Episode description

Wellness and sustainability and environmentalism, oh my. These communities have long histories of overlap with fascism, serving as breeding grounds for fascist demagogues, and fascist groups invariably have roots in traditionalism, populism, and purity - uncomfortable. 

We dive into these roots, the modern day manifestations, and what we can do to be aware of, and push back against, fascistic tendencies in the climate community. 

If you liked what Angelica had to say here about fascism, then you'll love her show Half Measures and Hope - she dives into the political history of Australia and how it's engaged with climate, race, representative democracy, with some great stuff coming up. Subscribe now!
