Hello Initiates, and welcome to Some Dare Call It Conspiracy. In this episode, we begin a two-part Deep Dive into The Turner Diaries, a novel so extreme and influential that it has become a foundational text within modern far-right and white supremacist movements.
In Part One, we work through the opening chapters of the book, examining its core ideas, its worldview, and the conspiracy thinking that underpins its narrative. The rhetoric is openly racist, misogynistic, and antisemitic, but the logic is often so warped and self-defeating that it exposes itself under even minimal scrutiny.
Using lived experience, critical analysis, and a refusal to treat hateful ideas with undue reverence, we call out the novel’s conspiratorial framing of feminism, civil rights, and social progress as existential threats. We examine how violence is normalised, how grievance is weaponised, and how absurd leaps in logic are presented as inevitable conclusions.
This is a heavy subject, but we approach it with the understanding that ridicule and clarity are powerful tools. By dismantling the book’s arguments and laughing at its contradictions, we show how brittle and incoherent these ideas really are, even when they are treated as sacred texts by extremist movements.
Throughout the episode, we reflect on how these narratives continue to echo in modern online discourse, and why challenging them openly and confidently still matters.
