IDSG

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.

I Don't Speak German

In a companion piece to the last public bonus, Daniel and Jack discuss Adam McKay's Vice from 2018, a dense metafictional dramedy biopic of Dick Cheney, unofficial president during the George W. Bush years and architect of the 'War on Terror'. An interesting movie, possibly as flawed as it is brilliant.

127: January 6th and the Second Trump Presidency

Jack is joined by friend (and friend-of-the-show), the writer George Daniel Lea, to talk about the online phenomenon known as 'Estranged Parents' or the 'Estranged Parents Movement'. George did a deep dive and is here to tell us about what he found. It turns out to be a lot more relevant to IDSG than it might seem at first glance!

In researching this episode, and compiling a suite of clips of the infamous Estranged Parent content creator Diane, Jack made extensive use of the work of Maximmino on YouTube, who has covered this subject at length. https://www.youtube.com/@Maximmmino
 
Here is Maximmino's video on Diane's infamous deleted video, from which Jack harvested several clips. https://youtu.be/SpSRkNYUiAw?si=Af4kRPvMg2PQJ57i

News Brief: The First Ten Million Years of the Second Trump Presidency

Jack and Daniel welcome to the show Craig A. Johnson - academic, researcher, antifascist, and host of the (excellent) podcast 15 Minutes of Fascism - to chat about his (excellent) new book How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism, a primer on today's fascist and far-right, in all their styles and iterations, aimed at people worried that a young person in their lives (most especially a young man, obviously) is being sucked into the darkness.

128: How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism, with Craig A. Johnson

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.

In our second episode, Daniel tells Jack all about former KKK Grand Wizard, "king of the angry Facebook grampas", and man who wrote an autobiography that it then took him 42 hours to record himself reading, 'Dr' David Duke.

I Don't Speak German, Episode 2: David Duke

In this episode, which runs a bit longer than the first two, and which goes to some very dark places, Daniel tells Jack all about the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, 2017.
 
The episode features discussions of violence, and we try to signpost when we're getting into the painful details. But warnings definitely apply from the start. We're discussing virulent racism and bigotry.
 
(Also, we're on iTunes and YouTube now.)
 
Of necessity, we're only glancing at this incredibly big and complex subject, so we're going to be coming back to many of the issues, organisations, and persons mentioned.
 
And here are some notes, sources, and references.
 
(Oh, P.S. Fun fact... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped into Hbomberguy's Donkey Kong charity Twitch stream as we recorded this.)

Daniel has curated a selection of clips relating to the subjects touched on in this episode. Beware, some of these clips feature people like Jason Kessler and Mike Enoch being vile. Here.
 
David Futrelle's blog We Hunted the Mammoth, is a good source for lots of information about the far-right in its many forms. The blog originally tracked the 'Manosphere' (i.e. MRAs, Incels, etc) but has increasingly tracked online hate more generally as the Manosphere joined up with and fed into the so-called 'alt-right', Trumpism, etc.
 
Here's his post on nazis mocking the murder of Heather Heyer in their memes...
 
...and here's his post on the Daily Caller's call for people to run over protestors. 
 
And here is the video we refer to in the episode, 'Charlottesville: The True Alt-Right' by Shaun - excellent stuff.
