The Empire Never Ended ·

2021/10/15

The Empire Never Ended gathers in their Death Valley compound to re-cap the first half of Arc 3 and break down the concept of "Americanism" as a distinct species of fascism.

Rey goes all 'Oliver Stone' on the TENE crew with the Minutemen, America's own little 'Stay-Behind Unit' of feds and fash. Beginning in 1960, millionaire Robert DePugh - fashy loner pedo - founds the loose conglomeration of anti-communist militias called "The Minutemen", beholden only to an imaginary inner council. With an absurd level of state-sponsored impunity, DePugh commits crime after insane crime only for the authorities to look the other way time and again. Included in his inner circle are

Game night at the Empire Never Ended! Boris, Fritz, and Rey are joined by some friends as they dive deep into the bewildering mess that is Nazi-made video games.

2021/10/05

TENE goes on a field trip to Idaho where they visit the Church of Christ Christian and their militant political wing, the Aryan Nations lead by Richard Girnt Butler, a man who slurs his slurs.

Connected to terrorist groups like the Order and establishing the Aryan World Congress,

2021/10/01

TENE finds yet another thing Nazis are terrible at, parody swing music. 'Enjoy' the musical stylings of Goebbels-approved Charlie and his Orchestra, a wartime Nazi propaganda effort to trade the so-called 'degenerate' hits of Jewish and Black jazz artists with cringe-inducing parody versions towing the party line. With deepest apologies to the Andrews Sisters, TENE presents Nazi swing! Closing (anti-fascist) song: "Pesenka o nacistah" - Leonid Utesov This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist

Ever wish the Bible had more space aliens and insane racism in it? Well, Fritz has the religion for you! TENE takes Christian Identity head-on from their split with the British Israelite movement through super racist ancient aliens to some of the earliest participants in the American militia movement.

Tying off the gushing wound that is interwar American fascism, Fritz invites Boris and Rey down the twisted path of America First. TENE examines two early organized incarnations of this sentiment and gives a broad view of Americanist incubator that twice encouraged Nazis, capitalists, and politicians to join together under a common banner of isolationism, free markets, and anti-Semitism. Fritz explains the career of a bony racist geezer named James True, the "First Firster" whose America First, Inc

2021/09/10

Despite what its name might suggest, Rey introduces the British Israelite movement to TENE's arc on Americanist fascism and adds a whole new roster of fashy freaks to their collection. 'British Israelism' is the claim that the British - and eventually Europeans and 'Whites' - are the truest and noblest tribe of Israel. And where does that leave the Jews? Well, that depends on who you ask, but it ain't great. Meet Richard Brothers, a founding ideologue of the movement whose teachings on the lost

2021/09/03

Boris introduces The Empire Never Ended to a very special Bavarian boy named Fritz Kuhn who, through summer camps, mass rallies, and marching (so much marching) throughout the '30s, tried to reconcile racial Americanism and German Nazism through his German-American Bund. Though his career was brief, Kuhn amassed tens of thousands of followers and inspired much of the symbolism and look of future groups. He also embodied the very model of the US Nazi huckster as he embezzled funds to supply his vast

Remember that time when a third of the U.S. listened to the weekly podcasts of a fascist radio priest? No? Well, neither did Fritz, who guides Boris and Rey through the tangled tale of Father Charles Coughlin, the confusingly named 'National Union for Social Justice', and his would-be terrorist militia, the Christian Front.
