Oh cool a podcast normalizing the alt-right and treating a white power separatist as heroic and misunderstood? Hard pass.

I truly hope they reevaluate the way in which they are telling this story. I’m done tuning in to a podcast that upholds white supremacist culture.”

“Professionally done, well investigated and interviewed. Easy to get through since it’s short too. This was a big precursor to the Waco standoff and why the govt reacted to that as they did, so I found it doubly interesting.”
