On this episode...I manage to catch up with Corinna Luray Olsen, the former white nationalist that I interviewed in 2013 and revisited here on Episode 29 of this podcast Corinna talks about her recent conversion to Islam, her current work in funeral homes doing reconstructive work for trauma cases, and other developments in her life since we last spoke. We also discuss the parallels of what she witnessed in the white nationalist movement and how the ideology has made it's way into mainstream American politics, how immigration has been used as an issue to push white nationalist ideas into the mainstream long before Trump, how hate groups recruit at gun shows and other avenues, how the rise of the incels has overlapped with white nationalism, and Corinna dispels Western myths about Islam. Really great talk.  Email: paradoxofcivility@gmail.comTwitter: @civilpodcastFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/paradoxofcivility/ Articles/References from episode: Corinna Luray Olsen:website: https://iamcori.comtwitter: @6PointMePlease El Paso Shooting:  https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/09/us/el-paso-shooting-friday/index.htmlEssay from former white supremacist Derek Black on El Paso and Trump's rhetoric:https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/08/07/el-paso-shooting-white-supremacy-donald-trump-column/1933421001/ Dayton Shooting:https://abcnews.go.com/US/alleged-dayton-gunman-connor-betts-showed-signs-misogyny/story?id=64826324 Koch Foods ICE Raid:Labor abuses and harassment: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-koch-foods/allegations-of-labor-abuses-dogged-mississippi-plant-years-before-immigration-raids-idUSKCN1UZ1OVKoch Foods ICE Q&A: http://kochfoodsinc.com/news/2019/08/09/ICERaidsMortonMSQandA Norway mosque shooting: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/11/norway-mosque-attack-suspect-may-have-been-inspired-by-christchurch-and-el-paso-shootings Night and Fog film:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_and_Fog_(1956_film) Music:  Gnossienne no. 1 by International Surrealist Bulletinis licensed under a CC0 1.0 Universal License.Remedy for Melancholy by Kai Engel is licensed under a Attribution License.
