Putin and Russia, Greenwald, the 'alt-imperialist' left, the theories of Dugin and their influence, and misinformation, including Oliver Stone's disinfo 'documentary Ukraine on Fire.

Rob's channel and videos come highly recommended.

We here at IDSG have lots of great stuff in the pipeline... but the pipeline is taking a little longer to construct than we'd like. So here is a bonus episode - originally published in June last year and previously available only to Patreon backers - featuring us in conversation with our old friend, podcasting legend James Murphy, about Grant Naylor's novel Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, based on the TV series.

Plus access to all other bonus episodes.

So, Daniel and Jack recorded a bonus episode on 1998's Primary Colors (the Mike Nichols movie, written by Elaine May, starring John Travolta and Emma Thompson, based on the originally Anonymous roman-à-clef about the 1992 Bill Clinton primary campaign) for their Patreon contributors... and, as the discussion ranged widely, it somehow turned into something they wanted to release on the main feed.

This time Daniel and Jack welcome special guest José, brilliant YouTube essayist, for a chat about Elijah Schaffer and José's recent video about him and the US Christian Right. We also sorely try the good man's patience with much frivolity and digression. Things get giggly when we start talking about Glen Beck's novels. A thoroughly good time, this one... before we begin our descent back into hell next time...
