How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism + The National Guard Sent to Los Angeles (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Why are young men increasingly drawn to fascist ideologies—and what can parents do about it?

Brad sits down with Craig A. Johnson, author of How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism. They explore why boys and young men are especially vulnerable to far-right radicalization, how fascism is becoming normalized in modern culture, and what parents can do to push back.

Craig breaks down the recruitment tactics used in online spaces, the role of toxic masculinity, and the emotional and social factors that make fascist narratives appealing. He shares practical advice for having empathetic, non-alarmist conversations with sons, as well as the importance of early intervention, positive role models, and media literacy.

This episode is essential listening for parents, educators, and anyone concerned about the rise of fascism—and how to fight it from the ground up.
