Episode 03 - Eggs and Oil: Eco-fascism, ideologues, and the NZ shooter manifesto (with special guest Johnny Lupinacci)

WARNING: The following episode of Public Space Travel is a critical discourse analysis of the manifesto written by the shooter who committed the New Zealand massacre on March 15, 2019. As such, this episode contains material that some may find disturbing and/or triggering. We have chosen to intentionally refrain from using the shooter’s name.
Public Space Travel stands unwavering against hate, bigotry, and oppression in all of its forms. May this episode help comrades and allies better understand the twisted ideas and sick justifications inside the minds of the alt-right. We hope this episode will agitate and inoculate the left and their allies from these abhorrent alt-right beliefs.
Now, more than ever, do we need to organize in solidarity against all oppression. We cannot delay.

On this episode of PST, we are joined by Johnny Lupinacci, eco-critical scholar and professor of Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education, to discuss the ideology of eco-fascism presented in the manifesto of the Christchurch, New Zealand shooter; how these alt-right ideas are spread on the internet, functioning as an informal learning space of bigotry; as well as some related commentary regarding “whiteness” and “white-fragility,” which we will explore in greater detail in an upcoming episode of PST.

Public Space Travel is a podcast dedicated to social/political critique, comedy, and education. Coming from an anti-hierarchy/oppression perspective, we aim for progressive/radical left solidarity with brothers/sisters/trans and non-binary folk of all stripes.
