Summary
More than two years ago, concerned about the newly resurgent fascist fringe in America and elsewhere, Daniel Harper, a lefty podcaster and online writer, started investigating the so-called 'alt-right'.
He's gone where few other researchers have gone, and actually subjected himself to hours and hours of the many podcasts and Youtube shows produced by the multifarious people and groups who make up this pernicious and dangerous subculture. He's listened, at length, to what they say to each other in their own spaces. And, having done the listening so you don't have to, he's back with his reports.
This new podcast series features Daniel in conversation with his friend and fellow podcaster Jack Graham.
Here's the first episode, on perhaps the best-known representative of the 'alt-right', Richard Spencer, his career, style, and ideology. The episode also touches on the origins of the term 'alt-right', the infamous 'heilgate' occurance after Trump's election, etc.
We're discussing fascism and racism, so this podcast comes with big warnings.
(This is a re-edit and a re-up.)
The next episode will be on a more old-school fascist, David Duke, former Klan 'Grand Wizard' who spoke at Charlottesville.
Future episodes will continue to cover one 'topic' per show. We plan to keep the episodes as short as possible, and crank them out regularly.

| 0:00.0 | Greetings fellow cucks, snowflakes, soyboys and Antifa super soldiers. |
| 0:04.8 | And welcome to I don't speak German, the podcast in which I get Daniel Harper, |
| 0:09.4 | internet lefty person and my friend and colleague to tell me what he learned and heard during more |
| 0:14.5 | than two years of listening to and reading what the alt-right which is |
| 0:18.8 | really the far-right say to each other in their safe spaces, their podcasts, their YouTube videos etc. |
| 0:24.5 | We're going to be tackling a single subject per episode and this first episode is about |
| 0:30.3 | Richard Spencer. |
| 0:31.6 | We're going to be discussing racists and racism and |
| 0:34.7 | fascism generally so trigger warnings definitely apply. Okay first question |
| 0:40.0 | how would you define what you've been researching Daniel to to sort of the casual |
| 0:44.9 | listeners uh Normies I would I would say broadly the alt-right although alt-right |
| 0:49.8 | is not a term that I like to use very much. |
| 0:53.0 | Because it's really nebulous. |
| 0:57.0 | It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. |
| 0:59.0 | It's kind of intentionally that. |
| 1:01.0 | It's kind of always served that purpose. |
| 1:04.0 | In fact, I mean, I think we'll kind of get into sort of the origins of the term here in a second. |
| 1:09.0 | But, you know, there's no really clear definition that's sort of universally applicable as to like who is and is not alt right and |
| 1:20.4 | most of the figures who even kind of work within that kind of broad movement will sort of like define themselves relative to this term or they will kind of like say oh I'm not outright because they're meaning it to mean you know kind of one particular you know |
| 1:36.1 | definition of it well yeah it's just it's just it's just really it's not a clear term and so I try not to use it and there are other |
| 1:45.2 | kind of like subgroups within what is kind of broadly called the alt-right who you know I try to more use sort of their you know terms and kind of like how they define themselves as being slightly more clear or at least you know not as |
| 2:01.6 | prone to misuse as alt-right I mean a dissident right or a nationalist right or you know just |
