This week on The Austin Young Show, we're tackling the rise of fascism head-on. We're discussing practical anti-fascist tactics, from educating yourself and challenging hate speech to getting involved in your community and using your voice. We're talking about how to be a constant thorn in the side of authoritarianism, because complacency is not an option. Plus, we're dropping a sonic bomb: a brand new, never-before-heard track from American Sh*tstorm called "Cult"!
