How The Alt-Right Is Like An Abusive Relationship

December 2, 2019 9:33 AM

Innuendo Studios, the YouTube channel run by Ian Danskin, has been focusing on a single project - The Alt-Right Playbook, in which he dissects the strategies the alt-right uses, with his most recent episode focusing on recruitment. In a recent session recorded at Solidarity Lowell, Danskin discusses his research on the topic, as well as how the alt-right emulates both abusive relationships and cults - and how it differs.

As a bonus, the follow-up Q&A session was also recorded, with some good follow up questions from the audience.

This looks great and I'd like to watch them when I'm not at work, but in the meantime -- are there transcripts of any of the videos?
