Michael Zeller, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Political Science at Central European University, joins “Right Rising” to unpack why it’s so important not just to study the online presence of far-right groups, but also their demonstrations and mobilizations.
Along with host Augusta Dell’Omo, he takes us on a deep dive into the kinds of rallies and demonstrations undertaken by the far right. While this discussion took place before the violent riot at the US Capitol Building, this episode offers important lessons about why far-right groups organize and, critically, how that ends.
