I Don't Speak German

Another of our occasional movie episodes, this time looking at famous (and bad) 90s movie American History X starring Edward Norton as a neo-Nazi skinhead. Content warnings apply. Also, we introduce our new theme music, courtesy of Lune the Band.

The final (for now) part of of coverage of the IDW's Weinstein brothers.  Back to Eric, with special reference to his boss Peter Thiel and the Gawker affair, Eric's response to Becca Lewis' Alternative Influence Report, and to Eric's thoughts on BLM and the current protests.  Warnings Apply.   Notes/Links: Owen Thomas, Gawker, "Peter Thiel is Totally Gay, People." https://gawker.com/335894/peter-t...

We return, apologetic for the delay, with the next part of our investigation into the Weinstein brothers (no, the other ones).  This time, it's Eric - mathematician, hedgefund manager, cultural commentator, founder of the Intellectual Dark Web (or at least of the name), and persecuted/suppressed victim of conspiracies (to hear him tell it anyway).  We don't always cover Nazis.  Sometimes we have t...

This week, Daniel and Jack discuss Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, two alumni of the Intellectual Dark Web, their 'origin story' as 'public intellectuals' in the Evergreen College kerfuffle of 2017, and their current views on Black Lives Matter and Trans Rights as expressed in their Dark Horse podcast. Jack gets angry and giggly. Next week, we will move on to Bret's brother Eric Weinstein. Cont...

In this bumper episode, Daniel tells Jack all about the recent response to us by Matt Heimbach and Jesse Morton on their Walk on the Right Side podcast.  Also, we do a news roundup, taking in Camilla Long, Lauren Southern, Andrew Neil, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool and Hank Hill; Tucker Carlson and his writer Blake Neff, recently revealed as a racist forum poster; the arrest of Steven Baca; and the latest...

Daniel and Jack skip back a bit to re-examine the raging transphobia on display from the 'Right Stuff' crew, as evidenced with clips in IDSG 52.  Also, some 'LUL News' and general 'TRS News'. Content Warning .  Notes/Links: IDSG Episode 52 and 53 Jack's article Schoep's tweets:

In this edition of IDSG, recorded less than 48 hours ago at the time of publication but already looking like an artefact of a dimly-recalled epoch, we talk about the savage 'ropeless lynching' of George Floyd by police, the subsequent explosion of protest and repression that has rocked the US, and a little bit about Trump's escalatingly bloodthirsty fascistic rantings.  Daniel addresses the questi...

This time, we chat about our previous episode, ' 52: Genocide and The Right Stuff '.  Hopefully more interesting that it sounds.  Content Warning. IDSG episodes 9 , 16 and 17

A classic, back-to-basics, oldskool episode in which Daniel tells Jack all about a very nasty (and racist trivia-obsessed) specimen, Michael J. Thompson, who chooses to (sometimes) go by the online alias 'Paul Kersey', which is the name of Charles Bronson's character in Death Wish ... y'know, the movie in which a middle-class architect becomes a serial killer, and murders loads of poor petty-crimi...

This week we at Chez IDSG are honoured to be joined by special guest Emily Gorcenski, who joins Daniel to talk about the one-man motherlode of nasty and stupid that is Christopher 'Crying Nazi' Cantwell.  Buckle up, my darlings.

We start 2020 with what was meant to be our 2019 Christmas Special, a very roundabout chat about the disturbingly-relevant-to-today 1999 film Fight Club .  Not a typical episode, if you're new around here... but we do this sort of thing from time to time.
