This podcast supports antifa -- end of discussion. “A bloo bloo bloo,” you might say in response, “My norm’s and notion’s of respectability!” We don’t care. People who put their bodies and livelihoods on the line to face down fascism are heroes and deserve our support. Francis and Nate discuss the recent protests in Portland, the truth to the refrain that cops and fascists work together, and a little digression about internet atheism’s total interchangeability with xenophobia.
This is the link to the story about the New Hampshire MIA/POW display that features religious imagery: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/08/18/new-hampshire-veterans-group-seeks-intervene-pow-bible-display-lawsuit.html?fbclid=IwAR3venPBMsTSiFaucJ1ccqknuzHaB2ZOOB-LR13L5utwN5_V0kXGPU4jUHY
A Portland antifa member got arrested by the famously not fascist-adjacent Portland PD. Here’s a link his legal defense GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jve5am.
