I Don't Speak German

In this episode, Daniel and Jack make their first assault on the mountain of bullshit, bile, and batshittery that is Christopher 'the Crying Nazi' Cantwell.

In this episode, Daniel and Jack make their first assault on the mountain of bullshit, bile, and batshittery that is Christopher 'the Crying Nazi' Cantwell.

In this episode, Daniel tells Jack about the aftermath of the disastrous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville 2017. They also get a tad more theoretical about some of the reasons for some of the behaviour of the 'alt-right', and chat about some related issues such as the recent controversy concerning the Covington MAGA kids.

In this episode, Daniel tells Jack about the aftermath of the disastrous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville 2017.  They also get a tad more theoretical about some of the reasons for some of the behaviour of the 'alt-right', and chat about some related issues such as the recent controversy concerning the Covington MAGA kids.

In this episode, which runs a bit longer than the first two, and which goes to some very dark places, Daniel tells Jack all about the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, 2017.

The episode features discussions of violence, and we try to signpost when we're getting into the painful details. But warnings definitely apply from the start. We're discussing virulent racism and bigotry.

(Also, we're on iTunes and YouTube now.)

Of necessity, we're only glancing at this incredibly big and complex subject, so we're going to be coming back to many of the issues, organisations, and persons mentioned.

And here are some notes, sources, and references.

(Oh, P.S. Fun fact... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped into Hbomberguy's Donkey Kong charity Twitch stream as we recorded this.)

NOTES

Firstly, everyone interested in this should follow and support Emily Gorcenski and Molly (Socialist Dog Mom) on Twitter.

Here's Emily's livestream of the tiki torch rally

Here's Molly's podcast The Trial of James Alex Fields

First Vigil - tracking fascist violence

Texts between Jason Kessler (UtR organiser), Richard Spencer, other UtR participants:

SPLC/Hatewatch

Document at DocumentCloud

Unite the Right poster

Enoch and The Right Stuff crew photo with Taylor Wilson and James Alex Fields (tweet from Sandi Bachom):

Jason Kessler tweets about Heather Heyer after Charlottesville

Hunter Wallace (Brad Griffin) smears Heather Heyer.

White Boner's conspiracy theory video

Alex McNabb, the 'Nazi EMT'

Daniel has curated a selection of clips relating to the subjects touched on in this episode. Beware, some of these clips feature people like Jason Kessler and Mike Enoch being vile. Here.

David Futrelle's blog We Hunted the Mammoth, is a good source for lots of information about the far-right in its many forms. The blog originally tracked the 'Manosphere' (i.e. MRAs, Incels, etc) but has increasingly tracked online hate more generally as the Manosphere joined up with and fed into the so-called 'alt-right', Trumpism, etc.

Here's his post on nazis mocking the murder of Heather Heyer in their memes...

...and here's his post on the Daily Caller's call for people to run over protestors.

And here is the video we refer to in the episode, 'Charlottesville: The True Alt-Right' by Shaun - excellent stuff.

Book: The Rise of David Duke

More than two years ago, concerned about the newly resurgent fascist fringe in America and elsewhere, Daniel Harper, a lefty podcaster and online writer, started investigating the so-called 'alt-right'. He's gone where few other researchers have gone, and actually subjected himself to hours and hours of the many podcasts and Youtube shows produced by the multifarious people and groups who make up this pernicious and dangerous subculture. He's listened, at length, to what they say to each other in their own spaces. And, having done the listening so you don't have to, he's back with his reports. This new podcast series features Daniel in conversation with his friend and fellow podcaster Jack Graham. Here's the first episode, on perhaps the best-known representative of the 'alt-right', Richard Spencer, his career, style, and ideology. The episode also touches on the origins of the term 'alt-right', the infamous 'heilgate' occurance after Trump's election, etc. We're discussing fascism and racism, so this podcast comes with big warnings.

(This is a re-edit and a re-up.) The next episode will be on a more old-school fascist, David Duke, former Klan 'Grand Wizard' who spoke at Charlottesville. Future episodes will continue to cover one 'topic' per show. We plan to keep the episodes as short as possible, and crank them out regularly.

More than two years ago, concerned about the newly resurgent fascist fringe in America and elsewhere, Daniel Harper, a lefty podcaster and online writer, started investigating the so-called 'alt-right'. 

He's gone where few other researchers have gone, and actually subjected himself to hours and hours of the many podcasts and Youtube shows produced by the multifarious people and groups who make up this pernicious and dangerous subculture.  He's listened, at length, to what they say to each other in their own spaces.  And, having done the listening so you don't have to, he's back with his reports.
