\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

January<\/strong> (5)<\/p>\n

A flying start: three posts dedicated to Yeah Nah Pasaran! (interviews with Becca Lewis<\/a>, Marc-Andr\u00e9 Argentino<\/a> and Megan Kelly<\/a>) plus one taking note of a failed coup<\/a> and another about some nazis going camping<\/a> in The Grampians.<\/p>\n

February<\/strong> (8)<\/p>\n

More Yeah Nahs! (Sabine Volk<\/a>, Ashton Kingdon<\/a>, Michael Colborne<\/a> and Vincent Bevins<\/a>), all while Proud Boy Jarrad Searby was keeping busy<\/a> threatening pensioners (and preparing for RaHoWa in Albury-Wodonga), my Facebook page<\/a> and Twitter account<\/a> copped some flak, and I asked myself: Where have all the second-hand bookshops in regional Victoria gone?<\/a>.<\/p>\n

March<\/strong> (10)<\/p>\n

YNP! featured H.E. Upchurch<\/a>, Maik Fielitz<\/a>, Stanislav Vysotsky<\/a> and Jason Wilson<\/a>, National Socialist Network lvl boss Tom Sewell made a commotion<\/a> outside A Current Affair<\/em>, while I made a list<\/a> of anti-fascist podcasts, promoted<\/a> a fundraiser for Jock Palfreeman, RAFWWU trying to unionise<\/a> Readings and CUPUW holding<\/a> a summit, and posted<\/a> a rare antifa notes on Based\/Proud\/Nazi\/Lads.<\/p>\n

April<\/strong> (6)<\/p>\n

For this month’s episodes of YNP! we spoke to Joe Mulhall<\/a>, Mette Wiggen<\/a>, M R. X. Dentith<\/a> and Ashley Mattheis<\/a>. I also published a token post for May Day and about Tom Sewell & National Socialist Network ~vs~ Counter-Terrorism & Blair Cottrell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

May<\/strong> (10)<\/p>\n

Happy May Day!<\/a>, I said \/ To no one there \/ And no one heard at all \/ Not even the chair. Meanwhile, the spectre of anarchist communism<\/a> has raised its ghostly head in the Antipodes, there was some ANTIFA 4 DHADJOWA<\/a>, Balwyn prat Tom Sewell went to jail<\/a>, Moda Kitchen was proud to commit commercial suicide<\/a> and I asked The United Patriots Front : Where Are They Now?<\/a>.<\/p>\n

*For radio, we spoke to Blyth Crawford, Shannon E. Reid, Christopher Mathias and Natasha Lennard.<\/p>\n

June<\/strong> (6)<\/p>\n

Apart from yarning with Bethan Johnson<\/a>, Alex Hinton<\/a> and Julie Gottlieb<\/a>, I wrote a bit about the legal difficulties<\/a> confronting an aspiring dictator from Melbourne’s leafy east, some bad satire<\/a>, and what happened<\/a> when ye olde fash0 peddler went to Supanova in Sydney.<\/p>\n

July<\/strong> (5)<\/p>\n

Cam took over hosting duties for most of July’s YNP! episodes, talking to Jason Wilson, Kaz Ross, Tal Lavin and Tom Tanuki, while I joined him to speak with Mike Rothschild<\/a> about Kew. We also raised over $2,000 for 3CR’s annual radiothon, which was nice, different and unusual. Otherwise, RAFFWU tried<\/a> to organise BRTD and neo-Nazi serial pest Neil Erikson was briefly imprisoned<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n

August<\/strong> (5)<\/p>\n

After Cam conversed with first Byron Clark<\/a> and Benjamin Fogel<\/a>, I rejoined him in order to talk to the crew from The Empire Never Ended<\/a> and then 12 Rules For What<\/a> podcasts. (Oh, and Ariel Bogle<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

In August, I also took a moment to mourn<\/a> the loss of long-running batshit proprietarian blog ‘Catallaxy Files’ and to consider an important expos\u00e9 of local nazis in 9Fairfax ~versus~ National Socialist Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

September<\/strong> (7)<\/p>\n

Yeah Nah Cam spoke to Steph Halmhofer<\/a> in September while I joined him to speak to Pam Nilan<\/a>, Sophie Bjork-James<\/a> and Cristina Moreno-Almeida<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, I tried to Help anarchists from Afghanistan escape the Taliban!<\/a>, examined the trials and tribulations of Australia’s leading neo-Nazi groupuscule the National Socialist Network<\/a> and wrote a bit about plague rats attacking the CFMEU<\/a> office in the city.<\/p>\n

And ah, there’s also A Brief Guide To The Australian Far Right (September 2021 Edition)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

October<\/strong> (6)<\/p>\n

In October we spoke to Alex Mendela<\/a>, Cas Mudde<\/a> and Jason Wilson<\/a> and I wrote some (more) bullshit<\/a> inre Jeremy Salt, protest and the CFMEU, a bit<\/a> more about the CFMEU (and COVIDIOTs), and published another, token edition of antifa notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

November<\/strong> (5)<\/p>\n

In November, Yeah Nah Pasaran! featured the sparkling talents of Daphne Halikiopoulou<\/a>, Vashti Fox<\/a>, Tom Tanuki<\/a> and Van Badham<\/a> (oh and Steven Monacelli<\/a>). I also wrote a lonesome, solitary post about Melbourne, Plague Rats, Nazis, Grifters, Cliev & Pied Pipers (Rally on November 20)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

December<\/strong> (3)<\/p>\n

And at the end of a shitful year? Interviews with Sahana Udupa<\/a> and Ryan Broderick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A funny thing happened on the way to the cemetery<\/em> and billionaire philantropists may be interested in my Patreon<\/a> — but probably aren’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
