About the Guest

Captain Leif Iron-leg

Leif was born and raised in the State of Ohio, a Midwesterner by fate and chance, but a man by fate and choice. He got his Bachelor's in Music History from Otterbein University. He got his anti-fascist education in the library and in the streets. His pagan faith drives him towards one purpose: anti-fascism.

He's unafraid, unashamed, and unstoppable.

Leif used to do anonymous, direct, on-the-ground anti-fascism. Then he was falsely charged with assault because he taught some fascists a lesson after they fassaulted him first. They doxxed him to AntifaWatch, so he fought back in court and online, and he built a platform on the false accusations. Now he's using that platform to teach YOU about anti-fascism.
