The Empire Never Ended

Fritz adds Nazi sci-fi to TENE's god-awful fash fic library. Lauded as the white nationalist's 1984, Hold Back This Day is a perfect representative of the laughably bad genre of fascist dystopian fiction.

TENE Crüe analyzes an extremely interesting Bulgarian documentary/travelogue from 2003 called Whose is this Song? (Chia e tazi pesen? / Чия е тази песен?) which follows the director, Adela Peeva, as she follows the multiple claims on and origin stories for a single song from her childhood. Beginning in Turkey, Peeva travels to Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, and Bulgaria; at each stop locals claim this song as their own, often denying that other nations are even capable of its composition.

TENE meets Amanda Rogers -- AKA The Provost, AKA Ms. Entropy -- to chat with her about the structural relationship between white nationalism and ISIS, the history and under-appreciated influence of Tom Metzger and White Aryan Resistance, the often-overlooked role of women in neo-Nazi organizations, and the issue of fascist infiltration and instrumentalization of the US military.

Boris gives TENE a rough introduction to Nazi Telegram's take on the war in Ukraine, as well as the fates of a few big names in the fascist world. Fascism's internal conflict over Ukraine has a much larger variety of voices than just Azov Battalion and Wagner Group -- and they're all pretty awful.
