Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Episode length: 25m
It seems like everywhere you look around the world, political extremism—of forms Islamist, radical-right/ultranationalist, and radical-left/neocommunist—is on the rise. Why is this so and what can be done about it? At Capital Research Center, we’re debuting a new program, the Counter Extremism Research Center to track and expose the forces promoting, funding, and engaging in extremist activity. Leading that project and joining us today to discuss the rise of extremism and his work for Capital Research Center is the director of the Counter Extremism Research Center, Sean Durns.
