The Right Podcast

https://linktr.ee/TheRightPodcast This piece is a reading and discussion of a recent article focused on political syncretism in the 1990s. In the article, I share my personal experiences and juxtapose them with the broader political shifts of that era. Ultimately, it explores the dangers of conspiratorial thought and how populist rhetoric can serve as a pathway to such thinking, often leading to reactionary outcomes. I highlight various movements, including the anti-globalization protests, freight train riding, and radical environmentalism, while also addressing the far-right sentiments of the time, such as Traditionalism.

All links: https://linktr.ee/TheRightPodcast Summary of previous discussions: Summarizing the previous two videos, we delved into the intricate interplay between narrative, perception, and ideology within political discourse. We explored the nuanced distinctions between anti-imperialism, anti-authoritarianism, and leftist perspectives, recognizing that they may not always align seamlessly. We then explored themes that have persisted from the 2014 Gaza War to the present conflict. In this session we discussed how the actions of the Trump administration accelerated and escalated instability in the region. We examined various responses to the administration's unilateralism, as well as religious interpretations of these actions. Additionally, we explored why the left often excludes religion from their analysis and why incorporating it can be necessary. Finally, we compared the discourse of a conservative Rabbi with social media posts made by some pro-Palestinian leftists to examine Islamophobia and anti-Semitism.

All links: https://linktr.ee/TheRightPodcast Continuing from the previous conversation, we delve into the intricate interplay between narrative, perception, and ideology within political discourse. We explore the nuanced distinctions between anti-imperialism, anti-authoritarianism, and leftist perspectives, recognizing that they may not always align seamlessly. In this context, we examine the role of organizations like the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and their utilization of social media to shape perceptions and garner support. The evolution of Hamas, balancing adaptation with political realities, becomes a focal point. We then pivot from the Fatah-Hamas Conflict to the 2014 Gaza War, dissecting its ramifications and the precedents it established for contemporary events. By analyzing historical events through this lens, we gain a deeper understanding of current geopolitical dynamics and their implications.

n this Livestream, I delve into the broad origins of Hamas, aiming to comprehend their worldview while maintaining a stance of not endorsing it.

I'll be having ongoing "office hours" live streams about once a month. I'm currently focused on writing and want to maintain the audio connection. I'll be putting polls for topics up on the YouTube Community page and X. These will be informal and focus on a book, a few articles, an idea etc. The topic that won polls for this session is Oct 7th. I'm aiming for 30 min or so to start.

This episode will introduce audiences to both the Belarusian Cyber Partisans and Distributed Denial of Secrets Collective. These groups participated in and store one of the largest hacks/leaks of Russian government data regarding censorship. These groups have been called the successor to Wikileaks yet very little has been reported on them in the West. This is especially true for anti-imperialist, anti-censorship and "anti-war" groups on the internet. This episode also covers reporting that has occurred mostly from eastern European outlets. Topics in the leak to be censored range from anti-war protests to the use of artificial intelligence and ocular technology for automating censorship.

Also consider the website for articles, research tools, a link library and blog: Youtube | The Right Podcast See the YouTube video Description for citations and links.  This video delves into the origins of modern rightwing conspiracy by examining the historical foundations for which they are based upon. I make the argument that conspiracy has long since merged with social, paramilitary and political manifestations on the right. The root of this world view is found within antisemitism. The Christian Identity movement is vital for understanding messages of "small government" and "low taxes" as key players "specifically William Potter Gale" leveraged historical antisemitic conspiracy in creating new organizations from the 1950's-1980's. In that period of time anti-communism, desegregation and tax protest were merged with conspiracies that had previously been relegated to small Christian Identity congregations. I argue that it is from this era "Specifically 1950's-1970's" modern MAGA style Republicans draw from. This video bridges the gap between the proto-militias and political organizations from that time period to the Patriot and Militia movements of the 1990's. These movements later influenced a revival of militias and populism from the right in the form of the Tea Party movement and creation of the Oath Keepers. This political legitimizing of extremism made MAGA and ultimately Jan. 6th possible. The conspiracies that were initially developed from individuals such as Bill Gale have become populist, mainstream language for the right and certain aspects of the internet left (Dirt bag left, anti-imperialists)  I'm not interested in profiting from this. The best way you can help me is to spread the word. It's cliche but accurate. 

Cross over with C. Derick Varn. We talk about the misuse of 19th-century politics and the misunderstanding of American populism.  The misappropriation of this history is pernicious.

We talk about a series of articles found here: https://fightback.org.nz/2018/05/09/the-red-brown-zombie-plague-part-one/ (This article contains links to others) which investigates right-wing/fascist creep into left spaces. These articles describe how Trump/Brexit, Syria, Covid and now Ukraine have been weaponized via conspiracy and other ideologically bankrupt means (such as campism) to interject reactionary politics into traditionally left spheres. We also touch on other related topics including a general despair with modern politics, globalization vs. reactionary globalist critiques and a need for internationalist solidarity and empathy for victims of all imperialism.

Providing context and seeking truth does not equal advocating for existing options. This is not a hit piece, a pro-western piece, a pro-NATO/EU piece or anything else other than a critique of a deeply flawed propaganda film.
