Danyl McLauchlan: the rise of Bronze Age Pervert

Saturday Morning - A podcast by RNZ

Categories:

Writer Danyl McLauchlan joins Kim to tackle life's big questions, ideas and thinkers. This week he looks at Bronze Age Pervert (BAP), an until-recently anonymous internet personality and influential far-right thinker. BAP's writing and commentary is an intentionally slippery and absurd mix of memes and inside jokes about homophobia, bodybuilding and ancient Greece. Behind the clownish facade however is a philosophically sophisticated argument for fascism which has alarmed mainstream conservatives.
