  • You need to listen to this!

    Dr. Johnson is very thorough in his review of current fascist activities throughout the world. While you may have already heard the news he discusses, he explains how each news item increases the fascist takeover of many countries in the world.

  • Antizionism is not antisemitism

    Honestly was excited to have a new podcast to listen to after a friends recommendation but within five minutes the host implied that criticizing Israel is anti-Semitic, which is both inaccurate and incredibly offensive! Please don’t associate all Jews with the actions of this genocidal state. Claiming to be antifascist while defending fascist Israel is a poor choice.

Q: Can you just describe your project?
My dissertation analyzes how language, rhetoric, and online subcultures—especially gaming and anime communities—shaped the evolution of right-wing organizing online, tracing paths from forums like 4chan to broader conservative movements and how contemporary messaging takes form in memes and short-form video.
