It is with deep sadness that I have to report the passing of Chip Berlet. He was one of the few people to consistently research and organize against the U.S. Far Right from the 1970s through the '00s. His co-authored 2000 book "Right-Wing Populism in America" unfortunately remains all-to-relevant.
Chip Berlet (1949-2026)

When neo-fascists began to be followed and recorded, it was Chip that was the one who made the first moves. He gave us the blueprint that antifascist researchers go by today. Thank you, Chip, we will take it from here.

Given that any historical Helen would be 4’ nothing and darker than me, one is forced to conclude that Charlie is offended by Lupita because his notion of ‘Western Civilization’ is largely based on sword and sandal movies he saw as a kid in the fifties

a timely 🧵 re child harm & the Satanic Panic of the late twentieth century
This video was taken during my keynote talk on Jack Chick and the Satanic Panic at Boston College. I concluded with my personal reasons for wanting to study it in the first place. With the latest release of the Epstein files, I felt it was appropriate to share. Alt. text in the following posts

There is a story here that deserves to be told in its entirety, just for its core literary depiction of what, exactly, Richard Dawkins is.
To add to this, Richard Dawkins (biologist). Complaining about Rebecca Watson. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Really great thread on the 15-minute city conspiracy theory.
Also, the RW commitment to social atomisation by transportation is quite the drug.
Ok, let’s do this🙄

We’ll start with an explainer covering:

🕒What is a 15-minute city
🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford
👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from

And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article

The reactionary right has collectively written a trillion column inches on "whatever happened to discussing bold new ideas?" - and literally the only "ideas" they've ever had are "rich people should own everything" and "blame foreigners"

It's new Wrong Speed Records release announcement day! Rejoice!

WSR082 is "A Plague Of Gimps", the 2nd solo album by EDWIN R STEVENS.

We know we're fond of (polite, realistic) hyperbole at WSHQ but this one might be the best album that's ever landed in our laps...

Seeing lots of hospitality business owners on TV complaining about the cost of increases in the minimum wage. Rather fewer people on minimum wage being asked what that extra 50p an hour has meant for them.

The thread nobody asked for! Unsolicited trivia about my coming book "Medievalism, Popular Culture and Politics in Metal Music: The Case of Hispanic Epic Themes". Everything you did not want to know about the Metal Music Studies publication you were not waiting for (but are now!).
