Podcast appearances and mentions of alexander hinton

Part 1:We talk with John Nichols, who writes for the Nation magazine.Nichols discusses what Musk is doing to federal employees and how Democrats should IMMEDIATELY respond to each outrage. There is a lot of resistance to Trump and Musk, as shown by people who attend events sponsored by Democrats. These resistors should band together to make their collective voices heard. Among the MAGA cult members, Trump's lies are only viewed as weapons to be wielded to undermine the opposition, not promises or real statements of fact. We should not let this continue.A ray of hope, Germans voted 80% AGAINST the far right.We also discuss Musk's spending money on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, as part of his game plan to reach closer to his goals.Part 2:We talk with Alexander Hinton, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus from Rutgers University, and researcher into the mindset of the MAGA cult.Prof. Hinton describes his work observing and documenting the MAGA cult activities and techniques used to keep the member loyal and excited. He describes his attendance at CPAC over the years, and how each event is designed to excite the audiences and keep them engaged. He reminds us to keep our eyes on Trump, because Musk can be discarded when he has absorbed the dislike of the electorate, and could be discarded, thus making Trump appear more sympathetic, and thus "not responsible" for Musk's actions. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

Alexander Hinton is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Director of the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights, and UNESCO Chair on Genocide Prevention at Rutgers University.

Genocide can be defined through three lenses: legal, social scientific, and conventional, according to Alexander Hinton, UNESCO Chair on genocide prevention at Rutgers University in New Jersey. The U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.” The acts include “killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group, and/or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories--5194379/support.

The Conservative Political Action Conference, better known as CPAC, started in the 1970s to unify and enforce GOP ideology. It remained a fairly small affair for its first 25 years of existence. As conservative media grew in popularity, CPAC evolved into more of a live conservative entertainment experience. It is perhaps best known for hosting controversial figures and delivering controversial soundbites, and dare I say, outrage. And journalists eat it up, serving up the most outrageous moments to their mostly liberal audiences.Join me as we unravel the untold stories and hidden complexities behind CPAC, as seen through the eyes of Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Alex Hinton. We'll explore the power of open-minded conversations, the importance of understanding diverse perspectives, and the challenges of bridging political divides in today's polarized society.Support the showShow Notes:https://outrageoverload.net/ Follow me, David Beckemeyer, on Twitter @mrblog.

I grew up in Michigan, in the United States, where I was surrounded by places named with Native American names. I drove to Saginaw to play in basketball tournaments and to Pontiac to watch an NBA team play. Now in Kansas, I live near towns called Kiowa and Cherokee. But for much of my life, despite my profession as an historian, names like these were just background noise in the everyday reality of my life, not reminders of the fact that Native Americans have lived in and with the presence of settlers for centuries. Andrew Woolford has done much to help me recognize and understand this. Woolford is one of the preeminent scholars on the relationship between “natives” and settlers in the United States and Canada. He is also one of the most thoughtful voices in considering whether this relationship should be called genocidal. In my discussion with him, we tried to get at the essence of his ideas by looking at three of his works. We begin with the volume of essays he co-edited with Alexander Hinton and Jeff Benvenuto, titled Colonial Genocide in Indigenous North America. The book collects the contributions of a variety of authors researching the issue. The essays generally offer focused examinations of specific issues of events. But the editors also offer valuable reflections on what we know and don’t know about the subject. It’s an outstanding resource for people interested in the question broadly. We then move on to Woolford’s own work, titled This Benevolent Experiment:Indigenous Boarding Schools, Genocide, and Redress in Canada and the United States (University of Nebraska Press, 2015).The book is a wonderful examination of the Indigenous school systems in Canada and the United States in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Woolford extracts from his research a wonderful new metaphor to illustrate the way in which genocide worked in North America, one that has much broader utility in the field. And he offers a careful, well-reasoned explanation for why he thinks genocide is indeed the most appropriate term for the cultural and physical violent that characterized the period. Both books are excellent. Finally, while we didn’t have much time to address it specifically, Woolford edited a recent special edition of the Journal of Genocide Research focusing on the topic. It’s also a rich source of information and insight. Put together, the three works offer perhaps the best way into the growing field of genocide studies in North America.
