Jo sits down with Mehdi Hasan to talk about ICE acting like Trump's personal secret police, the open, gleeful racism coming out of this White House, and what it does to your brain when the people with the microphones keep pretending this is all normal.We get into why calling fascism “fascism” isn't hyperbole, it's homework; how Democrats keep flinching from real accountability; and why the press corps lets Trump bully female reporters on live TV while their colleagues stare at their shoes.

He is Coordinator of the Center for Chinese-Mexican Studies of the School of Economics at UNAM and of the Academic Network of Latin America and the Caribbean on China. His most recent book is “Latin America, China & Great Power Competition.” The US appears to be abandoning the Bretton Woods structure and some UN programs. US leadership with President Donald Trump is no longer dependable. Withdrawal from international institutions is foolhardy and counterproductive. Many experts are touting China as the emerging world leader. China is using Soft Power, such as the Belt and Road Project, to accomplish foreign policy goals. Eliminating USAID by President Trump damaged the reputation, alliances, efficiency and effectiveness of the US in many areas of the world.

Synopsis: If you're worried about authoritarianism, this episode reminds you that people-powered resistance still wins. Indivisible's Ezra Levin and Hungarian organizer László Upor share creative, community-driven tactics — from joyful protests to bold campus actions — that pushed back against autocratic agendas. Their message: you have more power than you think.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: If you care about resisting autocracy and building democracy, the U.S. has much to learn from Hungary. While Donald Trump rails against Europe, he and Hungary's strongman leader, Viktor Orbán, have praised each other for years. Anti-democratic, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-queer — Orbán and Trump came to power on parallel tracks with similar values. In their first interview together, Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible (the group behind No Kings!) and László Upor, a leader in one of Hungary's most creative and visible resistance efforts, share their experiences of resisting authoritarianism. Upor is former Vice Rector and Acting Rector of the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest — the one university that fought back when the Orbán administration began taking control of Hungary's universities. Levin is the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, the grassroots movement behind such protests as the historic Hands Off and No Kings rallies. From the principles of their organizing to frog suits and caution tape, today's episode is a masterclass in creative resistance. Plus a commentary from Laura.“Our enemy in this isn't Trump, it's not the Republicans. It's not the broader regime. Our enemy is this sense of cynicism or fatalism or nihilism . . . I do think a core principle in our communication philosophy is convincing people, you have power, you just gotta use it. The best way to use it is in concert with a lot of other people in your community.” - Ezra Levin“You have to laugh at them, not be afraid of them . . . They don't understand mirth. They don't understand the derision. They think they are invincible. And when we don't give in, they don't understand what's going on.” - László UpperGuests:• Ezra Levin: Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director, Indivisible• László Upor: Former Vice Rector & Acting Rector, University of Theatre and Film Arts (SzFE), Budapest, Hungary Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel December 14th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Part 2: Emotional Self‑Care & Processing In this episode, I get personal. I share real moments of grief, anger, overwhelm, and what I did instead of turning to food. This episode shows you: processing emotions isn't 'weakness', It's a powerful act of self care. What you walk away with: Permission to feel — grief, rage, fear, overwhelm — without shame or guilt. A reminder that our emotions are important. Suppressing them often only buries OUR POWER. A simple (but effective) emotional self-care process that starts with naming what you feel. A model for emotional self‑care that honors your experience, your body and your self care as sacred. This is not self‑care fluff. It's much needed support and medicine. Press play. Brenda PS.

Given the not-terribly-uplifting streak of episodes we've had lately, we thought it was time for a Know Your Enemy movie night, and were joined by the podcast's intrepid producer, Jesse Brenneman, for a conversation about Paul Thomas Anderson's 2025 film, One Battle After Another. Its tagline—"When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries reunite to rescue the daughter of one of their own"—suggests why all three of us absolutely loved it. We discuss: the film's relationship to the contemporary United States, and what it might reveal about our political situation; how it portrays both the left and the right; the family drama at the heart of the film, and the connection between origin and identity, personally and politically; the way Ronald Reagan haunts a surprising number of its scenes; and more! Spoiler alert: we offer a quick plot summary for those who haven't (yet!) seen One Battle After Another, but that does mean certain surprises will be spoiled for you.Sources:Sam Adler-Bell, "The Fantasy of Assassination Culture," New York Magazine, Nov 1, 2025Armond White, "There Will Be Bloodlust in One Battle After Another," National Review, Sept 26, 2025Richard Brody, "The Real Battle of 'One Battle After Another,'" New Yorker, Oct 7, 2025...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!
EPISODE NOTE: Apologies for the late release of this episode. We wanted to release a while ago after recording the episode in late November. As Anders has recently started a new job, there was a delay getting the episode out in time. We will try to be better with this in the future. Enjoy the episode."There are two people in this barracks who know I didn't do it. Me and the guy that did do it."Welcome to the eighth episode of our ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.On this Fascism on Film episode, the Holmes Brothers look at Stalag 17, directed by the great Billy Wilder. It stars William Holden who heads an all-star cast that includes Otto Preminger. Holden won his first and only Oscar for the film. An award he should have already won for Sunset Boulevard and he also should have won for Network. The film is set in a German P.O.W Camp during 1944. We focus on one barracks where American prisoners try to stay sane while the war carries on in the background. They get up to various shenanigans and plan numerous escape plans. Their German captors start to know all their secrets and the prisoners begin to believe one of the men in the barracks is an informant for the Germans. Suspicion falls on Sefton, Holden's character, a cynical man who makes bets and openly barters with the Germans for special privileges. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US. In Finland, it will be released in cinemas on November 5th.

According to Matrix co-creator Lilly Wachowski, the right co-opts pop culture because "this is what fascism does." "They appropriate left-wing points of view and they mutate them for their own propaganda, to obfuscate what the real message is. This is what fascism does. And so, of course that's going to happen.”Never mind that many franchises have been appropriated by the far left in recent years, but... WHATEVER. Obviously they're not real happy about the "red pill" meme, but also admits that hey, you can't control what people take away from a piece of media.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Part 1: Be Kind to Yourself When the world keeps showing us injustice, violence and oppression — caring for yourself (your body, your emotions, your nervous system) becomes necessary. In the first episode of this powerful series, I share: HOW I've been deepening my self‑care over the past year — not because I necessarily wanted to, but because life has required it. I walk you through my real personal examples of what it's looked like to deepen my self-care, instead of sabotaging. HOW: after decades of coping with emotional eating, stress eating and self‑sabotage — I am now able to chose something different. Practices that actually support me. WHY being kind to yourself (self‑kindness) matters so much right now: because our nervous systems are already on high alert. Harsh self‑criticism only activates more stress, while compassion and kindness stabilize, soothe, and create emotional safety. Listen In and Walk Away With: A deeper understanding for exactly how deeper self‑care isn't a luxury, it's essential — especially when there's a lot you're processing, navigating and holding. Permission to BE KIND to yourself — and to stop treating yourself like a machine, especially when life is demanding so much. A model for compassionate coping that doesn't rely on food, numbing, or self‑sabotage — but on intentional practices and deeper care. Emotional safety: knowing that you're not alone, that fear and grief are valid — and you deserve care, kindness, and real support as you navigate this time. This isn't self-care fluff. It's much needed medicine. Press play. Give yourself the care and support you deserve. xo Brenda

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveA few years ago, Lea Ypi was scrolling through Facebook when she came across a family photo she had never seen before. Someone had discovered a photograph of Ypi's grandparents on their honeymoon and posted it on a public Facebook group. Ypi — a philosophy professor from Albania who teaches at the London School of Economics — was dismayed by the comments on the photograph, which ranged from inaccurate to judgmental to just plain mean. Were the husband and wife in this photo Albanian aristocrats? Fascist collaborators? Victims of Communism? Responding to the trolls — as well as, as she puts it, “taking the trolls seriously” — Ypi decided to write a book reconstructing her grandparents' story. The result is Indignity: A Life Reimagined, a book which asks, among other things, what does human dignity really mean? What makes this book even more interesting is that Ypi's grandparents lived through some of the most dramatic moments in the twentieth century: the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Fascism, and World War II. Ypi joins Damir and Santiago, who want to understand Ypi's own philosophical priors. Damir wants to know where moral responsibility ends and and the structural forces of history begin.

Fascism is one of the most notorious political ideologies that shaped the 20th century. Fascism is typically only thought of in tandem with Nazi Germany, but it wasn't the only country that adhered to the ideology, and they weren't even the first. The originator was Italy. Despite many similarities between fascist Italy and Germany, the two nations developed forms of fascism with significant ideological differences. Learn about Italian and German fascism, their differences and similarities, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPTTlkWeVs Comrade Zhou Fe, Minster at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China and member of the Chinese Communist Party speaks at our celebration of the Great Socialist October Revolution. Cde Zhou celebrates the 80th anniversary of the victory over Fascism in the great people's anti-fascist War - in which the Soviet Peoples gave 27 million lives and the Chinese people an incredible 40 million lives to defeat the combined forces of German and Japanese Fascism over a protracted period of struggle that encompassed WW2. China is Socialist - and the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party have their origins in and trace their roots to the Great Socialist October Revolution, he says! The Chinese communist party and the PRC continue to grow the economy by leaps and bounds, transforming the prosperity and the lives of the working people, maintaining and safeguarding their independence and in so doing transforming the world for the greater good of humanity. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to the heroic sacrifices of the Chinese People and their lasting contribution to building toward a peaceful and stable, sustainable world. China's great green wall project is responsible for a quarter of global afforestation. China's energy consumption is becoming predominantly based upon green and carbon neutral energy (hydro-electric, photovoltaic, wind and tidal, geothermal and Solar-produced Hydrogen as well as nuclear). China's technological advance is allowing it to break the grip of the monopoly capitalists, in particular the Anglo-American and EU imperialists. China is allowing, via the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, BRICS and the Belt and Road initiative, the whole world a pathway out of financial subjection to the imperialist powers.

“We're very aware that things are awful … That means that we're alive, and that we want something different. That's a really important starting point, is just to even have that kind of repulsion and to have that awful feeling about things,” says Tamara Nopper. “So, I want more of that energy, but I want more of that energy to be connected to some more skills.” In this episode, Tamara and Kelly discuss the urgency of political education in our current fascist climate, what people are learning in the streets, and the importance of counter-recruiting for movements against policing and deportations.

In this final instalment of the Fascism miniseries, Cameron and Ray trace how fascism didn't die after 1945 but simply changed its wardrobe. Once openly discredited, fascist ideology went underground, hiding behind anti-communism, Catholic conservatism, Cold War geopolitics, and the language of “law and order.” The pair outline how the same structural anxieties that fuelled Mussolini and Hitler found new hosts in post-war regimes like Franco's Spain and Salazar's Portugal, apartheid South Africa, Cold War dictatorships in Latin America, and today's far-right populists in Europe and the United States. They explore how neoliberalism, manufactured fear of socialism, weaponised Christianity, resentful middle-class voters, and billionaire backing continue to make fascism useful to the powerful. The conversation ends by drawing uncomfortable parallels between classical fascism and modern MAGA politics, arguing that America is not on the verge of fascism — it is living through it in a new, suited, media-savvy form.

As the environmental crisis worsens, not everyone is drawing the same lessons. On the far right, xenophobic and racist ideas are increasingly dressed up as means of protecting nature. And, as scholar Alexander Menrisky posits, contemporary American culture furnishes a wealth of material for the right, from the ubiquity of apocalyptic and misanthropic ideas to concerns with Wellness and bodily purity. (Encore presentation.)

In this episode, Breht speaks with Dr. Richard Wolin, author of Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology, about the dark entanglement between Martin Heidegger's philosophy and his lifelong commitment to National Socialism. Heidegger is often hailed as the most important philosopher of the 20th century, yet his work was deeply shaped by the reactionary politics of his time. Wolin explains how Heidegger's central ideas -- Being, Dasein, authenticity, rootedness, and the "decline of the West" -- became intertwined with fascist notions of destiny, hierarchy, and belonging. They discuss the long history of attempts to sanitize Heidegger's record, what the Black Notebooks reveal about his true convictions, the interwar period in Germany and the conservative revolution, Heidegger's spiritual racism, and how the same civilizational despair and longing for renewal echo through today's far-right political movements. This conversation explores how the search for meaning and authenticity, when divorced from solidarity and democracy, can turn toward reactionary myth-making, hierarchical exclusion, and fascist authoritarianism.
