Customer Reviews
like homework, but fun
the most meticulous podcast on the American right you are ever gonna find, with great movement history but also illuminating insights on themes that extend out from conservatism into the wider culture. currently chain-listening
Know your enemy is great background supporting information
For everything you ever thought was wrong with neoliberal capitalism.
Interesting dive into conservative history and mindset
Started listening after your take over of one of 5-4s episodes and have binged half the episodes in under a week. Have got up to the episodes on Jan 6, and is Trump a fascist and find it illuminating. As someone who has enjoyed listening to Robert Evans, 5-4 and other political podcasts, this view is another great way of learning about a mindset I still find so difficult to inhabit and understand myself.
