Things are getting weird out there. in these days leading to the 2024 election, in Maine and across the country, hard right extremists are trying to destroy democracy. In this episode, we discuss strategies on how to fight the fash, starting with a conversation with author Mira Ptacin about the philosophical concept of “the paradox of tolerance” and how we should not tolerate intolerance. Then we speak to antifascist researcher Kate Ross about her work exposing chuds who try to hide behind masks and fake name. And we talk to investigative journalist Claire Goforth about her NAZI-LAND series for The Daily Dot, during which she travels to Maine, Idaho, Virginia before returning back to her Jacksonville stomping grounds to report on chud efforts to set up communities based upon hate.
You can read "No Hugs for Chuds, Part One" via The Crash Report on substack here which goes into great detail on the newly identified second-in-command of the Blood Tribe, a 23-year-old pagan, hitler-worshoping incel with an appetite for fisticuffs who goes by the name Nate Higgers.
