| 0:00.0 | Hey Deservant listeners, this is chapter 2 in our deep dive on modern Nazis or neo-Nazis or contemporary white supremacy. |
| 0:10.3 | Let's get into it, what do you say, Berto? Let's do it. This is the psychology and |
| 0:14.5 | Seattle podcast. I'm your host Dr Kirkhana. I'm a therapist and a professor. |
| 0:18.0 | My name is Umberto Casagnana and I use toothpicks as sailboats. Okay, so before getting to your outline, Burdo, and following the story of how we are here today, |
| 0:29.4 | because you, last chapter, went into detail about the mythological roots of a lot of this ideology. |
| 0:36.2 | Right and so you know the Aryan race and all that kind of stuff, you know really interesting stuff that I didn't know. |
| 0:43.0 | And so I thought as an intro to this chapter, |

| 1:35.2 | that don't consider themselves to be neo-Nazis were potentially threatened by this because |
| 1:39.1 | of their ideology of racism. |
| 1:41.0 | And then Donald Trump gets elected and you know it could be argued that he got elected at least in part because |
| 1:47.0 | he was overt about his racism. |
| 1:50.5 | Borders specifically are a very big part of modern nationalists and you know traditionally |
| 1:56.6 | nationalist movements you know the borders are very important ironically you know borders were not respected and invasions did happen, but in World War II and whatnot. |
| 2:05.8 | But the point is that your national pride, your national identity without borders and without |
