We’re back for Part Two of our deep dive into The Turner Diaries, and if you thought things couldn’t get more outrageous, buckle up. This episode, we wade through the book’s most jaw-dropping plot twists—mass murder, drive-by bombings, and a logic so twisted it would make a pretzel jealous.
As we dissect the second half, the book’s attempts to blame “the media” for the public’s resistance to terrorism are almost as laughable as its wild leaps of logic. And then there’s the infamous claim that feminism somehow leads to the legalization of rape—a narrative so ridiculous, we had to double-check we weren’t reading satire. Spoiler: we weren’t.
Of course, the racism and antisemitism get dialed up to eleven, with the author spinning conspiracy theories that would be right at home in some of today’s darkest internet corners. But as always, we don’t just call out the hate—we skewer it with our signature humour. Sometimes, the only way to confront such absurdity is to laugh at it, and we make sure to highlight just how preposterous these arguments really are.
Throughout the episode, we reflect on how far society has come (and how far we still have to go) in challenging bigotry and hate. With Greg Hall’s insights and our own lived experiences, we draw connections between these extremist ideas and the rhetoric we see online today.
So join us as we take on the most toxic parts of The Turner Diaries - armed with critical thinking, a refusal to let hate go unchallenged, and, as always, a healthy dose of irreverence. It’s grim, it’s outrageous, but we promise it’s never boring.
