On this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we break down the now-viral debate where journalist Mehdi Hasan faced off against twenty self-identified conservatives. What started as a political conversation quickly turned into something darker. These weren’t just hard-right talking points. This was open fascism, proudly declared. We watched participants praise autocracy, reject democracy, and casually drop Nazi references like they were memes. This wasn’t a warning. It was a spotlight on how far the rot has spread.We talk about how disinformation, white grievance, and weaponized masculinity are breeding a generation of far-right radicals who don’t just tolerate fascism, they crave it. This episode is not just about what was said. It’s about what happens next if we don’t push back. It’s about what we’re willing to accept, and who we become if we stay silent.
