Army PSYOP Vet John Kirbow On Combating Nazi Hate & Radical Islam

from Conversations with Peter Boghossian

The resurgence of Nazi sympathizers on the American Right demands unflinching scrutiny. That's why I sat down with John Kirbow, a US Army PSYOP veteran and counter-extremism expert, to dissect "Hipster Nazism". Hipster Nazism is a slick, social media-savvy strain of Jew hatred that's infiltrated conservative circles. Our conversation cuts straight to the core: How do these narratives spread? Why do societies fail to counter them effectively? Kirbow draws on behavioral science, psywar tactics, and real-world examples, including screenshots of Nazi doublespeak, to reveal the psychology of radicalization. We explored meme warfare, satire as a weapon, and the need to transcend tired Left-Right binaries in favor of defending liberty, dignity, and the Constitution against all threats. It's a dialogue that equips viewers with tools to spot and dismantle this poison before it metastasizes further.  Watch this episode on YouTube and read more on Substack. Follow Peter Boghossian
