Summary

The modern far right often play the underdogs, shaking fists at mysterious elites said to control our thoughts and culture. But much of their lexicon has already slipped into the mainstream. Phrases born on message boards now appear in newspapers, on TV, even in everyday chat. On today’s Bunker, Dorian Lynskey talks to journalist Matt McManus, assistant professor at Spelman College and host of the Academic Edgelords podcast about the words and the warped worldview that the far right has smuggled into our politics. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Well, I'm trying their small and small Savignon Blanc from New Zealand.

0:44.7

Seth, tell me, what's your wine knowledge like?

0:50.2

Very specialised, so pretty good on things Portuguese, but non-existent on those other things.

0:50.9

How about you, Zay?

I drink most anything, but I have to say I'm really enjoying the Savignon Blanc. It's citrusy, it's got notes of gooseberry. I could just drink the whole bottle. What makes naked wines so convenient is that they deliver top quality wines right to your drawer from world-class winemakers from across the globe, whether it's a French rosé, a New Zealand reasling, or even the Lebanese syra,

Hello, welcome to the bunker, your daily dose of news without the nonsense, five days a week.

I'm Doreen Linsky. What are the far right talking about? No, seriously, schooled in clammy,
