We’re covering a big topic this week: eco-fascism, an extreme far-right ideology that combines environmental concern with fascist viewpoints. In this episode, Olivia takes us through a brief history of eco-fascism, its ties to the U.S. conservation movement, and the surprising story of conservationist-turned-eugenicist Madison Grant. Then Elise tells the story of arguably one of the most famous eco-fascists, the Unabomber, who went from math wunderkind to eco-terrorist. Other topics include ways to spot early fascist thought patterns, flawed logic, and why doom is the easy route.
