Because of the way the internet works and because of, you know, not just as a, as a consequence of the internet, but also as a consequence of the internet but also as a consequence of the work that hundreds of fascist activists have put in over decades recruiting on the internet you now

have what is effectively an insurgency in the United States. You're listening to War College, a weekly podcast that brings you the stories from behind the

front lines.

Here are your hosts. Most. Hello, welcome to War College. I am your host Matthew Galt. Kevin O'Dell, the producer

is ever is waiting in the wings. Fascism. It's back and it's ironic. From

Hungary to Brazil to the United States of America, fascism, yes fascism, is back in a

big way. When our grandfathers beat back the Nazis in World War II, we assumed we'd beaten the ideology into dust.

The problem is that fascism isn't so much a coherent set of beliefs as it is a mutation, perversion, and reaction to the politics of the moment.

The truth is, fascism is as American as apple pie, and it's been lingering in the wings for years.

Here with us today to talk about the neo-fascist movement

and its rise to current prominence is Robert Evans.

Evans works with Bellingcat and is the host of the Behind the Bastards podcast

and is just published an audiobook,

The War on Everyone, that charts the Rise of America's Fascists.

Robert, thank you so much for joining us.

Thanks for having me.

All right, so last time you were on the show, we talked a lot about Portland and you were back in

Portland recently, right? What did you see there? What were you covering?
