Richie McGinniss discussed his book "Riot Diet" and its sequel, which covers protests from Kenosha to January 6. He highlighted the shift in political paradigms, noting that while BLM protests were largely peaceful, recent protests against Tesla dealerships were more violent. McGinniss criticized the media's role in polarizing issues and emphasized the impact of social media algorithms on public perception. He also discussed the influence of special interests on politics, the rise of Trump, and the societal challenges faced by children from single-parent households, linking these to increased mental health issues and political unrest. The conversation between Richie McGinniss and Chuck Shute delves into the societal impacts of social media, the role of protests and media in shaping public perception, and the political dynamics of recent years. They discuss the influence of figures like Trump and Musk, the complexities of the BLM movement, and the challenges of bridging political divides. McGinniss shares insights from his book, highlighting the experiences of both left and right-wing individuals during protests. They also touch on the evolving nature of political parties and the importance of open-minded dialogue. The discussion concludes with hopes for a more unified and constructive approach to societal issues.0:00:00 - Intro0:00:21 - Riot Diet 1 & 2 0:01:03 - The Tesla Riots0:02:03 - Funding & Organizing Protests 0:03:12 - WTO Protests, Free Trade & Paradigm Shift 0:10:02 - Left & Right Switching Philosophies  0:13:05 - Counterculture & Silicon Valley 0:15:05 - Having Conversations & Political Participation 0:17:30 - Reinventing Platforms & Shrinking Middle Class 0:21:00 - Definition of Freedom & Extreme Right & Left 0:25:25 - White Supremacy, BLM & Race Relations 0:34:41 - Politicians Raising Money & Lobbies 0:37:30 - Motivation for Doctors, Healthcare & Covid  0:40:01 - Vaccines, Lockdowns & Perceptions0:41:30 - Red & Blue & Tribal Identity 0:43:02 - Media Bias, Hunter Biden Laptop & Trump0:48:33 - Extremes, Pejoratives, Algorithms & Media 0:51:15 - Kyle Rittenhouse is Not a Hero or White Supremacist 0:57:20 - Root Causes, Personal Happiness, & Social Media 1:07:03 - Protests, Media Narrative & Schmoozers 1:10:43 - Narrative of BLM Protests Vs.

This week, we're continuing last week's footnote on the postwar ultraright. How did the fall of the Soviet Union affect the anti-communist focus of the extreme right? How has its rhetoric been shaped by an odd relationship with the left? And how does modern extreme rightism manifest in the ideas of men like Kobayashi Yoshinori and groups like Nippon Kaigi? Show notes here.

This week's footnote: the first of two parts on the postwar extreme right. This week, we're mostly focusing on the extreme right in the first few decades of the Cold War, and in particular on the story of Akao Bin and his Aikokuto. How did a convicted socialist end up as one of Japan's foremost violent anticommunists--and how did his ideas shape a new reality for the postwar right? Show notes here. 

Language can feel like a battlefield with words meaning different things to different people. Words such as "woke," "freedom," and even "taxes" have fraught definitions depending on whom you ask. Carol Off, former host of CBC Radio's "As it Happens," writes about all this in her new book: "At a Loss for Words: Conversation in an Age of Rage." She joins Steve Paikin to discuss her insights on the meaning behind six words. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Germany reels from its first extreme right wing party election victory since 1933, the World in 10 asks if Naziism is on its way back? Is this the new normal? And could the Alternative for Germany party have an impact on global politics? Or is the country's history simply making this a more dramatic-looking story than the reality?

Dr. Robert Hilliard has worn many hats over the course of his life. Born in 1925, Hilliard served as a soldier in World War II. Since then, he's been a journalist, educator, author, playwright, and humanitarian activist. He lives in Southwest Florida these days and is a member of the nonpartisan nonprofit Floridians for Democracy. At the age of 99 and having lived the life he's lived, we invited him back into the studio to reflect on the place we find ourselves politically in this country. And get his take on what he calls open fascism in the modern political right, with the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 being a prime example.

In this imperfectly perfect conversation, I talk with Dr Ash Brockwell who is Associate Professor and Problem-Based Learning Lead at London Interdisciplinary School (LIS) We start with Ash's journey into education. He is an interdisciplinary educator, writer, and consultant. He holds an MBiochem degree in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry from the University of Oxford, an MSc in Environmental Anthropology from the University of Kent, and a PhD in Education for Sustainability from Wageningen University and Research Centre in The Netherlands. We also discussed belonging and othering and the rise of the Extreme Right in Europe. Finally we talked about Ash's latest book and the language we use to talk about us humans as not separate from nature and that we are all inter and intra connected. And so much more... I loved every minute of this dialogue and I invite you to listen in. I am sure you won't regret it.

28th January 2024 recorded live at Zimmer48, with Izzy and Dan plus two guest hosts: Maria Debinska, a research fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry in Berlin and Megan Whittington of German news in English podcast Megan's Megacan.   Support Radio Spaetkauf: https://www.radiospaetkauf.com/donate/   A bahn-strike started last Wednesday, running six days until the morning of January 29th included the S-Bahn. The rail worker's union, the GDL, is advocating for a shorter 35-hour work week with full pay,  a wage increase of €555 per month immediately as well as a €3,000 one off inflation compensation. Deutsche Bahn has offered only a 4.8% raise for 2024, 5% in 2025 and 2.7% in 2026.    Berlin's mayor Kai Wegner and education secretary Katharina Günther-Wünsch revealed they were in a romantic relationship. An anti-semitism clause proposed by CDU politician Joe Chialo was deemed a violation of artists' constitutional rights. Agricultural sector protestors brought the city centre of Berlin to a standstill. Emergency vehicles were blocked and streets took hours to clear. The protests were organised in opposition to the proposed end of tax exemptions for diesel used in agricultural vehicles. A meteorite listed as 2024 BX1 crashed near Berlin last Sunday night and has not yet been found. According to Thomas Becker of Westhavelland Star Park, it may have crashed in an area east of Nennhausen. If you come across a suspicious looking rock, don't touch it. Members of the AfD and some CDU were present at a secret meeting last November in a villa outside Potsdam along with extreme right activists including Martin Sellner of the Identitarian Movement. Plans to ‘re-migrate' both foreigners and Germans from a foreign country were discussed. In response over a million people across Germany took to the streets, demonstrating against right wing extremism. Berlin politicians left in protest when AfD state Chair Kristin Brinker rose to speak at a recent Assembly session. Green party leader Bettina Jarasch commented that it would be wrong to ‘listen to AfD denials', and Berlin CDU parliamentary group leader Dirk Strettner said “I don't listen to right wing radical relativising and lying.” January 27th was Holocaust Remembrance Day, and commemorations were held across the city, including in Reinickendorf where the BVV has five AfD members who were automatically invited to the ceremony, so a local alliance against the far right organised an alternative vigil on another memorial site. Jonny Tiernan of Ex Berliner Magazine joins us to discuss changes in the print edition and invite us to take part in their research into the sex lives of Berliners.

A talk given by Trademark at UNI IndustriALL Trade Union conference on the rise of the extreme right in Marseilles 13.11.23

What encourages voters to support populist right parties? What has made Marine Le Pen's discourse so powerful, especially with regards to its female vote share? What policies do radical right parties generally look for at the European Union level? Could support for the radical left and the radical right overlap?

Nonna Mayer is an emeritus researcher at France's Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). She is also a researcher at Sciences Po's Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, and was president of the French Association of Political Science between 2005 and 2016.

Judaism takes a very different view of sex than much of mainstream culture in the U.S. Mischaracterization or misunderstanding of some of these differences may have evolved into some of the many anti-Semitic stereotypes (including conflicting ones…goes to show the solid reasoning behind stereotypes), but the general discourse among modern American Jews at least is, overall, pretty sex-positive. My views of sex were always a bit different, a bit more nuanced, perhaps, from my peers, so I went to the source: my mother. She's a pretty unusual sort in her own right, and has diligently passed along some of our rule-bending values and family traditions I didn't even know about. We'll learn how her parents talked to her about sex in the ‘60s, her youth as a “flower child,” and how that informed her dealing with my own and my siblings' high school hijinks. Join me and my little old Jewish mother for some laughter and insight, and maybe even a fresh perspective of how sex, love, and responsibility for one another are a perfectly natural—and often wonderful—part of life. GLOSSARY:Kibbutznik: A resident of a kibbutz, a type of communal agricultural settlement founded in Israel at the beginning of the 20th century where members shared income, meals, housing, duties and decision-making responsibilities.

Last week, Tasha Adams watched her ex-husband, Stewart Rhodes, get sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. Rhodes both founded and led the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government militia group that marched on the Capitol during the January 6th insurrection. Earlier the same week, Adams also finalized her divorce proceedings against Rhodes — ending over twenty years of a marriage that culminated in abuse and isolation. In our last episode, OTM correspondent Micah Loewinger and Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex & Money, traveled to Montana to speak to Adams about her marriage with Rhodes. Now we're giving you an extended look at that conversation through a segment that originally aired on Death, Sex & Money.  Anna and Micah talk to Tasha about her decades-long marriage with Stewart, from their courtship in a ballroom dance class in Las Vegas, to abuse and isolation as Stewart became transfixed on politics and apocalyptic ideas. Plus, Tasha sits down with Kelly Jones, ex-wife of far-right radio host Alex Jones, and they compare notes on their marriages, and reflect on their secret text exchanges from 2018, when Tasha was plotting her escape from Stewart with her six kids.

Tasha Adams followed the trial of her estranged husband closely. In November 2022, Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. “I just was pretty obsessed with the whole thing,” Tasha said about the trial, “the idea of seeing Stewart face consequences is so huge for me.” In this episode, Anna and Micah Loewinger, correspondent for On the Media, travel to Montana to talk to Tasha about her decades-long marriage with Stewart, from their courtship in a ballroom dance class in Las Vegas, to abuse and isolation as Stewart became transfixed on politics and apocalyptic ideas.  Plus, Tasha sits down with Kelly Jones, ex-wife of far-right radio host Alex Jones, and they compare notes on their marriages, and reflect on their secret text exchanges from 2018, when Tasha was plotting her escape from Stewart with her six kids.

Today, we revisit our conversation with the author of ‘Rise of the Extreme Right', Lydia Khalil, on the far-right in Australia, its connections around the world and the best way to stop it from growing.

My neighbor two houses down recently sent me a Mere Fidelity podcast episode interviewing ‘What's Wrong with Rights?' author Dr. Nigel Biggar. While I'm glad to have gotten the episode, I did not at all care for the dismissive attitude toward even the concept of natural rights which Dr. Biggar communicated. It seems Dr. Biggar has only two categories for conversations about rights – statements of fact concerning the legal rights granted by civil governments, and moral appeals from the governed to be granted more rights by their governments. The trouble with this is that it leads to tyranny and arbitrary rule. Remember here the premise of Romans 13, that governing authority is God-given but has no less a mandate to reward those who do good and punish those who do evil. If that dual-purpose is what God has given this minister of civil government power and authority to achieve, it cannot possibly do its job well if it does not know what is right and wrong, or if we say that the government itself is the source of right and wrong. On a related note, New Zealand's prime minister says world leaders have an opportunity right now to crack down on free speech online. Ideas freely communicated are themselves weapons of war in her view. And given how her government and that of Australia next door handled the COVID business, it's not hard to imagine what kind of speech online she would like to see banned, or met with force if necessary to curtail. But even as New Zealand's prime minister is calling for more censorship, Italy's first female PM is being censored online. Shadowbanned, shares of her speech are being suppressed. Meanwhile, the mainstream media headlines when you search for her on Google all describe her as “Extreme Right,” and “Far Right,” and “Hard Right.” This is a word association game, and a kind of brainwashing. At the same time, Canada is reportedly allowing China to open up police stations to the north of us. Who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing? The only reason I can think of for why one nation would permit another nation to open up police stations in their country is colonization. That is to say, I see this as China colonizing Canada. That is also to say that I see New Zealand's PM talking about curtailing free speech online as a kind of colonization of at least the ideas of the Chinese Communist Party; it's the sort of thing they would do too, and have done now for decades. My wife sent me a link to a YouTube video share from the channel for ‘The Good and the Beautiful' in which the founder, Jenny Phillips, talks about the difference between popular children's books from 100-150 years ago and the most popular books of today. The sentences now are short, simple, action-oriented, and relatively more concerned with the self than with others and the surrounding environment. By contrast, books 100-150 years ago had far more complexity, and more adjectives – more describing words. Popular children's books today make no mention of God, but frequently do contain rude humor, and disparaging remarks about family relationships. It's not just that our expectations are so low; it's that many have demanded more and more that simplicity and self-absorption carry the day, rejecting work that is robust and espouses high ideals. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Religion and American Conservatism | The American far-right has, in many ways, become inseparable from religious conservatism and fervor. Religious movements and organizations provide the foundation, funding, and voting base of the extreme right in American politics, explains our latest guest. Katherine Stewart, the author of The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism, has spent her career reporting on the dwindling separation between church and state in the United States. In this episode of How to Fix Democracy, she joins host Andrew Keen to discuss how religious nationalism has been cultivated by leaders on the far-right for political gain.

This week we have a chat with Lydia Khalil about her new book The Rise Of The Extreme Right.

In the past five to six years, there's been a 300% increase in the rates of right wing political extremism throughout the world.

My informal weekly coffee with Heather Lofthouse (Executive Director of Inequality Media Civic Action, and my former student), discussing the past week. Today we talk about three things giving Heather a headache and making Bob's blood boil — the Supreme Court become so radically rightwing that even John Roberts has lost control over it, a Republican Party become so nuts that it's impervious to the January 6 committee hearings, and economists and policymakers at the Fed become such apologists for corporations that they're blaming inflation on wage increases rather than on corporate profits. Heather also gives old Bob the nicest compliment he's ever received. Please pull up a chair. This is a public episode.

In this episode, I discuss an article by the Spanish writer Pedro Trevijano in which he distinguishes between two extreme attitudes in one's moral philosophy. One is pharisiacal and rigid, judging others and claiming possession of absolute truth. The other has no sense of absolute truth and puts everything up for debate. I think this provides a helpful framework for considering ethical issues. https://www.religionenlibertad.com/opinion/574738836/relativismo-moral-catolico-extremismos.html?eti=5293##STAT_CONTROL_CODE_3_574738836##

Then, we look back on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination hearing. Plus, Have You Heard headlines to make sure you're up-to-date on the biggest stories from the week.

Extreme right-wing ideology is spreading. As France prepares for presidential elections in April, two candidates on the far-right are vying to replace current centrist President Emmanuel Macron. The right-wing darling Marine Le Pen and the even more extreme Eric Zemmour drive a daily political agenda of xenophobia, anti-globalization, anti-elites, and anti-immigration. This isn't just a French phenomenon. Right-wing parties are becoming extremist in much of the West-- from Scandinavia to Spain and across the ocean to America.    Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Alain Frachon, senior columnist and former Foreign Editor of Le Monde.

In this week's episode, Marian Duris (Foreign Policy Consultant to MEP - European Parliament) and I finish our conversation on the unprecedented challenges from all directions faced by the European Union this year. We discuss the reaction of the "V4" nations to the EU's heavy-handed policy on absorbing MENA migrants, Brussels' bullying, the federal/confederal debate, global terrorism trends flowing into Europe, the concept of 'European-ness', "no-go" areas in London + Paris. Lastly, we discuss whether the EU faces an existential threat from sectors in society who do not share a European Umwelt. Join us for a deep dive into the Union's boiling point.

Guest Maximilian Kreter joins Right Rising to discuss how the white power music scene funds and sustains the extreme right. Along with host Augusta Dell'Omo, Maximilian walks us through the financing of white power music and the importance of music festivals in radical right organizing. Maximilian explains how the white power music business evolved since the 1990s with the advent of the internet age, as a previous locally oriented music scene transformed into a global money-making enterprise.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2014, about 17.000 predominantly far-right foreign fighters joined the frontline to fight on both the Ukrainian and the separatist pro-Russian side. The majority of these fighters come from Russia and former Soviet republics, while around 1.000 also joined from the West.In today's podcast, Lucinda Creighton is joined by Kacper Rekawek, a researcher at CEP and a GLOBSEC associate fellow, to discuss this phenomenon. Kacper Rekawek has been working on Western foreign terrorist fighters engaged in the war in Donbas for the last five years. He is also the author of a CEP report entitled "Career Break or New Career? Extremist Foreign Fighters in Ukraine". Together they explore different aspects of the topic, such as the motivations of western foreign fighters, the context on the ground, transnational extreme right networks and the potential danger these fighters represent for their home countries.

Recent events like the storming of the US capitol on the 6th of January involved several far-right groups that used social media to organise, and the spread of various viral conspiracy theories online indicate that the extreme right is particularly agile in the online ecosystem. In this 5th episode of the Counter extremism podcast series, Lucinda Creighton interviewed CEP research analyst Joshua Fisher Birch on the rise of the extreme right online. Together they discussed the latest trends and developments in the US and beyond and outlined how the extreme right online could operate in the future.

Guest Simon Purdue joins Right Rising to break down why gender is so important to the extreme right. Along with host Augusta Dell'Omo, Simon takes us on a deep dive into some of the most consistent narratives around womanhood and gender in the U.S., U.K. and South African extreme right to help us understand why feminity is central to the ideology of these movements. Finally, Simon and Augusta explore how the extreme right uses narratives of womanhood to advance their racism and misogony. Special Guest: Simon Purdue.

The Recovery Atheist discusses the crazy Christian Evangelists from the TRA Entertainment Studios!!!Enjoy!!!

In the weeks leading up to the presidential election, Twitter and Facebook drew praise from political misinformation watchdogs for attaching warning labels to misleading posts and banning accounts associated with QAnon and other extremist groups. But those moves may have breathed life into so-called "free speech" platforms like Parler, where some prominent Trump supporters have migrated. We'll talk about the rising popularity of conservative social networks and their implications for our already deeply fractured national political discourse.

It increasingly feels like parts of the left and right agree that they should be able to dictate your personal morality, forcing you to adopt certain norms and values.One new study suggests that this is because parts of the far-right and woke left share the same "Dark Triad" personality traits -- including narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Another finds that these same traits are associated with strategically deploying victimhood to manipulate people. Shant and Zaid discuss these studies and what it says about contemporary politics.

The co-hosts interview Ralph Keller, who has been studying the resurgence of the extreme right in Germany and elsewhere in the European Union. They discuss the extent of the resurgence; why the resurgence is taking place; the influence of far-right ideas on ordinary people; and mainstream political parties’ appropriation of far-right ideas. Although no extreme-right group is yet in government anywhere in the European Union, Keller argues that the resurgence of the extreme right should nonetheless be an urgent matter of concern now, because its influence extends far beyond its hard-core adherents. He and the co-hosts also discuss the relationship between right-wing “speech” and right-wing violence. During the discussion, reference is made to Keller’s article, The Rise of the Extreme Right in Germany (https://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/international-news/the-rise-of-the-extreme-right-in-germany.html).

In this month's episode we hear from the historian Benjamin Bland. He presents a new interpretation of the role of fascism within contemporary British history, charting the history of the British neo-fascism and explores the reflections of fascism in underground music cultures from Morrissey, to Joy Division, to the white supremacist rock band Screwdriver. Benjamin reflects on the fact that at the start of his research the idea of Brexit wasn't comprehendible and President Trump hadn't announced his candidacy for presidency. Benjamin's historical research into punk and different fascist movements in Britain shows that the extreme right has actually influenced the politics of race and nation in contemporary Britain to a degree far greater than its lack of conventional political success may suggest. Thus, this research on the late twentieth century is hugely topical in our current political turmoil. He also goes on to a broader discussion of the challenges of doing a PhD whilst juggling teaching commitments and the pressure to publish and excel within the academic job market. A fascinating listen to historical issues that resonate strongly with our current political climate.

According to most major surveys, Republican candidates for the US House of Representatives have a tough hill to climb in November in districts without overwhelming support for the President. Attempting to put some daylight between them and Trump to appeal to independents, while not alienating the President's core base of supporters is no small task. But in an article published Oct. 2 entitled “The double lives of vulnerable House Republicans: A recording obtained by POLITICO highlights the conflicting advice GOP members in tough districts are getting,” Rachael Bade reveals that some members of the House's right-wing Freedom Caucus, namely Virginia Congressman Dave Brat, appear to be attempting to have it both ways—painting themselves as moderate Republicans while praising extreme right views and personalities at private campaign rallies. On this week's TrumpWatch, Rachel considers what this phenomenon means for the 2018 election.

(10/3/18) According to most major surveys, Republican candidates for the US House of Representatives in November have a tough hill to climb in districts without overwhelming support for the President. Attempting to put some daylight between them and Donald Trump to appeal to independents, while not alienating the President’s core base of supporters is no small task. But, in an article published Oct. 2 entitled “The double lives of vulnerable House Republicans: A recording obtained by POLITICO highlights the conflicting advice GOP members in tough districts are getting,” Rachael Bade of POLITICO reveals that some members of the House’s right-wing Freedom Caucus, namely Virginia Congressman Dave Brat, appear to be attempting to have it both ways—appealing to moderates in their wider message while praising extreme right views and personalities at private campaign rallies. In this week’s “TrumpWatch” on WBAI, host Jesse Lent talks to Rachel about what her reporting reveals about the 2018 election.

Breaking down the bogus narrative about the rise of the extreme right.

"On this episode, we welcome special guest Jay Dyer from Jay's Analysis to discuss the 2016 crime-drama Imperium.After gaining intelligence on radical Neo-Nazi groups, FBI Agent 'Nate' is tasked with infiltrating the heart of the White Supremacist movement to investigate a suspected terror plot. Once embedded into the highest levels of the network though, he eventually learns that there are no credible threats of terror, and is thus encouraged by his superiors to both inspire and facilitate one himself. We look the the parallels between the fictional story being told in the film, and the real-world entrapment scenarios being orchestrated by the FBI; where high profile 'terror plots' are engineered by undercover agents and then foiled by the Bureau - such as the infamous 'Newburgh Sting' case and others. We touch on the history of key players within Far-Right movements and the incitement of political agitation by establishment networks, drawing connections between high profile extremism and the deep-state. We also look at the backstory behind the film, where Director Daniel Ragussis asserted his desire to prompt a civilised deconstruction of extremist racial narratives; consulting former FBI Agent Mike German on both White Supremacist ideology and Federal subversion tactics. We discuss the interpretations of Neo-Nazi doctrine and Extreme-Right social demographics being presented in the film, and question as to what sentiments are being communicated in regard to sociopolitical dialectics. Is Imperium advancing a more complex narrative about paranoia and political ethics, or does it seek to justify the western liberal policy of eliminating all opposition?Read more at http://themesandmemes.libsyn.com/imperium-movie-review-with-jay-dyer-themes-memes-ep37#CoQCYUsTAMetlsds.99

Once embedded into the highest levels of the network though, he eventually learns that there are no credible threats of terror, and is thus encouraged by his superiors to both inspire and facilitate one himself.  We look the the parallels between the fictional story being told in the film, and the real-world entrapment scenarios being orchestrated by the FBI; where high profile 'terror plots' are engineered by undercover agents and then foiled by the Bureau - such as the infamous 'Newburgh Sting' case and others. We touch on the history of key players within Far-Right movements and the incitement of political agitation by establishment networks, drawing connections between high profile extremism and the deep-state.  We also look at the backstory behind the film, where Director Daniel Ragussis asserted his desire to prompt a civilised deconstruction of extremist racial narratives; consulting former FBI Agent Mike German on both White Supremacist ideology and Federal subversion tactics. We discuss the interpretations of Neo-Nazi doctrine and Extreme-Right social demographics being presented in the film, and question as to what sentiments are being communicated in regard to sociopolitical dialectics.  Is Imperium advancing a more complex narrative about paranoia and political ethics, or does it seek to justify the western liberal policy of eliminating all opposition?   Topics discussed include: Imperium, Jay Dyer, Daniel Ragussis, Daniel Radcliffe, FBI, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, Terrorism, Surveillance, Intelligence, Credible Threats, Infiltration, Provocateurs, Ferguson Riots, Dallas Shooting, Orlando, False Flag, Dylan Roof, Charleston Shooting, Skinheads, Oklahoma City Bombing, Timothy McVeigh, Elohim City, Extremists, Far-Right Politics, Hal Turner, The Turner Diaries, Race War, Anti-Zionism, Lew Rockwell, Dallas Wolf, Fascism, CIA, Ukraine, Pussy Riot, Femen, Christian Identity, KKK, Geopolitics, The Newburgh Sting, Mike German, Brennan Law Centre, Police State Pageantry, John Birch Society, Predictive Programming, Victimhood, Western Liberalism, Democracy, Nation of Islam, Cognitive Bias, Charles Manson, PSYOPS, EU, Immigration, Multiculturalism, Rush Limbaugh, George Soros, Democracy Now, Michael Moore, BLM, Bill Maher, Conspiracy Theorists, White Genocide, Alt-Right, Henrik Palmgren, Red Ice, Hilary Clinton, Alex Jones, Donald Trump, Ethno-Nationalism, David Duke, Kevin McDonald, Cultural Marxism, Militias, Communism, Aleksander Dugin, Contradictions of Liberalism, Globalism, United Nations, Diversity, Demographics, Revolution, Audiences, NSA, Cyber-Ops, Narrative Networks, Jay's Analysis, Esoteric Hollywood.

Michael Kimmel is the Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Stony Brook University. He is also executive director of the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities. His book Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era (Nation Books, 2013) is an engaging and eye-opening book about the lives and attitudes of white men who are expressing rage and feelings of “aggrieved entitlement” in a new age of gender relations. In the vast social, economy and political changes women have gained increased equality in the home, and the workplace, while many straight white males are experiencing a sense of loss. Having worked hard and fulfilled what they view as the requirements of masculinity, men now find that the economic rewards are slow in coming. Kimmel has spent hundreds of hours talking with men from different economic and social stations who blame women, blacks, and gays for their troubles. With a sympathetic ear, he examines the social construction of men’s anger express in politicized anti-immigrant, anti-gay, and racist sentiment flamed by right-wing media. Feeling that the system is now stacked against them, we are seeing outbreaks of mass murder by young men at schools and workplaces and men’s rights activism which seeks to restore male privilege and “stolen” fathers’ rights to extreme cases of battering and murder of women. Through the political mobilization of the Extreme Right represented in the Tea Party, Neo-Nazi groups and religious fundamentalism, men are expressing despair over their perceived loss of status. White supremacist groups are drawing a growing number of women who are embracing old models of gender relations and the slogan of “taking our country back.” The beginning of the end of patriarchy, Kimmel argues, is also the start of a better life for men. Gender and racial equality are good for white men and their children. What is needed is not only to turn down the volume of white male rage, but also to empower men to embrace a new definition of manhood that frees them from a sense of entitlement and opens up for them an equalitarian future.
