Nish Kumar In my first year, I saw Klangbang, by the much-missed sketch group We Are Klang. Nothing could have prepared me for the avalanche of stupidity that was about to strike. Three grown men clowned around in a celebration of filth and depravity … and I couldn't have loved it any more. The show was incessantly hilarious, with sketches including a grotesque caricature of Tracey Emin, one about moronic mindreader Derren Chilblain and its Theatre du Bastard skit. Mindblowing doesn't begin to cover it – Klangband detonated a thermonuclear device in my consciousness. I am performing in the same room this year. If my show is half as good as Klangbang, I'll be very pleased with myself indeed. … [Read more...] about The best show I’ve ever seen at Edinburgh: performers and theatre-makers on their festival highlights

Anatole Larrabeiti is nearing the end of his personal judicial marathon. “It has been continuous over almost my whole adult life,” he said. He and his sister first took their case to a civil court in Argentina in 1996, as a way of determining the truth of what had happened to them and receiving compensation.

The court’s decision could oblige Argentina to change the way it handles cases like this, and set precedent for other countries. It may also mean that Larrabeiti and his sister finally receive compensation. But that is not what matters most to him. “Up to now, the task of finding evidence has too often been on us. We want that changed,” he … [Read more...] about Operation Condor: the cold war conspiracy that terrorised South America

Political and ideological differences aside, groups like the Proud Boys, the Traditionalist Worker party (now defunct), Identity Evropa (now called the American Identity Movement), and Patriot Front (a specific organisation, not to be confused with the older, decentralised Patriot movement) aggressively and self-consciously sought to stake out their own aesthetics, uniforms, rituals and identity markers. In the process of trying to build an autonomous political force, amid the factional jostling and the infighting, the “alt-right” revealed its true nature. It is a constantly shifting network of personality cults, animated by misogyny, racism and a libidinal desire for violence. Its politics are articulated by the reclusive but influential Andrew Anglin of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer: “The core concept of the movement, upon which all else is based, is that Whites are undergoing an extermination, via mass immigration into White countries which was enabled by … [Read more...] about Trump’s useful thugs: how the Republican party offered a home to the Proud Boys
