I Don't Speak German

And so 2020 - notable mostly for being IDSG's second year - comes to an end. This time, in a change to the advertised program, and with apologies for our absence throughout most of this last month, we return with another of our period movie discussion episodes, this time looking at D. W. Griffith's epic, lauded, infamous, three-hour, silent-era blockbuster of hate, prejudice, and bigotry, Birth of a Nation. Content warnings very much apply. The promised Part 2 of our coverage of Tom Metzger should be along as the first IDSG of the new year. Thank you all for sticking with us through thick and thin, sending us words of encouragement... and special thanks to those of you who helped us out financially. Let's hope we all have a better one in 2021. We have plans for the show in the new year, so stay tuned and stay safe.

In this episode, the first of a two-parter, Daniel tells Jack all about the new 25 Point Program of the National Justice Party, the latest venture from Mike Enoch and the Right Stuff rabble, and their hope of peeling away support from disaffected leftists using 'Third Position' rhetoric. Daniel starts going through the program point-by-point, analysing its hypocrisies and contradictions. The 'left' rhetoric is exposed by comparison with genuine left ideas and principles.

This time, after a brief obligatory discussion of current events, Daniel and Jack take one of their periodic detours into film discussion to talk about David Fincher's 2010 movie The Social Network about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook, and thus of so many of our current problems (not that the film gets that).

In this episode, after a little roundup of podcast recs, Daniel (finally) tells Jack all about the latest venture by Mike Enoch and the TRS: the National Justice Party. We listen in on their founding meeting in a barn and learn the *other* problem with the GOP according to Enoch's audience. Then we check in on Richard Spencer to see what he thinks about it all. Finally, Daniel gives Jack a short, improvised tutorial on the concept of... pardon us... 'Finkelthink', which Jack finds unwarrantedly confusing. Fun times. Election? What election would that be officer? Content Warnings Show Notes / Links: Correction: In the episode, Daniel mistakenly says TRS has moved to Lancaster, PA. It's actually Greely.

Christopher Cantwell, the 'Crying Nazi', was recently tried and convicted in a federal court in New Hampshire. As our regular listeners will know, we've been following Cantwell's fortunes for some time. In this episode, Daniel and Jack are joined by special guest, journalist and Cantwell expert Hilary Sargent, to talk about the trial, and the long, winding, bizarre, horrifying story of how we got here.

An unplanned, emergency mini-sequel to our discussion of Tim Pool just a couple of days ago. Reality, displaying its customary poor timing, waited until just after we dropped our Tim Pool episode to reveal the story of the Wolverine Watchmen, a group of militia types arrested for planning the abduction and 'trial' (i.e. murder, presumably) of Michigan Governer Gretchen Whitmer. At least one of the conspirators seems to have been part of Tim's audience; Tim has been demonizing Whitmer as a dangerous tyrant for ages; and Tim himself reacted to the story in ways that combine the hilarious, disgusting, and accidentally instructive. And so here we are. Content Warnings. Contains Tim Pool. Links / Notes: Episode 67: Tim Pool https://idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/66-tim-pool New York Times, "F.B.I.
