The Rise of White Nationalism: Exploring the Online Roots of a Growing Threat with Elle Reeve

Author: Smart People Industries August 14, 2024 Duration: 55:42
In this episode, we delve into the online origins of white nationalism, a movement that has led to devastating consequences, including the deadly Charlottesville rally and the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol. We examine how social media platforms and online forums have enabled the spread of white nationalist ideologies, often under the guise of free speech. By understanding the online roots of this movement, we can better address the dangers it poses to democracy and social cohesion.
