Ep 2. Hunting the White Devil

In season 1, episode 2 of the show Hate Thy Neighbor, titled "Hunting the White Devil," comedian and host Jamali Maddix heads to Sweden to learn more about the country's rising white nationalism movement.

Jamali starts his journey by meeting with young white nationalists who are gathering together to march and promote their anti-immigrant beliefs. He speaks with them candidly about their views on race, immigration, and the future of Sweden. Jamali is shocked to find that these young people are filled with anger and hate towards anyone who is not White and have formed a "post-modern" nationalist movement, appropriating and manipulating leftist strategies to further their ideology.

As Jamali delves deeper into the issue, he meets with people on the other side of the debate, including anti-racist activists and members of the Swedish government who are trying to combat the surge of white nationalism in their country.

Jamali sits down with one woman who has been physically attacked by members of these nationalist groups and talks to her about the fear that many immigrants and people of color in Sweden are experiencing. He also interviews a member of parliament who is trying to take a hard stance against the rise of far-right ideologies across Europe.

Throughout the episode, Jamali tries to understand why so many young people are drawn to a movement that is based on hate and bigotry. He meets with psychologists and researchers who study extremist groups, and tries to get inside the minds of the young people he has been talking to.

At the end of the episode, Jamali takes to the streets to confront some of the young white nationalists he met earlier in the episode. He challenges them on their beliefs, trying to get them to see that their ideology is causing harm to innocent people. He even ends up in a heated exchange with one man who is so entrenched in his bigotry that he cannot even see the harm he is causing to his fellow human beings.

"Hunting the White Devil" is a powerful episode that confronts the toxic rise of white nationalism in Sweden, and the world at large. Jamali's ability to connect with people on both sides of the debate is impressive, and his willingness to confront hate head-on is inspiring. For anyone who wants to learn more about this issue, this episode is a must-see.
