Interesting and worth a listen

The host exposes how these groups are started and run by broken people without sensationalizing their hate

Following Safe ,

The most absurd premise I have ever heard

Yikes are we back in 1960. What a bunch of hate and propaganda trust the CBC

@2324 ,

Very enlightening

Still haven’t listened to the whole series and not sure if this will be discussed. It just seems like ISIS all over again. Organizers targeting young men who are struggling in life and using their anger to push their agenda. So sad to see the same thing over and over again.
