Episode Description
In previous episodes, we have addressed the rise of pronatalist extremism and the potential threats posed and faced by people without children, globally. This extremism is an integral part of the ideology driven by white supremacy and fueled right-wing conspiracies, and relates directly to the focus of our show today. In this episode we are honored to have Julie Farnam as our guest. Julie is the author of the newly released book, Domestic Darkness: An Insider's Account of the January 6 Insurrection and the Future of Right-Wing Extremism. In her book, she shares her personal and expert account of the January 6 Insurrection, which happed at the US Capitol building in 2021. She will share key insight into this tragic and terrifying attack, and in our conversation, we will navigate the actions preceding this violent attack, and what actually led to this unprecedented security breach, while assessing what must be done now to ensure our future security. We will also delve into the challenging realities of how white supremacy has remained an agile predator of vulnerable individuals falling prey to right-wing ideology in rising numbers, to comprise the greatest threat to domestic security today. Tune in live for this crucial conversation with Julie Farnam to learn more about the impact of domestic extremism in the United States, and what this means for all of us.
