I Don't Speak German

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.

117: Terror in Waukesha (and the NJP)

In an episode recorded before Daryl Brooks was convicted on all counts, Daniel tells Jack all about the disgusting ways in which the National Justice Party has exploited his crimes, and other victims of other crimes.

BONUS: Hanging Out with Eiynah

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.

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.

114: Jesse Dunstan and Peaceful Ethnic Cleansing - TRS Behind the Paywall

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 (...

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.

It's our bonus episode - originally for Patreon backers only - on 2004's Downfall , the acclaimed German movie (good thing there are subtitles because... y'know) about the last days of Hitler and his assorted hangers-on in the bunker as the Red Army grind their way into Berlin.

Jack continues to tell an increasingly (and understandably) resentful Daniel all about insidious YouTube 'comedian' and political commentator Jimmy Dore, detailing his 'leftist' or 'progressive' version of reactionary politics via accounts of his slimy transphobic coverage of the Lia Thomas story (leading to a bizarre open challenge to all trans man basketball players), his frothingly misogynistic coverage of Taylor Lorenz' interview about the harassment she faces, and his insane conversation wi...

In rank defiance of all the various conflicting things we've told you Episode 105 would be about, here is an episode about 2015's (and sadly also 2022's) Lauren Southern (lying, untruth-telling nazi liar-nazi) and the mainstreaming and normalising thereof. In this episode we consider Lauren's career (in brief, owing to the fact that chronicling her trail of lies and evil acts has become something of a cottage industry for the online left), her departure from politics and regrettable return, her ...

103: Maus vs. McMinn County School Board

So, McMinn County School Board in Tennessee decided to remove Maus - Art Spiegelman's classic graphic novel about the Nazi Holocaust and historical memory - from their syllabus, on the grounds that some simply sketched mouse nudity and a few very mild swears would upset and corrupt their pupils, which is obviously very reasonable and evidence of extremely well balanced priorities. Actually, alongside the epidemic of attempts across the US to remove certain sorts of books from school libraries an...

In the second part of our Rittenhouse coverage, we start with a look at Kyle's reception as a rock star messiah at Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA and follow the thread where it leads, from more on Elijah Shaffer to Tucker Carlson and his 'Trial of Kyle' to Mike Enoch and the National Justice Party via "a twentieth century philosopher". In the process, we consider the currency of the concept of 'Anarcho-Tyranny' and how the term Blood Libel is being appropriated. Dialectical? Yeah, we're dialec...
