Episode 403: Seyward Darby

Published: July 29, 2020, 4 p.m.

Seyward Darby is the editor-in-chief of\xa0The Atavist Magazine\xa0and the author of\xa0Sisters in Hate: American Women on the Front Lines of White Nationalism.\u201cThe most enlightening thing I learned in working on this book ultimately was that when we think of hate we think of animosity. Hate means I do not like someone or I do not like something. I deplore it. I despise it. But hate as a movement is actually a lot more like any social movement where it\u2019s providing something to its supporters, members, acolytes that they were seeking but didn\u2019t necessarily know where they were going to find it. So it could be camaraderie, it could be power, it could be purpose, in some cases it could be money. There\u2019s something terrifyingly mundane about that.\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp\xa0for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n\n\xa0\nThe Mastermind\nChronicles of Now\n@seywarddarby\nseywarddarby.com\n3:15\xa0"White Supremacy Was Her World.
