Normalizing Hate

Far-right extremists are often opposed to values such as equality—especially the idea that all races are equal. They reject the notion that America is a country comprised of immigrants and that the government has a role in preventing and prosecuting discrimination. But why? In this episode of Big World, SIS professor Carole Gallaher joins us to discuss America’s relationship with far-right extremism and its movements, groups, and people (1:25). She breaks down who is most likely to engage with extremist ideals (3:26), and we learn how those ideals are becoming normalized by President Trump (8:07). What is the purpose of using the word “nationalist” in far-right political rhetoric? (11:15) Has “nationalism” always been a ‘dog whistle’ for racist politics, or has the word ever connoted a more neutral meaning? (12:53) We discuss the observable patterns of right-wing extremist violence (13:45) and discuss the efficacy of right-wing movements in solving the issues that initially mobilized extremists (20:09). Gallaher introduces us to the world of alt-right Twitter, and we learn more about “do-it-yourself” radicalization on the internet (21:25). During our “Take Five” segment, we ask Gallaher about the top five ways she would counter far-right extremism (16:41).
