Remski, Matthew - Antifascist Dad: Urgent Conversations with Young People in Chaotic Times

From Conspirituality co-host Matthew Remski: A timely, bold, and necessary guide for parents who want to fight the rise of fascism and right-wing extremism—starting at home. Takes on hot-topic issues like incel culture, Luigi Mangione, talking with your kids about sex work and porn, and more. Centres children as whole and complex people with their own ideas, agency, and intelligence—and asks readers to do the same. Focuses on the majority—not the extreme minority: the boys who don’t enact outward violence can still be influenced by toxic, rightwing, and misogynistic ideologies. They need help too. The book is a response to rightwing manosphere influencer Jordan Peterson’s “12 Rules for Life,” and the Publisher expects a buzzworthy response. ANTIFASCIST DAD POD: Remski has launched a spin-off podcast this fall, with tentative guests like Naomi Klein and Rebecca Solnit. “This book is a parent’s trusted companion through roiling political waters, and just in time. A skillful, urgent and loving intervention.” —Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger.
