Hello and welcome to episode 12 of I don't speak German the podcast in which I

Jack Graham talked to my friend Daniel Harper about what he learned from more than two

years of listening to the American far right talk to each other in their online safe spaces their

podcast their YouTube videos etc and as I say this is episode 12 and this week we are

going to be talking about the big orange one himself president Donald Trump and specifically more

specifically anyway about how the alt rights see him and again more specifically still

about through the lens of something called

Fash the nation which is also going to lead us into a little bit of discussion about

how Daniel got into this project in the first place but yeah first of all, hi Daniel, I understand we do have some a little bit of Cantwell news, don't we?

There's always more Cantwell news. There's always always more Cantwell news. In this case, Christopher Cantwell got banned from Gab, the

free speech Nazi platform. He actually got kicked off and he is not very happy about it.

Obviously you know he was pretty much the number one user on the platform and

there's been some kind of like bad blood between him and

the kind of the guy who runs the thing Andrew Torba for a little while they've had some

best steps in the past.

Christopher Cantwell involved in a squabble?

I know, it's shocking, such a mild and moderate man there, but I would like to say that I, you know, the, so Gab, the Gab kind of official

account put out a statement about this and, you know, basically said, you know, we're not, you know basically said you know we're not you know

Gabby's like Nazi Twitter isn't it? It's Nazi Twitter right it's Nazis and ISIS

mostly Nazis any kind of a a quote unquote free speech platform

ends up kind of becoming that pretty quickly. It's a delightful place to go hang

out. No, it's not. don't bother. It's fine.
