In 2021 the Society for Cultural Anthropology asked me to be part of their Hot Spots editors’ forum on American Fascism. This week, we authors are revisiting our essays in a Zoom roundtable to consider the current political ecology in the US. Registration information below.

Also: Here’s an example of the type of men who convert and then become online Orthodox guides for young dudes. Andrew converted last winter. He and his wife are online debaters who spew filth (slurs, threats, and swear words) at anyone who disagrees with their social politics.

I’ve been sounding the alarm about the conservative American Christian interest in post-Soviet Russia (and Russian Orthodoxy) for a long time. Is it more obvious now?

They’re just saying the quiet part out loud now. At least this trash heap of a document is out before I finish my book manuscript on fascism, racism, and online Orthodoxy. The Orthodox convert fascination with Codreanu is an expression of the religious far right’s interest in social control.
