Lionel delivers an entertaining and informative hour focused on the painful truth about America's crisis of identity. The host confronts the political use of labels like "racist," "Islamophobe," and "anti-semite," arguing that these terms no longer mean anything and are merely used to tell people to "shut up". The core issue? The loss of American culture due to the failure of assimilation and the threat of cultural replacement. Lionel discusses the dangers of Islamism—a political ideology disguised as a religion—and reveals his shock when a staunch leftist friend decides to vote Republican due to the multiplication of "headscarves" in her neighborhood. Drawing on a list of countries (including France, Belgium, and Japan) that have imposed bans or restrictions on full face coverings (like the burka and nikab) for reasons of cultural cohesion and national security, the show debates whether we are in the middle of a cultural war. Plus, a deep dive into the New York City mayoral race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

3. Kievan Rus Assimilation and the Unsolved Mystery of the Salme Ships Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age In the east, Rurik and his company founded what became Kievan Rus, shifting their power base south from Novgorod (862) to Kiev. Although people of Norse heritage controlled the area initially, they were a minority who mastered cultural assimilation with Slavic groups. Norse names like Ingvar and Helga became Slavicized as Igor and Olga, demonstrating extensive cultural mixing. The text also covers the mystery of the Salme ships in Estonia, recently discovered. These two ship burials, dated around 750 AD and predating Lindisfarne, contained the remains of dozens of high-status individuals from Sweden who died violently, likely on a diplomatic mission. One leader was buried with the king piece of the popular board game Hnefatafl placed in his mouth—an intentional act of storytelling.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with author and host of Maiden Mother Matriarch podcast, Louise Perry. We delve into confronting some of the most pressing cultural and political divides in the West today, particularly in Britain.We unpack the rise of gender polarisation, exploring why young women are shifting sharply leftwards while young men drift right. Louise explains how class, marriage, and maternal instincts shape political identity, and why progressive ideologies around immigration, transgenderism, and abortion have often harmed the very women they claim to protect.From the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal and elites' betrayal of Britain, Louise exposes uncomfortable truths about class contempt, cultural fear, and why working-class women are bearing the brunt of progressive experiments.We also discuss the legacy of the post-war consensus, fears of fascism, and how politics has taken on a new quasi-religious dimension for younger generations.This fearless conversation explores women, class, progressivism, immigration, and the dangerous myths shaping our future.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the extended conversation here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/p/louise-perry-civil-war-elite-betrayal?r=18lfab-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction 1:12 Impact of Progressive Policies on Women8:46 Class and Gender Polarisation9:57 Religious and Compassionate Instincts in Progressive Politics30:33 Class and Political Polarisation44:45 The Role of Media and Social Media in Political Polarisation45:49 The Future of British Politics and Society 1:13:46 The Challenge of Assimilation and Integration1:19:00 Welfare State and Its Implications 1:20:59 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Jeffrey Rosen calls in to discuss his new book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. Rosen explains the enduring clash between Hamilton's vision of a strong federal government and powerful executive, and Jefferson's emphasis on states' rights and individual liberties. Also, Phase two of the Gaza peace plan is highly complex involving numerous countries, governments, and figures like Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, and Dermer, who deserve credit for their efforts. However, Hamas, a terrorist group per its 1988 charter calling for Israel's destruction via jihad, establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia, rejection of negotiations, and anti-Semitic rhetoric, refuses to disarm or surrender, instead centralizing power by torturing and killing challengers among Palestinians. The world, including the UN, universities, and Hamas supporters, remains silent on Hamas's slaughter of fellow Palestinians. Qatar's Emir condemns Israel as committing genocide in Gaza, reaffirms support for Palestine without denouncing Hamas, while Turkey's Erdogan blocks Netanyahu from a regional meeting. Israel previously surrounded and nearly destroyed Hamas but withdrew for peace and international pressure; now, hesitant Arab/Muslim nations refuse troops in Gaza, leaving Israel and the IDF to eliminate Hamas for lasting peace.

2. Galicia, World War I, and the Finkel Family's Soviet Incorporation This segment explores Western Ukraine (Galicia), distinct from the Russian Empire until relatively late. While Russia used forced assimilation and violence against Ukrainians, Galicia under the Austro-Hungarian Empire practiced tolerance, allowing Ukrainian language and nationalism to flourish. St. Petersburg deeply feared this, viewing the small region as a "Ukrainian Piedmont" that could spread nationalistic ideas and eventually unite Ukraine against Russian control. This anxiety—the desire to seize and Russify Galicia—was a key, often overlooked reason for Russia's entry into World War I. Russia occupied Galicia briefly but failed to keep it; however, in 1939, following the division of Poland by Stalin and Hitler, Western Ukraine was finally incorporated into the Soviet Union. The professor's grandfather, Israel/Lev Finkel, fought bravely for the USSR in the Great Patriotic War despite his Galician background, demonstrating the complex loyalties resulting from shifting imperial projects.

Standing at the threshold of the new year, reflection shows that Israel's survival has never depended on power, land, or culture, but solely on Torah and mitzvos. Assimilation and compromise endanger our essence, while our uniqueness—living as “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”—is our true strength and mission. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/013/5771

The provided text critiques the American concept of pluralism, arguing that it functions as a hegemonic assimilation process rather than genuine co-existence of cultures. It suggests that while outwardly appearing to embrace diversity, America metaphorically "sands down" cultural differences until they are merely superficial "flavor" added to a dominant "American" base. The author contends that what is often labeled "racism" is, in fact, this persistent pressure to conform, enforced through various means, from historical "Americanization schools" to contemporary pop culture. The piece contrasts this subtle, yet forceful, assimilation with Germany's more explicit integration policies and notes the unique challenges faced by African Americans who cannot "sand down" their racial identity. Ultimately, the text asserts that American pluralism demands compliance with the dominant culture's rules, punishing non-compliance.
Wir Menschen vergleichen uns permanent mit anderen. Macht die Kollegin den Job besser? Bin ich als Vater gut genug? Wer hat den schönsten Körper, das dickste Auto, die schlausten Kinder. Warum können wir einfach nicht aufhören, uns mit anderen zu vergleichen? Was macht das mit uns, immer auf andere zu gucken anstatt auf uns selbst. Atze und Leon klären die Psychologie dahinter. Wer besser versteht, warum und wie wir uns vergleichen, kann sich selbst Druck nehmen.

While America began as an Anglo-Protestant nation, it has managed to assimilate new groups like the Germans and Irish over time. The process has been so effective that some now see the United States as a land of immigrants capable of adding any and every new arrival into its fold. But many groups are now building resilient enclaves inside the United States, in some cases building giant statues to foreign gods in the public square. Andrew Beck of Beck and Stone joins me to discuss the critical problem of immigration and assimilation in modern America.

Is Superman Woke—or Just Wonderfully Human? Can a superhero cut through the world's chaos better than a political debate or another sermon? New York Times columnist David French and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore explore why Superman still strikes a cultural nerve—especially in the age of outrage and “wokeness” debates. From his immigrant origins to the often-overlooked theme of adoption, they unpack how James Gunn's 2025 reboot revives timeless questions about identity, belonging, moral courage, and kindness.

For decades, Alejandro Portes (CASBS fellow 1980-81) has been among our most distinguished scholars elucidating the causes and consequences of immigration and assimilation. René D. Flores (CASBS fellow 2023-24) engages Portes in a conversation spanning large swaths of Portes's formidable intellectual biography, including his personal journey from Cuba and its influence on his academic trajectory, as well as his approach to social science inquiry and its delivery of insights leading to some of his most celebrated and consequential works.ALEJANDRO PORTES: Princeton faculty page | CV | Univ. of Miami faculty page | Wikipedia page | on Google Scholar | Biographical sketches of Portes: American Sociological Association | National Academy of Education | Princeton | National Institutes of Health | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences | Robert K.

More than a century ago, 10,000 Russian Jews immigrated to Texas through a coordinated effort led in part by Rachel's great-grandfather and inspired by Zionist thinker Israel Zangwill. Rachel shares the personal journey that led her to uncover this buried history and write Melting Point, which explores themes of migration, memory, and identity. Together, Brad and Rachel examine how this movement reframes common narratives about Jewish immigration, the American frontier, and what it means to seek a homeland. They discuss the spiritual dimensions of migration, the complexity of assimilation, and the ongoing relevance of these themes in the context of current immigration debates. This episode weaves together history, personal legacy, and timely questions about belonging, borders, and the meaning of “home” in America.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss Ryan Coogler's latest film, Sinners, starring Michael B Jordan, Miles Caton, Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, and Jack O'Connell. The film follows twin brothers who return to their hometown to start a juke joint but run up against an unlikely problem. The film is deeply layered but one aspect we discuss thoroughly throughout is the idea of assimilation into what is perceived as a dominant or better culture/way of life from ones already a part of it versus the ability to be truly free and make your own impact with the need to give up any parts of yourself in the process.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to rip into one of the most turbulent weeks in global politics and economics we've seen in a long time. We break down not just the moves, but the motives and the possible massive consequences behind Trump's high-octane foreign policy—from slashing tariffs with China and locking in a colossal Saudi investment deal, to taking the unprecedented step of targeting Big Pharma with an executive order to lower drug prices. We get into whether all this fast action is actually helping America or just stirring up more chaos. Are we leveraging our moment, or just getting played by the likes of Xi and Putin? Does tough talk and bold negotiating end with real results for America, or are we setting ourselves up for long-term headaches, especially with midterms on the horizon? Then we peel back the layers on some of the rawest culture war issues, from immigration crackdowns in the UK, the controversy about a Muslim-majority city in Texas, to the viral video of world leaders acting out-of-pocket on a train to Kiev.
