Podcasts about Divisive

As the Trump administration targets the Smithsonian Institute for "divisive narratives" and "improper ideology," it got us thinking about how we preserve our history and everything that builds it, like language. So we're revisiting an episode from last year from the Lakota Nation in South Dakota over language — who preserves it, who has the right to the stories told in it, and who (literally) owns it.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It may only be about five years old, but The Last of Us: Part II is quite easily one of the greatest games of all-time. Thus, it not only deserves its own episode of KnockBack, but a seven-ish hour one, the longest show in Last Stand history to date. Divisive even before it came out -- but absolutely dripping with style, message, and storytelling -- TLoU2 is a tale about endless violence and cyclical revenge, the kind that you simply can't back away from. The deeper Ellie and Abby fall into their timeless feud, the less they gain and the more they lose. But they just can't help themselves. They refuse to. It's at the heart of what makes this game so incredibly great, and perhaps what makes it so very controversial, too. There's little else to say, other than that the Brothers Moriarty wanted to give love to one of gaming's most phenomenal adventures. Click play for the result... Learn more about your ad choices.

                                                   Is Feminism Divisive? (Part 2)                                   The Black Spy Podcast, Season 19, Episode 0006   The question of whether Feminism is divisive depends on how it is understood and framed in society. One could argue that at its core Feminism advocates for gender equality seeking to dismantle systemic inequalities that disadvantage most women and other marginalized groups. However, because it challenges long-standing social norms and power structures, it can be divisive, particularly by those who follow more assertive strands of the concept. Of course as with all such issues, those accustomed to the benefits of the status quo, will often find any change negative. One reason Feminism is seen as divisive is the presence of different feminist ideologies. While mainstream Feminism promotes equality, more radical radical strands critique not just patriarchy but also but also capitalism and other structural forces, sometimes alienating those who do not share these views. Additionally , opponents of Feminism sometimes misrepresent its mainstream goals, framing it as a movement that seeks female superiority as opposed to equality. Moreover, media portrayal and political rhetoric have contributed to feminism's divisive image . Sensationalized debates and extreme viewpoints tend to dominate discussions, overshadowing the movement's broader goals. The podcast also considers the unequal roots 0f feminism, from the suffragettes to their modern day equivalents its white middle class orientation in the West did much for people of a mirror image , but little for their working class or none white sisters. Ultimately, while Feminism can create tension, Feminism's stated purpose has latterly sought to foster inclusivity, not division, by often advocating for equal rights and opportunities.

Tucker Carlson has been at the center of several significant developments and controversies recently. One of the most notable aspects is his ongoing commentary and debates on various political and social issues. For instance, Carlson was involved in a debate with Chris Cuomo where they discussed a range of topics including JFK and Epstein files, Joe Rogan, NATO, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. This debate highlighted Carlson's stance on meritocracy and his criticism of DEI initiatives, which he believes undermine the principle of merit-based opportunities. His comments sparked discomfort among some viewers, particularly those who felt his words were dismissive of the racial constructs and the historical barriers faced by minority communities[1].In terms of his media ventures, Carlson continues to operate his own social media channels and podcast, "The Tucker Carlson Show," where he discusses current events, politics, and social issues. Recent episodes have covered topics such as the proposed ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia, the influence of Mexican drug cartels, and the broader geopolitical landscape. These discussions often feature guest commentators like Doug Macgregor, adding diverse perspectives to his platform[3].Reactions to Carlson's comments have been varied and often critical. Many have criticized his views on meritocracy and DEI, arguing that they overlook systemic inequalities and the historical context of racial and social disparities. These criticisms underscore the ongoing debates about Carlson's influence on media and politics, with some viewing him as a polarizing figure who resonates with a specific audience but alienates others[1].There have been no recent reports of legal or professional developments directly involving Carlson, but his influence on public discourse remains a subject of discussion. His ability to shape opinions and spark controversy continues to be a topic of interest, particularly given his significant following and the impact of his voice on political and social conversations.In terms of interactions with other public figures, Carlson's debates and discussions with personalities like Chris Cuomo and Doug Macgregor are noteworthy. These interactions often highlight the divisive nature of his commentary and the strong reactions it elicits from both supporters and critics.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

Hey Encourager! Welcome back to Encouraging the Encouragers with Mitch Matthews. In today's Philosophy Friday episode, we're diving into a single, powerful word: love.

Donald Trump's marathon speech to the US Congress at the start of his second term unveiled his sweeping conservative vision for America. Reaction to it has largely followed political lines, with Republicans hailing his remarks, and Democrats saying he has overstepped his constitutional authority and is causing widespread harm with his changes. And few in the international community are happy either.

In a fiery 90-minute address, President Donald Trump delivered a boastful victory speech to a joint session of Congress. Trump declared, "America is back," and touted his administration's swift and unrelenting actions. However, the speech was packed with exaggerated claims, divisive rhetoric, and inaccurate statements. He highlighted his border policies, calling for harsher deportations, and defended his tariffs, which critics say have only driven up consumer prices. Despite the rhetoric, he avoided discussing key issues like Medicare and healthcare reform, focusing instead on cultural battles. The speech also took a turn when Texas Rep. Al Green protested Trump's claims and was ejected from the chamber for shouting during the address. Several Democrats walked out in protest while Republicans cheered Trump's every word. The speech lacked concrete solutions to the economic challenges facing everyday Americans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

”I grew up thinking that Christianity was basically cruel and hypocritical.” “The core teachings of Jesus align very well with the core teachings of James Madison.” “That's why we need Christianity. It's not because we don't have reason to fear. It's because we do.” —Jonathan Rauch, from the episode We're at a crossroads, where Christianity and secularism in America are both operating at cross-purposes, and both need a critical reassessment of their role in democratic public life. In his new book, Jonathan Rauch “reckons candidly with both the shortcomings of secularism and the corrosion of Christianity.” He “addresses secular Americans who think Christianity can be abandoned, and Christian Americans who blame secular culture for their grievances.” Jonathan Rauch is senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of several books, including The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth and his latest book (under discussion in this episode),  Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy. Follow him on X @jon_rauch. He is also a celebrated essayist, a contributing writer for The Atlantic, and a recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. In this episode Mark Labberton and Jonathan Rauch discuss: Republican virtue What Jesus and James Madison have in common The political idolatry of secularism The differences between the thin church, sharp church, and thick church The political orientation of the church in exile Tyrannical fear The Morman church's example of civic theology “of patience, negotiation, and mutual accommodation” The promise of power in exchange for loyalty About Jonathan Rauch Jonathan Rauch is senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of several books, including The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth and his latest book (under discussion in this episode),  Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy. Follow him on X @jon_rauch. Show Notes Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth Reasonable, civic mindedness “Graciousness toward a faith you don't share.” “Of course I knew I was Jewish. I also knew that the idea of God seemed silly to me. I just never, never could believe it.” The Rev. Dr. Mark McIntosh 2003 Atlantic article: “The dumbest thing I ever wrote” celebrating secularism in America (”Let It Be,” The Atlantic, May 2003) “ It turned out that when Christianity started to fail, people started looking for substitutes, because they were looking for a source of identity and values and transcendent meaning.” Political idolatry of secularism “A major reason the country is becoming ungovernable is because of Christianity's crisis. We can no longer separate the two, and that's why I, a very secular person, am writing a book about Christianity.” “Moving away from the teachings of Jesus…” “The core teachings of Jesus align very well with the core teachings of James Madison.” Mark's description of his father: “ My dad used to save certain neck veins for the discussion of religion because he felt like it was something that should be avoided, at that time, at all costs, particularly its most zealous kind. And his primary critique was that what religious people do is that they take great things and make them small. …   What shocked me when I became a Christian was this discovery that Jesus and my dad had this same theme in common, that Jesus often objected to the small making of various religious authorities of his day.” “God's capacious grace, creativity, purpose, and love” Will the church live in its identity as followers of Jesus? “Christianity is a load-bearing wall in our liberal democracy.” “Republican virtues” (not the party): lawful, truthful, civic education, tolerant, pluralistic Christianity's role in upholding the unprecedented religious freedom “When Christians begin demanding things that are inconsistent with those core values, that makes everything else in the country harder.” “The thin church is a church that blends into the surrounding culture and it becomes diluted.” “The sharp church is …  where the church takes on the political colorations of the surrounding environment, aligns itself with a political party.” Divisive and polarizing “The third is the thick church. And there, the challenge is that you want a church to be counter cultural. You want it to have a strong sense of its own values. Otherwise, it's just not doing the work. So it needs to ask a lot of its followers. It needs to give a lot back in exchange. That's what sociologists mean by, by thick communities and groups. At the same time, it needs to be reasonably well aligned with our constitution and our liberal democratic values.” Church of fear Fear of demographic decline Cultural fear and losing the country to the woke Left Fear of emasculation Plain old political fear: “Our side needs to win.” Fear as a major theme of the Bible Fear of God as “the beginning of wisdom” “A communion of unlike people. … A workshop in which the character of God … is meant to be learned.” Immaturity and lack of wisdom in the church “The chief defense of the faith in the world that Jesus died and rose is that unlike people find communion with one another in a union that only Jesus Christ's death and resurrection could actually accomplish.” “Tyrannical fear”—a drive for dominance “Fear is part of the human condition. Yet what's so countercultural about Christianity, is its teaching that you can't be governed by that fear. You can't let it run your life and go around in a state of panic. And that Jesus Christ himself had lots to be fearful of, as we know from the end that he came to, and yet comported himself in this calm and dignified way, did not let fear triumph over him. That's why we need Christianity. It's not because we don't have reason to fear. It's because we do.” “Fear casts out love.” Trump administration['s] … demonstration of a capacity to have literally no compassion, no empathy.” The paradigm of Exodus versus the paradigm of exile Isaiah 58: “ Now as strangers in a strange land in Babylon, I'm going to ask you: Who are you now? Who do you trust now? Who are you going to put the full weight of your life on now?” “Exilic Church” “ Christianity is not about owning the country or winning in politics.” “It can't be a coincidence that at a moment when (at least) white Protestantism in the United States is obsessed with political influence and has mortgaged itself to the least Christlike figure possibly in American political history (in any case, right up there) that its numbers are shrinking catastrophically.” “The irony of the cross always is this self emptying power.” [Trump] is saying, “I will give you power, and in exchange, you will give me unquestioning loyalty.” Comparing Trump's transaction (at Dordt University in Iowa) “If you vote for me, you will have power” with the temptation of Christ in the desert: “All of this will be yours if you bow down to me.” Transactional relationship with power The Mormon church's “ civic theology … of patience, negotiation, and mutual accommodation” Jesus: “Don't be afraid, imitate Jesus, and forgive each other.” Madisonian liberalism: “Don't panic if you lose an election, protect minorities and the dignity of every individual, and don't seek retribution if you win, share the country.” “When Gandhi was asked what he thought of Western civilization, he said, ‘It would be a good idea.'” Black church and MLK Jr.—”emphasis on Reverend” “You accept the stripes and the crown of thorns. You turn the other cheek.” Profoundly counterintuitive countercultural example Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Political Scientists Lauren C. Bell, Allison Rank, and Carah Ong Whaley have a new edited volume, Civic Pedagogies: Teaching Civic Engagement in an Era of Divisive Politics (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024). This book has four separate sections that guide the reader through different dimensions of teaching civic engagement and the many aspects of this important pedagogical capacity that often falls on the shoulders of political science faculty at universities and colleges in the United States. In our discussion we cover the idea of civic engagement itself as an approach that many of us integrate into our courses in a variety of ways. Civic Pedagogies focuses on this complex topic first through a number of chapters that dive into the theory behind civic engagement and how to think about this concept as a dimension of or the entirety of a college course. The next section of the book takes up a variety of different practical approaches to embedding civic learning into courses. The last two sections of the book explore the challenges and benefits of civically engaged pedagogies and, finally, assessment of civically engaged pedagogies. This is a thorough and thoughtful book with an impressive array of contributing authors all thinking about not only the importance of civically engaged pedagogies, but also the unique dimensions of this kind of pedagogy. The three editors explain, in our conversation, different points of importances that were fleshed out by the many contributors and their thinking about how best to embed this vital component of education within a democracy. Civic Pedagogies: Teaching Civic Engagement in an Era of Divisive Politics has so many different perspectives that it provides a rich array of options for most educators who want or need to integrate civic pedagogies into their classrooms. In our discussion, we also explore the value of being able to engage on public topics and political questions in a civil manner—both in the classroom itself and then, as students move into their lives beyond college, as members of their communities.

In our discussion we cover the idea of civic engagement itself as an approach that many of us integrate into our courses in a variety of ways. Civic Pedagogies focuses on this complex topic first through a number of chapters that dive into the theory behind civic engagement and how to think about this concept as a dimension of or the entirety of a college course. The next section of the book takes up a variety of different practical approaches to embedding civic learning into courses. The last two sections of the book explore the challenges and benefits of civically engaged pedagogies and, finally, assessment of civically engaged pedagogies. This is a thorough and thoughtful book with an impressive array of contributing authors all thinking about not only the importance of civically engaged pedagogies, but also the unique dimensions of this kind of pedagogy. The three editors explain, in our conversation, different points of importances that were fleshed out by the many contributors and their thinking about how best to embed this vital component of education within a democracy. Civic Pedagogies: Teaching Civic Engagement in an Era of Divisive Politics has so many different perspectives that it provides a rich array of options for most educators who want or need to integrate civic pedagogies into their classrooms. In our discussion, we also explore the value of being able to engage on public topics and political questions in a civil manner—both in the classroom itself and then, as students move into their lives beyond college, as members of their communities.

They're tryna get WHO in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?! Trump wants to do away with the penny - how would that work? MAGA hated Taylor Swift before it was cool

"PREVIEW: Colleague Judy Dempsey in Berlin comments on Germany's upcoming February 23 election vote involving the divisive AfD party."

Some of us curl into balls in the face of confrontation. Others pick a fight. Neither sounds super great for dealing with tough conversations, does it? Irshad Manji has thought a lot about how find common ground in polarized times, and the bestselling author and thinker joins Caroline Hillier on stage at the Halifax Central Library to explain all of that. A talk recorded in March 2024 as part of Hear Me Out, a collaboration between CBC Atlantic and the Halifax Public Libraries.

Edition No91 | 05-02-2025 - About 8 months ago I spotted an uptick in allusions to a certain narrative – the illegitimacy of Ukraine's president. His elected term formally ended in May 2024, but under the country's martial law no election can be held. Let's make this clear, it would be unconstitutional and unlawful for Zelenskyy to call an election. We'll examine the impracticality of this later. ---------- We ran two events in Ukraine in the last two weeks. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- More than five years have now passed since May 20, 2019, when Zelensky was sworn in to the Verkhovna Rada, and boldly stated: "Each of us is president." He was elected with 73.2% of ballots cast by voters who dreamt of change. Among his many promises of transformation was a key one to negotiate an end to the war in the Donbas. He also committed to end corruption, improve pensions, raise wages, and many other enticing promises. Instead, what he and Ukraine got was war – full-scale, brutal and destructive, imperial, genocidal, relentless. The former comedian turned war leader has changed beyond recognition. Physically of course the impact of war has been obvious. But he has also matured into a great speaker, persuader and one of the most iconic war leaders of history. His words have matured, his face has hardened, his beard has grown. Zelensky now only appears in combat fatigues, an outfit that has remained unchanged since the invasion of February 24, 2022. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://www.rferl.org/a/trump-ukraine-peace-elections/33303303.html https://kyivindependent.com/us-urges-ukraine-to-hold-elections-after-ceasefire-trumps-envoy-tells-reuters/ https://unherd.com/newsroom/america-should-not-pressure-ukraine-into-elections/ https://news.sky.com/story/us-wants-ukraine-to-hold-elections-following-potential-ceasefire-trump-envoy-says-13301316 https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-freak-out-us-russia-push-election/ https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/05/23/volodymyr-zelensky-a-president-with-no-term-end_6672475_4.html ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ----------

Study after study shows that bike lanes make roads safer for everyone and have a minimal effect on traffic congestion. Yet, in Canadian cities, they're not always popular. In Toronto, they're arguably the most divisive piece of road infrastructure, with the Ontario government introducing a plan to remove bike lanes on three major streets in the city and restrict new ones from being built. In this episode of City Space, we're looking at Toronto's complicated history with bike lanes and how they became so political.

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the bombshell new reporting about serious evidence of Kamala Harris' past plagiarism, whether she plagiarized a fake story and pretended it actually happened, the way the media is ignoring these allegations so far compared to how they covered Biden's plagiarism, and more. Then Hogan Gidley, GOP strategist, and Doug Schoen, Democratic strategist, join to discuss how Kamala is fading in the polls the more interviews and public appearances she does, her constant repetition of talking points during three different town halls with Liz Cheney yesterday, Kamala attacking Trump supporters before correcting herself, how the left is claiming they're on the receiving end of "violent" rhetoric despite the Trump assassination attempts, how she's dividing the country more than ever, what we can learn about the early voting numbers so far, the historic under-polling of Trump and if the polls are fixed this time around, how Trump is now ahead in every swing state polling average, and more. Then Xi Van Fleet, author of "Mao's America," joins to discuss her experience growing up in Communist China during the Cultural Revolution, how her experience there parallels Kamala's rhetoric now, the dangers that Americans need to know about, the similarities she has noticed between Mao and Kamala's messaging, the focus on division among the left today, and more.Gidley- https://x.com/JHoganGidleySchoen- https://www.amazon.com/Politics-Life-Middle-Hostile-Adversarial/dp/1682452263Van Fleet-https://x.com/XVanFleet Birch Gold: Text MEGYN to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldHome Title Lock: https://HomeTitleLock.com and use the promo code MEGYNBlackout Coffee: https://BlackoutCoffee.com/MK or use the code MK for 20% off your first orderFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow
