Anyone seen Theroux meeting the far right in America yet?

Rape threats and racism feature in this alarming encounter with white nationalists who spread hate online while denying they’re fascists. Might this documentary do more harm than good?

It sounds interesting.

Kind of sounds like people we might know snip-"white nationalists who spread hate online while denying they’re fascists" who could I mean?

This line kills me... “I’m not a white nationalist … I’m a gamer”. laughcry

Theroux pushes them on their far-right politics, they almost always retreat first behind humour (there’s a reason “irony-bros” has become a recognised term), then become defensive, verbally abusive and frequently take to their shows or YouTube channels to denounce him as a “pretentious” member of the mainstream media with “a gay agenda” and so on. But if they are individually fragile, together they are increasingly strong. Which is, one presumes, a large part of the attraction. Voltron Assemble? crylaugh

This will end up in his forgotten bunch of docus. As much as he's done some of the best shows of this type and has an amazing way of teasing out answers from some of the most defensive people, when he picks boring subjects he gets boring results. These people are boring subjects.

It was on TV on... Sunday night? I caught about 15-20 mins of it. It was all right, but not nearly as provocative as his earlier stuff imo.
