The day just isn't complete without a tiresome retread of freeze peach rhetorical tropes. Oh, it's "important to engage with and understand" white supremacy. That's why we need to boost the voices of white supremacists! And give them money!

I think it’s important to engage with and understand a range of views even if—especially if—you disagree with them. Hanania is an influential voice for some in U.S. politics—his recent book, for instance, was published by HarperCollins—and there is value in knowing his arguments.

"Wait wait hold on guys, this abhorrent fascist genocidal white supremacist transphobic sexist holocaust denying Nazi was published by Harper Collins. Harper. Collins. That means there is value in hearing his perspective on my podcast!"

  • The Dolly Parton Activity Book: An Unofficial Lovefest
  • Duck, Duck, Dinosaur: Bubble Blast
  • The Wild Uknown Tarot Deck and Guidebook
  • Peterson Field Guide to Birds of Eastern & Central North America
