A deep dive into the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville 2017, exploring the rise of far-right movements, Trump's stance on controversial groups, and the fragmentation of nationalist groups. Delving into the chaotic events and police incompetence during the rally, the episode also unmasks the deceptive nature of the alt-right movement and false narratives within the far-right. Critiquing key figures and exploring the impact of extremist ideologies on society.

Former KKK Grand Wizard, David Duke, discusses his controversial past, political campaigns, time in Russia, and alignment with libertarian ideas. The podcast explores Duke's complex political career, involvement in mainstream politics, founding of NAAWP, and exploitation of rural resentment towards coastal elites. It also touches on diet obsession in subcultures, optics, white identity politics, anti-Semitic pamphlets, and David Duke's presence at Unite the Right in Charlottesville.

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.
