OTNS: Is Praxis a bunch of fascists dressed as libertarians?

In this episode of OTNS, we spoke to Ali Breland (twitter.com/alibreland), a journalist at Mother Jones who has written on motherjones.com/politics/2021/11/who-goes-cryp… politics, about his recent publication about the links between Praxis and far right figures (motherjones.com/politics/2023/09/praxis-societ…). We spoke about his experience of going to a Praxis sponsored party in NYC, his interviews with ex-employees about the fascist sympathies of the founder Dryden Brown, and how they try to seduce " cool kids" to join them. We also try applying for a citizenship!
