Tomorrow on Yeah Nah Pasaran!<\/a><\/em> we talk to Cat Tebaldi [Bluesky<\/a>]. Dr. Cat is a previous guest of ours, whom we spoke to about Granola Nazis<\/a> in 2023 and Metapolitical Seduction & Nazi ASMR<\/a> in 2022. In 2026, we spoke to Cat about her NEW! (ish) book, Alt-Education: Gender, Knowledge and Far-right Metapolitics<\/a><\/em> (Routledge):<\/p>\n

Alt-Education<\/em> looks at the stories the right tells about schools: a fight between an evil, indoctrinating government and a far-right freethinking truth warrior, between a frigid cultural Marxist teacher and a loving Christian mother.<\/p>\n

This book explores the link between education, gender, and far-right metapolitics, and offers insights into the ways in which it circulates and is normalized. Through digital ethnography and fieldwork it explores the production, circulation, and interpretation of these discourses and the ideologies they express, tracing their movement across four groups of women in the US and UK \u2013 fascists, white nationalist, Christian nationalists, and Republicans. Although often understood to be opposed to education, the far-right is instead opposed to schooling \u2013 and offers its own practices of alt-education. Through media, alternative schools and home education, the far-right teaches their ideologies of gender and race, knowledge, and power, as well as transmitting alternative histories, sociologies, and conspiracies. From mom\u2019s groups to digital discourses about the evils of public schools, social media are key arenas in which women not only teach, but are taught, far-right alternative knowledge. Alt-education teaches reactionary ideology as a timeless truth, normalizing it through discourses of home, family and love. At the same time, alt-education borrows and co-opts the language of critique \u2013 normalizing racism, sexism and fascism a kind of alternative knowledge, while making it exciting as a countercultural critique of \u201cwoke\u201d liberal indoctrination. The book concludes with a look at this attempt to \u201cspeak post-truth to power\u201d as a way of normalizing and spreading their ideology \u2013 bringing alt-education to a wide audience as their critiques of \u201cwoke\u201d politics spreads across the US, UK, and into Europe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
