The War on Everyone
by Robert Evans
Recently, I started listening to Robert Evans’ disturbing but thought provoking podcast It Could Happen Here, speculating on the likelihood and consequences of a second American Civil War and enjoyed it so much I decided to check out more of his work. A quick, free audiobook narrated by Evans, I found The War On Everyone to be an informative overview of the history and danger of fascist and white supremacist elements in US society, specifically stemming from the “Christian Identity” movement and a few key figures who have shaped these right-wing extremists into their current, all too mainstream forms.
Citing longer works on the subject, including such books as Kathleen Belew’s Bring the War Home, Jon Ronson’s Them, and Vegas Tenold’s Everything You Love Will Burn, Evans does a good job at compiling and condensing these disparate accounts into a connected and disturbing picture of the current state of the “alt-right” and white nationalism in US politics currently. While the audio was a little rough, I’d recommend The War On Everyone as a great and accessible starting point for learning more about the goals, ideology, and horrifying methods of such groups, from The Order to the Proud Boys. I feel we all need a refresher on just how deep these connections go, and how vulnerable many in our society can be to their violence.
