The Futility Consensus

The documentary White Noise (2020) follows three very prominent members of the alt-right (you’ll be familiar with all of them, folks) as their fortunes rise and fall during the Trump era. We discuss the ethics of interviewing/”platforming” ideological enemies, the differing aesthetic styles of various alt-right personalities, and what happens to political “scenes” during periods of eclipse. PLUS: Luke takes stock of the Canadian Conservative leadership race, and Liam Neeson makes a movie about the U.S./Mexico border.
