Ancient Greece and Rome are venerated throughout our society — including on the far right. Is this a misappropriation and misuse of the ideals of Greco-Roman antiquity? Classical scholar Curtis Dozier argues that when white nationalists appeal to ancient thinkers to justify their reactionary ideas, there is surprisingly much to draw from. Curtis Dozier, The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate Yale University Press, 2026 The post Antiquity and the Far Right appeared first on KPFA.
In this episode of In Theory, Disha Karnad Jani interviews Quinn Slobodian on his latest book, "Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right" (Zone Books, 2025). Here, Slobodian looks to the likes of Murray Rothbard, Charles Murray, and Javier Milei and their (mis)readings of Friedrich von Hayek and Ludwig von Mises to reveal the entangled relationship between neoliberalism after the end of the Cold War and the emergence of the Far Right today.

Alt Mainstream media trying to make hit piece on Darren and others trying to expose Far Right shadow network but..... failing and giving up their own process in the meantime. The Liberal machine is 100 times worse and more powerful but they just don't get it. Or they are paid to not get it. The battle over raw milk in Canada, massive snow storm in Russia, McAfee kill switch found and destroyed, ai video is getting good, and how CCP took advantage of Clinton and the WTO. Election fraud reveal seems to be coming. A wild Karen tries to scare of duck hunters gets laughed at. Canada loses it's democracy back in 1990, chart showing massive deindustrialization evidence in Canada vs USA, Net zero, civil war, the spaceship in Greenland controlling the weather, the signal has been sent, Alberta separation making strides, vaccine for rabies dropping from sky in USA, communist over production, Elon's efficiency, Shirley Temple shows how far back Hollywood abuse goes, and after stripping assets from the EU and USA the Storm is coming...

660. Today we're joined by writer and cultural historian Brian Fairbanks, author of “Wizards: David Duke, America's Wildest Election, and the Rise of the Far Right.” In this book, Fairbanks delivers a vivid account of David Duke's 1991 run for governor of Louisiana — a campaign that shocked the country and revealed how extremist politics could slip into the mainstream. Through sharp reporting and a storyteller's eye, he reconstructs the chaos, the media frenzy, and the deeper social tensions that made that election a turning point in modern American politics. Fairbanks brings that same clarity to a very different American saga in “Willie, Waylon, and the Boys: How Nashville Outsiders Changed Country Music.” Here he traces the rise of the outlaw movement, showing how Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and their circle pushed back against Nashville's rigid studio system and reshaped the sound and soul of country music. He explores the rebellion, the artistry, and the cultural moment that allowed these musicians to redefine authenticity and leave a lasting imprint on American music. Beyond these two major works, Brian Fairbanks has built a reputation as a writer who connects individual stories to the larger forces shaping American life.

Heloise Hulse Cruzat wrote an article on the history of the Ursuline Nuns in New Orleans. You have been told in eloquent periods of the founding of New Orleans, of its subsequent development, and I am to be the humble interpreter of another intimate chapter of its history: THE SHARE WOMEN TOOK IN ITS ESTABLISHMENT. Can we mention the French colonial days without recalling the URSULINES, who by their unfaltering courage and their steady and efficient work, incorporated their history into that of our fair city. Bienville realized that New Orleans would never attain his dream of greatness without education, and especially such an education of the female youth as would give worthy wives and mothers to the colonists. With this end in view, he intrusted to the Jesuit, Father de Beaubois, the care of choosing these educators. How successfully this mission was accomplished by his selection of the Ursulines of Rouen, the two past centuries have demonstrated. A contract was signed by the Company of the Indies and the Ursulines, approved by brevet signed by Louis XV, and on February 22nd, 1727, Mother St. Augustin, Tranchepain, with eight professed nuns, a novice and two postulants sailed on the Gironde from L'Orient. This week in Louisiana history. January 9, 1877 Both Democrat Francis T. Nicholls and Republican Stephen B. Packard claim victory in election for governor; both take oath of office. This week in New Orleans history. Andrew Jackson arrived on board the steamer “Vicksburg” on January 8, 1840 at ten o'clock in the morning, landing at the Carrollton wharf, where an immense throng had assembled to welcome “the most distinguished citizen of the country.” The specific reason for his presence was that a cornerstone was to be laid, commemorating his victories in the Battle of New Orleans, a quarter of a century before. General Jackson laid the cornerstone in the Place d'Armes, on January 9, 1840. It was not until some years later that the monument decided upon was the one of Jackson, designed by Clark Mills, which stands in the center of the ancient parade grounds for the troops. This statue has been called the “center piece of one of the finest architectural sittings in the world.” (NOPL) This week in Louisiana. January 10, 2026.

As countries around the world celebrated the arrival of 2026, the Trump administration took the opportunity of a new year to herald in historic levels of chaos in diplomatic quarters. And as the events unfolding in Venezuela have shown, the US is clearly not averse to meddling in the politics of smaller nations. Meanwhile, a former trusted adviser of the US president, Steve Bannon, gave an interview to Politico, where he claimed that we are "going to have an Irish MAGA, and we're going to have an Irish Trump”. Making it clear that some elements of the alt-right movement have set their sights on Ireland. Bannon's statement begs a number of questions, such as how exactly would he and other MAGA influencers pull this off? Tabitha Monahan is joined by Declan Lynch (Sunday Independent columnist) and Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc (author of Burn Them Out! A History of Fascism and the Far Right in Ireland) to ask how has this kind of nationalism fared with Irish voters in the past, what could MAGA influence look like, and how vulnerable are we to outside influence in the social media age?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, Dr Pablo de Orellana, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, is joined by journalist and Emmy-nominated producer Nora Neus to discuss her book "24 Hours at the Capitol: An Oral History of the January 6th Insurrection". Drawing on hundreds of interviews and primary sources, Neus reconstructs the “minute-by-minute” experience of 6 January 2021 – from elected officials to frontline staff – and argues the attack cannot be understood as a one-off event, but as the culmination of a longer movement that gathered momentum after Charlottesville and accelerated through the pandemic era. Their conversation explores how far-right coalitions form and fragment; the role of social media platforms and online ecosystems in mobilisation; and the political power of mythic nationalism – from “1776” iconography to competing claims about American exceptionalism. They also examine the wider relationship between ethnic nationalism and religion, as well as the implications for future episodes of political instability.

But nowadays, it's actually younger Germans – especially men – who are casting their ballots for the far-right faction and helped the historic surge of AfD in the recent German federal election. What's happening in Germany is similar to the move of young voters to the fringes in the United States. Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson talks to American and German university students about what young voters want from their leaders and what they are not getting. And why their future may not be as bright as they deserve. Featuring Cammie Davenport and Camdyn DeShields from University of South Carolina Upstate and Arlow Bünning and Malte Broyer from Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal.Music: "disappear" by Koi-discovery(Source: FMA)Produced by Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson and Eden Dinneen.

Judy Dempsey. Judy Dempsey details the pressure on Friedrich Merz's coalition from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), describing the anti-immigrant party as "biting at the heels" of the government. With the AfD polling closely behind, Dempsey highlights the urgency for Merz to address immigration, pension reform, and healthcare costs.
For more than a decade, Tommy Robinson has been written off again and again. Yet he keeps re-emerging, reshaped for the moment. From street agitator to convicted criminal to most recently, self-styled Christian crusader. Robinson has followed a familiar far-right playbook: collapse, reinvention, repeat. On The Bunker, Alex von Tunzelmann is joined by journalist Daniel Trilling to examine the staying power of Tommy Robinson and the strategy that keeps bringing him back. We look at the warning signs we missed and what Robinson's latest reinvention reveals about the durability, adaptability and danger of Britain's far-right ecosystem.
Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch, as they serve up all good martinis and discuss the FBI thwarting a major terrorist plot, another conservative elected president in South America, and growing outrage in Minnesota over massive welfare fraud and Gov. Tim Walz's handling of the scandal.First, they applaud the FBI for thwarting a chilling plot by the Turtle Island Liberation Front to carry out a coordinated bombing campaign across Los Angeles beginning on New Year's Eve. Authorities describe the group as pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist. Jim and Greg are grateful for the arrests and are reminded that evil people love to plan horrible things around the holidays.Next, they celebrate the election of conservative Jose Antonio Kast as the next president of Chile. While the media absurdly label him as "far-right," Kast is a conservative Catholic who wants to crack down on crime and secure the border. He's also called a neo-liberal on economics, which means he's for smaller government, free markets, and deregulation. Seems like a leader the U.S. might be able to work with.Finally, they discuss new polling from Minnesota showing deep voter frustration with the state's sprawling welfare fraud scandal. Nearly 80 percent of residents say it is a major problem or the worst problem facing the state, while just 14 percent believe Gov. Tim Walz has handled it well. Jim questions whether Minnesota Democrats will abandon Walz in 2026 or continue standing by him despite the growing scandal.Please visit our great sponsors:Try Quo for free at https://Quo.com/3ML and keep your existing number—Quo means no missed calls, no missed customers.Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.

The spirit of Amalek is still alive very much today. The rise of America’s far-right is a testament to this fact. A war of ideas has been raging in the Republican Party - the party of conservatives in America. The traditionally pro-Israel consensus is being challenging by a much more sinister far-right, Orthodox Christian movement that certainly leans into the Amalekite spirit of Antisemitism.

Keir Starmer has called on European leaders to urgently reform human rights laws so that member states can take tougher action to protect their borders and see off the rise of the populist right across the continent. But Labour has been condemned by campaigners and MPs who argue these proposals could lead to countries abandoning the world's most vulnerable people and further demonise refugees.

This show is made possible by you! Description: Today's guests have paid a price for their reporting on far Right extremists. But if journalists don't do this critical work, then who will? The Trump administration is deprioritizing domestic terrorism to serve a political agenda, scaling back investigations of far-Right extremism while redirecting DHS agents to immigration crackdowns. As programs tracking domestic extremism are dismantled and January 6 rioters are recast as "patriots," journalists find themselves on the frontlines — and their attackers are now people in power.

He is currently working on a book about militant accelerationism. Green also reported on a story we've covered extensively on the show: the attack on two power stations in Moore County, North Carolina. A correspondent for the Texas Observer, investigative journalist Steven Monacelli has been tracking extremism, disinformation, social movements, and the influence of dark money in politics. He received the The Al Neuharth Innovation in Investigative Journalism Award for revealing the identities of far-Right extremists, including government employees.

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick analyzes the newly published 2025 US National Security Strategy, a document that could be considered a foundational text for the global far-right.We explore how this strategy, with its language of "civilizational erasure" and "European greatness," mirrors the rhetoric of leaders like Viktor Orban and the conspiracy theories of the "Great Replacement." Nick argues that this is not just ideology; it is a manifesto for American interference in European elections, designed to undermine social democracy and pave the way for deregulation favorable to US capital.From the demonization of migration to the cynical normalization of Russia, we unpack how the Trump administration is attempting to reshape Europe in its own image—and why the economic weakness of the continent leaves it vulnerable to this new, aggressive Monroe Doctrine.Key Topics:The 2025 Strategy: A blueprint for far-right interventionism.Civilizational Rhetoric: How "Great Replacement" theory has entered US policy.Economic Imperialism: The drive to deregulate Europe for American corporations.The Future of NATO: Why the US is pivoting towards "patriotic" (i.e., far-right) allies.References:Cas Mudde's analysis in The GuardianOswald Spengler's The Decline of the WestRenaud Camus' The Great ReplacementExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

To many Americans, the idea of banning a party that has support from a significant portion of voters might seem undemocratic. But Germany, guided by its determination to avoid a repeat of Nazism, included a provision in its post-World War II constitution to allow banning parties that aim to subvert the constitutional order.Now, as Germany's far-right party – Alternative for Germany (AfD) – surges in popularity, the country is in a heated debate over whether to ban it. “Post Reports” producer and reporter Emma Talkoff speaks with host Colby Itkowitz about how Germany is wrestling with the question of how to fight political extremism.Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Aaron Weiner and David Herszenhorn. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
Social media's sewer pipe of white nationalism, conspiracy thought and violent far-right incitement is seeping into mainstream politics. But where is all this extremism coming from? Who's creating it? Is anyone on political social media not a bot? And what are we going to do about it? Special guest Olivia Brown from the University of Bath explains how a tiny number of far-right accounts weaponise tragedies like Southport and use AI and engagement tricks to fake grassroots, us-vs-them banter. The goal: to warp Britain's perception of what's normal.
Only a few years ago, European elites were patting themselves on the back for fending off thetide of right-wing anti-system parties (often styled as populists). But recent polls in France,Germany and the United Kingdom show that that the far right is once again gaining traction,thanks in no small part centrist governments that have demoralized the population andlegitimized xenophobia. David Broder, author of Mussolini's Grandchildren and European editorof Jacobin, wrote a wide-ranging essay on this for The New York Times. I spoke to David aboutboth the dismal decisions of mainstream parties and also possible alternatives.Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The White House has released a controversial new National Security Strategy (NSS) that marks a major realignment of U.S. foreign policy under the "America First" banner. The document lays out Trump's vision for ensuring America's "dominance" in the Western Hemisphere, cultivating "resistance" within Europe, reestablishing "strategic stability" with Russia, and accepting Middle Eastern leaders "as they are." Current and former European officials are already pushing back against the strategy's assertions regarding European alliances and demographics.

PREVIEW — Veronique de Rugy — The Political Horseshoe: Converging Discontent. de Rugy explains the political "horseshoe" theory, which posits that ideologically opposed extremes—the far Left and far Right—converge in their fundamental conviction that the United States is pursuing a catastrophic trajectory requiring comprehensive government intervention and systemic restructuring. de Rugy documents that both ideological poles perceive the existing political-economic order as fundamentally irreparably corrupted or unjust, generating agreement across the ideological spectrum regarding the necessity of radical systemic transformation despite divergent visions regarding post-transformation governance structures and resource allocation mechanisms. 1955

We dive into why certain violent sentiments seem “acceptable” in progressive circles, the growing trend of Left-wing intolerance, and the moral hypocrisy surrounding political violence. We also go deep into the debates that made Tilly infamous: • Tommy Robinson – is he really “Right-wing,” and why does that label get thrown around without explanation? • Nationalism – why nationalism has historically been associated with the Left, and the difference between civic nationalism and Christian nationalism. • Culture vs Religion – from patriarchy in Islamic countries to whether oppression is cultural, legal, or both. • Gender, feminism, and whether patriarchy is “natural” – including controversial ideas many are now too scared to say out loud. • Race, IQ, immigration, and why older people move to the Right – uncomfortable questions most mainstream platforms refuse to touch. • Why some Jewish Brits feel unsafe, rising antisemitism, and why mass immigration makes these conversations unavoidable. Tilly also opens up about the backlash from her own side, the pressure to conform to progressive groupthink at university, and why she believes many young people will eventually shift Right as they grow up. If you're tired of the scripted culture-war soundbites and want a raw, unfiltered confrontation of ideas—from religion to race, nationalism to gender, and the political hypocrisy no one else will acknowledge—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

In this episode of The FRONTLINE Dispatch, host Raney Aronson-Rath speaks with longtime FRONTLINE correspondent Evan Williams, director of The Rise of Germany's New Right. Together, they unpack how the hardline Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has surged in popularity, drawing young voters on TikTok, capitalizing on economic anxiety, and reframing nationalism for a new generation.
