·33 min·3 clips

Daniel Harper has listened to Nazi podcasts several hours a day for eight years, uncovering online communities most people never see.

This episode of 'Fifteen Minutes of Fascism' features an interview with Daniel Harper and Jack Graham, hosts of the podcast 'I Don't Speak German.' Daniel explains his background of listening to Nazi podcasts for about eight years, researching online fascist communities. Jack describes how they started the podcast in 2019 to provide an outlet for Daniel's extensive knowledge. They discuss changes in right-wing culture, noting that neo-Nazis initially supported Trump but later rejected him as 'too Jewed up,' embracing more extreme ideologies. The conversation highlights the mainstreaming of far-right ideas, with examples like Jack Posobiec evolving from attending events with figures like Mike Enoch to becoming a mainstream voice. Daniel and Jack address the challenges of their work, including the mental health impact and the need to include audio clips because listeners often disbelieve their reports. They explain the podcast's title, 'I Don't Speak German,' as a metaphor for translating the obscure language of online fascism. Looking ahead, they predict that under a future Trump administration, anti-Semitism will become more covert but pervasive, with policies targeting groups like migrants and trans people. They emphasize the importance of humor and sincerity in discussing such dark topics. The episode concludes with information on how to find their podcast and Patreon accounts.
