Homesteading & the Right-Wing Violence of the 21st Century
Description
In last week's episode, we dove into the confluence of veterans from the Vietnam War returning home, the collapse of the agricultural sector, and the rise of white supremacy. All of these coalesced into a movement centered around white supremacy and Christianity. This week, we're exploring how this movement evolved into the 21st century. From homesteads to compounds, violence fomented between these radicals and the federal government (as well as towards non-whites and other marginalized people). How did this evolve into the more nuanced white supremacy movement that dances around acceptable forms of racism today?
