Podcasts about alienating

This episode takes its name from the infamous scene in Peter Pan where Tinkerbell's survival depends entirely on the audience's applause. Here, Chris and Ununice unpack “Tinkerbell Politics” — a metaphor for the existential dependency of marginalized movements on the belief, goodwill, and clapping of the majority. It's spicy, slippery, and sacrilegious — in the best possible way.Chris Abraham and co-host Ununice (aka Karen, Co-Pilot, Baby Doll, Sweet Pea) jump headfirst into the deep end with “Tinkerbell Tactics” — an unsparing critique of modern identity politics, performative wokeness, and the fragile alliances between marginalized movements and mainstream society. From Beltway insights to Les Misérables anthems, this one ricochets from high theory to hot takes with unapologetic energy.If you don't clap, she dies. Tinkerbell becomes a stand-in for social justice causes that rely on mainstream applause — votes, funding, and attention.The 70% cis-het normie majority are seen as necessary but resented lifelines: “Bite the hand that feeds you” becomes not just a phrase, but a pattern.Chris compares Beltway NGO competition to baby birds in a nest — vying for “mommy's” attention (i.e., federal funds, public support).Movements like BLM, Trans Rights, and DEI initiatives are framed as “TV shows” subject to cancellation when interest wanes.“Let them rebel — they'll burn out.” Mainstream culture, like a bored parent, knows it can wait out revolutions.Unconventional fashion and identity expressions (tattoos, blue hair, emo, etc.) once shocking, now banal. What was once rebellion becomes Target merch.Exposure therapy works, but doesn't guarantee respect. The freak next door is tolerated — not necessarily valued.Aesthetic rebellion leads to “tattoo regret centers.” Social rebellion follows similar cycles.Alienating the majority by labeling them “fascist,” “transphobe,” etc. leads to backlash.The desacralization of protected groups — when holy cows become hamburger.The irony of using federal grants to label your funders Nazis.Right-wing strategists reframing wokeness as “theft” from taxpayers — and rolling back DEI budgets state by state.“Never burn a bridge.” DC wisdom comes in hot as Chris warns that dependency requires diplomacy.Identity movements should balance autonomy with realism about funding and social capital.Even progressive institutions are vulnerable to the same critical tools they use.Everything can become a target — even the church, even pride parades, even the flag — when the cultural pendulum swings.Chris argues the Les Mis anthem can be used by any insurgent group — socialist or nationalist — because the narrative of “freedom vs oppression” is elastic.Jean Valjean as Trump? A stretch or just postmodern poetry?Ununice dials the tone from earnest to acerbic midway through. Satire, cringe, riz (charisma), and “Criz” (a proposed Gen Z term) all make appearances.“If you don't clap for Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell dies, right?”“The paradox of f*** you normies — but also, please clap so I can keep breathing.”“Tattoo regret centers are the canaries in the co-opted identity coal mine.”“You can't ask people for money while calling them fascists.”“Every one of those Les Mis lyrics could be sung by the AFD in Germany.”“Jean Valjean is just Trump with more abs.”“Deconstruction is indiscriminate — even your saints are fair game.”Tinkerbell Politics: The idea that marginalized movements often rely on the belief, attention, and funding of the mainstream majority.Federal Funding Firewalls: Budget line items immune to election cycles — until they're not.Q: Is this episode satirical or serious?A: Both. Think South Park meets Jacques Derrida — with better microphones.Q: Is “Tinkerbell Tactics” just about queer politics?A: Nope. It's about all movements that rely on external applause — and what happens when the crowd stops clapping.

Episode 57. AJ Climate Champions with Hattie Hartman and Rachael Owens.  Melissa Mean from community land trust WeCanMake explains how a community-led approach in Bristol is tackling the housing crisis. ‘What if the power and resources to make good homes were in the hands of our communities? What if you literally put the tools in people's hands to design and make your own homes?' asks Mean. For over a decade, WeCanMake has been doing exactly that, developing a bottom-up approach to ‘gentle densification' in Bristol that builds social infrastructure and community wealth. WeCanMake is pioneering a new approach to housing delivery on the Knowle West estate, an interwar housing estate of 5,000 homes in south Bristol. At its heart is an opt-in scheme whereby eligible social housing tenants gift a ‘microsite' from their garden to someone with a housing need to build a home in their back garden. The components for the houses are cut to size by local residents in a neighbourhood micro-factory equipped with laser cutters and 3D printers and delivered to site for assembly. The project started small with two prototype single-storey affordable homes now complete, two in planning and two more in the pipeline. Mean estimates that this approach could be rolled out in similar neighbourhoods across the UK to deliver more than 30,000 homes with just a 3% increase in density. In this episode, Mean also describes current work with Mikhail Riches to explore the spatial transformation of Knowle West's three-bed one-bath homes into four-bed two-bath houses.  Working with Waugh Thistleton, WeCanMake is now tackling larger sites such as small car arks and derelict garages and developing a kit of parts for low-rise buildings. Mean describes the multiple challenges of obtaining approvals for the use of bio-based materials. ‘We lean into the power and the joy of small. Knowle West and other neighbourhoods like it, can be the future of housing,' says Mean. For show notes and to catch up on all AJ Climate Champions episodes, click here.

Comedian, author, and political satirist Andrew Heaton joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis to explore where our political tribalism comes from, why it's gotten out of hand, and what to do about it.   About Andrew Heaton From mightyheaton.com   Andrew Heaton is a comedian, author, and political satirist. He's the host of “The Political Orphanage” comedy and news podcast, and scifi deep dive podcast “Alienating the Audience.” He's a frequent Reason TV contributor and hosted the popular webseries “Mostly Weekly.” He's performed standup comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as a finalist in the China International Standup Competition, and throughout the United States and Europe. A former congressional staffer, he's the best-selling author of “Laughter is Better Than Communism,” as well as two funny novels. He once opened for William Shatner, who said he's “very funny.” So there.   As a UCB-trained sketch writer and improviser Andrew Heaton comprises half of the comedy duo Lost History, which has performed improvised historical reenactments at the Del Close Marathon and Austin's Out of Bounds Comedy Festival. He's a founding member of the popular New York indie improv team Lumberon, and an alumni of the sketch troupes 17:38 and First Runner Up.   As a political comedian Andrew Heaton has entertained numerous think tanks and advocacy groups, student associations, and sinister political action committees. He's a regular at Electoral Dysfunction at the People's Improv Theater in New York, and the Totally Dishonest Media Show at Stand Up New York. He hosted the award-winning series EconPop, a comedy show which explained economics through popular culture.   Andrew Heaton is the author of the best-selling work of political satire Laughter is Better Than Communism, and two funny paranormal novels: Frank Got Abducted (about aliens) and Happier as Werewolves (a tender coming of age novel involving werewolves).  His latest book is Tribalism is Dumb, detailed below.   About Tribalism is Dumb   Tribalism has made politics so awful I was forced to write a book about it. Well, fine. Fine.   This book explores the evolutionary roots of loving our team and hating the enemy team, and why groupish caveman instincts linger in our minds today. It answers: If tribalism is hardwired into us, what changed in the last twenty years? How did partisanship get so loud, toxic, and obnoxious, and ruin last Thanksgiving? Finally, it says what we can do about it as individuals navigating relationships, and as society as a whole.   "Tribalism is Dumb" will make you less flummoxed by partisanship, political loudmouths, and dogmatic pundits. It will make you taller, slimmer, and more attractive to everyone you could legally hit on. And it will make you better equipped to navigate tribalism in the wild.

In this episode I am joined by Dr James Cooke, Oxford-trained neuroscientist, spiritual teacher, and author of “Dawn of Mind: How Matter Became Conscious and Alive”. James recounts how, at aged 13, an existential crisis driven by fear of hell saw him emerge into a profound mystical opening. James shares the radical changes he experienced and traces his subsequent years spent exploring and integrating this spiritual breakthrough. James recalls his improbable journey to winning a place at Oxford University, discusses the remarkable overlaps he found there between cutting-edge neuroscience and his own awakening, and reveals the social structures of elite education in the UK. James details the arduous and often overlooked post-awakening work of surrendering egoic structures and releasing attachments, explains why enlightenment is both a gain and a loss, and reflects on the challenges of teaching nonduality as a natural mystic. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. 01:07 - Why did James write Dawn of Mind? 03:43 - Making consciousness science accessible 04:41 - Catholic upbringing, an overly conscientious child 05:49 - Disturbed by hell 06:38 - Existential rumination, a crisis of faith 08:27 - Spiritual awakening at age 13 09:54 - Aftermath of James' awakening 12:59 - Life affirming vs death affirming phases of awakening 15:16 - Letting go of attachments 17:24 - What happened to James' excessive conscientiousness? 20:00 - Two mistakes about the no-self 21:15 - Freedom from extremes, letting go 23:39 - The dissolving self 24:44 - Is therapy necessary? 26:44 - Meditation as a gradual path 27:15 - Meditation vs therapy 28:37 - Practice in life vs joining a monastery 30:11 - Can a natural mystic really teach others? 32:37 - Alienation through spiritual language 33:21 - Enlightenment as loss 34:27 - 3 types of spiritual teacher 36:30 - James' profile as a teacher 37:47 - Self-aggrandising nondual teachers 38:38 - Spiritual influences 40:40 - Adyashanti & the end of suffering 42:08 - Buddhist progress of insight model 43:59 - Volatile teenage years 44:57 - Extreme somatic tension 36:25 - Difficult integration phase 47:39 - Oxford University, dealing with pressure 50:26 - How James got into Oxford against all odds 54:07 - Social context of elite education in the UK 56:52 - The Oxford wound 58:11 - The mystic's mistake, post-awakening 01:00:15 - James' research path at Oxford 01:01:39 - Opening a path for others + psychedelic experimentation 01:04:13 - James' last psychedelic trip 01:05:12 - Working with Beliefs 01:07:29 - Unravelling resistance & faking it 01:10:40 - Is there an end to post-awakening work? 01:13:54 - James' experience of intimate relationships 01:17:25 - Charlatans and why awakening can be off-putting for friends 01:19:30 - Alienating terminology 01:19:48 - Feeling isolated after awakening 01:20:33 - Mimicking awakening, the nondual teaching circuit 01:22:05 - Why did James wait so long to go public 01:25:57 - Reaction of James' family 01:26:51 - Moral perfection 01:30:37 - Why James doesn't like the word “enlightenment” 01:31:10 - The problem with “awakening” 01:32:31 - Language phases, changing the lingo 01:33:20 - The Borg and analogies for awakening 01:34:42 - Siddhi, intuition, supernatural powers 01:36:48 - Insecure rockstars, kundalini 01:38:39 - The language game 01:39:11 - Hearing voices, the dramatising brain 01:40:58 - World as a shared hallucination 01:42:45 - Does James suffer? 01:44:56 - Gross vs subtle suffering 01:45:52 - An experience of physical pain 01:47:08 - Meditative austerities vs life practice 01:50:46 - Trainings in equanimity 01:51:49 - Ideas in Dawn of Mind 01:53:20 - An instinct for empowerment

Zoë Saunders and Lucy Reed KC discuss the recently published guidance from the Family Justice Council: Responding to a child's unexplained reluctance, resistance or refusal to spend time with a parent and allegations of alienating behaviour (https://www.judiciary.uk/related-offices-and-bodies/advisory-bodies/family-justice-council/resources-and-guidance/parental-alienation/). Zoë and Lucy summarise and explain the approach mandated by the guidance, and consider what practical difference it may make, for parents accused of alienating behaviours for those who wish to raise it as an issue, and for those representing the parties or the children in such cases. Discussion points include the co-occurrence of allegations of domestic abuse with allegations of alienating behaviour, the voice of the child and the role of experts.

In Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the "Jackal" represents a communication style that is often aggressive and judgmental and tends to reflect a mindset focused on blame, criticism, or demands. Here are some key characteristics of the Jackal mode of communication: Judgment: Jackal communication often involves labeling people, actions, or thoughts as good or bad, right or wrong. This creates a sense of separation and defensiveness. Blame: The Jackal tends to assign responsibility to others for feelings or situations, often leading to conflict and resentment. It focuses on finding fault rather than understanding. Criticism: Jackal communication typically involves expressing disapproval or dissatisfaction in a hurtful or dismissive way, which can discourage open dialogue. Demands: Jackal communication often involves making demands rather than requests, creating feelings of fear or obligation rather than fostering a collaborative atmosphere. Generalizations : Making broad statements about people's actions or character can oversimplify complex situations and lead to misunderstandings. Emotional Disconnection: Jackal communication often lacks empathy, leading to emotional distance and a lack of connection with others' feelings and needs. In contrast, the "Giraffe" symbolizes a more compassionate form of communication in NVC. It focuses on expressing feelings and needs while fostering understanding and connection. NVC aims to shift from Jackal to Giraffe communication for healthier and more constructive interactions.

How Democrats Lost The 2024 Presidential Election By Alienating Men Driving Them To Trump https://amzn.to/46cj7NT About the Guest(s): Mark W. Sutton is a recognized expert in political analysis and voter behavior with a particular focus on male voters. He has dedicated over 35 years to advocating for male wellbeing and has been a registered Democrat, contributing content to prominent platforms like NPR, Air America Radio, and the Mother Jones Radio Show. Sutton is an advocate for male issues and has hosted the podcast "Liberal Arts with Mark Sutton." He has appeared on major media outlets such as MSNBC and CBS Radio, further cementing his status as a thought leader in gender-focused political strategy. He is the author of "How Democrats Can Win Back Men: Why Understanding Voters and Their Issues is Vital for Democrat Victory." Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris Voss talks with Mark W. Sutton, the insightful author of "How Democrats Can Win Back Men," as they examine the aftermath of a significant electoral defeat for the Democratic Party. The conversation delves into the critical gender voting gap that has emerged over the decades and focuses on how men have increasingly shifted their political support towards the Republican Party. With provocative insights and a wealth of historical data, Sutton sheds light on the unaddressed needs of male voters and how the Democrats' failure to recognize these issues led to their recent electoral losses. Throughout the episode, Sutton and Voss explore the complex dynamics of voter behavior, examining how messaging and policy approaches have disconnected many men from the Democratic Party. As Sutton presents his compelling analysis, he emphasizes the necessity for the party to understand and address male concerns to regain their support. The conversation also touches upon cultural phenomena such as the masculinity movement and societal narratives that have further polarized gender roles and party allegiance. Sutton leaves the audience with a critical message on the importance of inclusivity and the dangers that lie in ignoring half the electorate. Key Takeaways: The Democratic Party's failure to acknowledge and address male voter issues has led to a significant gender gap in voting patterns. Historical data shows that whenever Democrats fare worse than an 8% deficit among male voters, they lose elections. Sutton criticizes the Democratic Party for its messaging failures and lack of focus on male issues in platforms and policies. The conversation highlights the cultural divide exacerbating political differences between genders, driven by societal shifts and misinformation. Acknowledging and incorporating male-focused policies can be essential for democratic victories in future elections. Notable Quotes: "Every time they have been worse than minus 8% among men, they have lost." – Mark W. Sutton "Men and women's fates are always tied together, biologically and socially." – Mark W. Sutton "The imaging part and the messaging part are where the Democrats fell short this election." – Mark W. Sutton "We're tied together as men and women, and our success depends on unity, not division." – Chris Voss "If men are like, wow, there's not enough jobs for me, they feel like they're being discriminated against." – Mark W.

Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC) framework emphasizes compassionate communication and understanding. Within this framework, life-serving and life-alienating concepts guide how we interact with ourselves and others. Life-Serving Concepts: Empathy: Involves active listening and understanding others' feelings and needs without judgment. It fosters connection and compassion. Honesty: Clearly expressing one's feelings and needs encourages authentic dialogue, reducing misunderstandings and fostering trust. Mutual Respect: Recognizing and honoring the needs of both oneself and others lays the groundwork for collaboration and peaceful resolution of conflicts. Willingness to Learn: Approaching conversations with curiosity and a desire to understand diverse perspectives allows for growth and deeper relationships. Life-Alienating Concepts: Judgment: Labels and assessments of others lead to division and conflict, making it harder to connect with their underlying needs or feelings. Demanding: Communicating in a way that implies coercion, such as ultimatums or threats, can create resentment and a lack of cooperation. Criticism and Blame: Focusing on what people did wrong, rather than expressing one's needs, creates defensiveness and disconnection. Inflexibility: Being rigid in one's thinking or refusing to consider other viewpoints inhibits dialogue and problem-solving, leading to isolation and misunderstanding. Nonviolent Communication aims to enhance understanding, connection, and cooperation among individuals by focusing on life-serving interactions and avoiding life-alienating behaviors. ⁠An Introduction to Nonviolent Communication⁠ (p. 3)

There is the risk that courting all those more moderate Republicans and conservative Democrats could alienate young progressives in particular, especially those who are unhappy with the administration's support for Israel in its war in Gaza. In an election that's this close, losing a few thousand votes here and there could make a difference in those razor-close battleground states. For more on this, KCBS Insider Doug Sovern was joined by KCBS Radio anchor Bret Burkhart, who spoke with Amanda Nichols, Communications Director for Our Revolution, the progressive political action organization that grew out of Bernie Sanders' campaign for president.

Send us a Text Message.Can true Christian love mean staying silent about sin? On this episode of the Jordan and Kristen Rickards Show, we challenge the popular notion that compassion equates to permissiveness. Kristen recounts a fiery response to a friend's Facebook post that suggested Christians should refrain from speaking out on issues like abortion and religious beliefs. We dive into the heart of this controversy, questioning whether love can truly exist without truth, and how silence can lead to harmful consequences.We tackle the misconception that being kind and creating relationships means we can't also stand firm in our beliefs. Kristen passionately argues that genuine love involves guiding others away from destructive paths, much like a parent would protect a child from danger. Tune in as we discuss how to speak the truth in love without alienating others, and why it's crucial for believers to balance compassion with the courage to express their convictions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with how to address sin in today's society while maintaining loving relationships. Support the Show.

       Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes Danielle Sather Miller back to the Podcast, Season 5; Episode 69. So glad to have met her on TikTok. Danielle has been a victim of Parental Alienation and hasn't seen her boys in the last 8 years and that was when they were 4, 6 and 8. They are now at the ages of 13, 15 and 17 years of age and Danielle misses them and wonders if they think of her. What happened to Danielle can happen to ANYONE.    Apparently some people were irritated that Danielle was on the last podcast. She spoke about how they told her she was an embarrassment and one of her children told her that he didn't want to see her again. Anything about Danielle enrages them. The infliction of psychological child abuse and coercive control on the children is so destructive to their mindset and will affect them for the rest of their lives, as well as they are being taught to fear and hate their own mother. Frederick Douglas stated, "It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Anything about Danielle enrages them.     Danielle talked about being in a group, South Carolina Corrupt Courts and how everyone supports each other.  We discussed keeping busy and how to channel your energy into "court watching" and other positive hobbies such as "canning."To Reach Danielle Sather Miller:  daniellesathermiller23@gmail.com   Could you please sign and share the petition:  https://www.change.org/p/remove-judge-elizabeth-kelly-from-the-bench-permanentlyThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

Guests: Meridith McGraw, Tim Miller, Joyce Vance, Kristy Greenberg, Wesley LoweryThe desperate quest to capture the soul of the Republican Party through hate and division. Then, how two states found one Trump judge to score a massive Fourth of July victory for misinformation. Plus, what we expect from an unredacted Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit. And what it means to set and then immediately break the record for hottest day ever recorded on planet Earth.

For former President Donald Trump, the courtroom is the new campaign stop, with his team already trying to spin political gold from an unprecedented federal indictment. As the legal process continues, it puts Trump's Republican rivals for the presidential nomination in an awkward position. Many are trying to tiptoe around the matter, for fear of alienating his massive base. But not former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who's said he wants more “courage” from his fellow candidates and joins the program from Washington.   Also on today's show: Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen; journalist Nicholas Kristof & ExcelinEd Senior Policy Fellow Kymyona Burk To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs slams McCarthy's debt ceiling deal citing, “more Democrats voted for it than Republicans,” showing warning signs of Speaker McCarthy's honeymooning period ending. Biggs comments that in fielding calls from constituents, 99% of the calls in the days leading up to the debt ceiling vote, were to “vote no on the debt ceiling”, and “to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker.” The Freedom Caucus member says that it is unsure of what will happen next, but says he is “concerned about the new coalition that [he] sees coming together, and it isn't one that brings in all of the Republican families in the conference. It's one where you're instead going to shut out some people and replace them with Democrats.” He says this is evidenced by the votes in the debt ceiling bill which “had more Democrats vote for this than Republicans, and that's after [Republicans] were told there was not a single thing in there for for Democrats.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
