About Microlooting and the SPLC Indictment

About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of microlooting and the SPLC's recent indictment regarding funding hate groups.

Hot off a controversial appearance in the New York Times opinion page, the gang discusses the concept of "microlooting." Spurred on by comments made by podcasters Nadja Spiegelman and Jia Tolentino, as well as political streamer Hasan Piker, the crew wonders whether there's any case in which "microlooting" can be justified, or if it's actually just hurting leftist causes. Then they turn to the SPLC's recent indictment over accusations that paying informants within targeted hate groups actually counts as funding these hate groups — and, in doing so, constitutes fraud. Compelling case, or obvious reach? Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:23:53 - Microlooting 00:48:27 - SPLC Indicted 01:07:32 - Emails 01:12:09 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast.
