Episode 21 – Sex and Gender and Nazis (with CV Vitolo-Haddad)
Another great guest this week. Daniel is joined by CV Vitolo-Haddad to talk about sex, gender, misogyny, and transmisogyny on the far right.
(Note: This is late; sorry about that. Also, we encountered technical difficulties with this one. It’s been cleaned up as much as possible and is perfectly listenable if you’re prepared to briefly tolerate some occasional background noise.)
All sorts of content warnings.

Episode 22 – Sam Harris (is not a nazi)
Another departure for the show as Daniel and Jack chat about Sam Harris, inexplicably popular professional atheist, Intellectual Dark Webber, thought-experimenter, devil’s advocate, mysteriously perennial victim of malicious context-removal, and definitely not a member of the far-right.

Nevertheless, we think he’s relevant to our discussion.
Something of a cathartic experience for both of us. We had fun.

SPLC: McInnes, Molyneux, and 4chan: Investigating pathways to the alt-right
“The “skeptics” movement — whose adherents claim to challenge beliefs both scientific and spiritual by questioning the evidence and reasoning that underpin them — has also helped channel people into the alt-right by way of “human biodiversity.” Sam Harris has been one of the movement’s most public faces, and four posters on the TRS thread note his influence.…
