Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Kevin Dolan and Peter Calfee met at a Veterans Day luncheon in 2022 and spent three years writing Hijacked: Our Republic — a book built around one essential question: what does it take to keep what the founders built?In this conversation, Kevin and Peter walk through the six foundational pillars they believe hold a republic together — critical thinking, education, faith and values, history, political systems, and economics — and explain how each one has been quietly compromised. The word "hijacked" isn't hyperbole. It's a diagnosis.One exchange stands out: Kevin's explanation of why two people can look at the same set of facts, weigh them differently, and reach completely different conclusions — and why that's actually how it's supposed to work. The problem isn't disagreement. The problem is that we've stopped being interested in each other.If you want to understand the root causes behind the noise — and think seriously about what restoring the social contract actually requires — this episode is worth your time.

In this week's edition of The Weekly Wolfson on No Way, Jose!, host Jose Galison welcomes back journalist Matt Wolfson for a no-holds-barred discussion on the current state of the political left. Drawing from Matt's latest piece in the Libertarian Institute, “Empire with a Humanitarian Face: Democrats Rebrand,” the two explore how the Democratic Party is attempting a fresh rebrand while preserving its core power structures. They examine the establishment's well-honed tactics for bringing rising progressive stars back into line and analyze the deliberate shift away from overt “woke” aesthetics even as identity politics remains deeply embedded in the party's DNA.The conversation also highlights key figures such as Zohran Mamdani, Platner, and Gavin Newsom, while drawing clear parallels to past political campaigns and careers like those of Obama and Clinton—showing how the same patterns of messaging, co-option, and image management continue to repeat. As always, The Weekly Wolfson delivers sharp geopolitics and ethnopolitics analysis free of corporate media spin.

Show NotesIn this episode, Simon Western speaks with political theorist and author Professor Brad Evans about the collapse of traditional working-class politics and the growing sense of abandonment across post-industrial communities. Drawing on Brad's experiences growing up in the South Wales Valleys, the conversation explores how solidarity, class identity and community structures have been eroded by deindustrialisation, neoliberalism and the rise of precarious labour. They reflect on why many working-class communities no longer feel represented by progressive politics and why populist movements are gaining traction.Simon and Brad discuss the emotional and political consequences of precarity - from Brexit and nationalism to homelessness, resentment and the rise of the “precariat.” Rather than dismissing people drawn toward nationalist or populist politics, they ask what happens when communities lose dignity, voice and recognition. The conversation challenges simplistic binaries of left and right, arguing instead for deeper listening, political humility, and a renewed understanding of interdependence.The episode also turns toward possibility. Simon introduces ideas from his work on “precarious interdependence,” asking how we might learn to live creatively within uncertainty rather than retreat into fear, certainty, and division. They discuss the role of art, culture, dialogue, and political imagination in creating more humane futures - futures grounded not in nostalgia for the past, but in new forms of solidarity and shared becoming.Key Reflections Working-class communities have not simply lost jobs, but also the social bonds and identities that once gave meaning and solidarity. Populist movements gain power when people feel politically abandoned, unseen and culturally dismissed. Precarity can produce fear and division, but it can also open possibilities for new forms of creativity, mutuality and transformation. Nationalism often emerges in spaces where class consciousness and collective identity have collapsed. Real political dialogue begins when we stop demonising opponents and start listening to the conditions shaping their lives. Art and culture are not luxuries; they are essential for reimagining society and creating empathetic futures.

Chloe and Emma discuss identity politics, the dominant framework on the left for opposing oppression. They debunk ideas like privilege theory, autonomous organising and centreing "lived experience",
Stephen Reich, a PhD student at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, researching the proliferation of critical theory in K-12 in educational policy, discusses how critical theory and identity politics has replaced objective truth when it comes to how young Canadians are taught.He argues that neo-Marxist frameworks which divides society into “oppressors” and “oppressed” have created classrooms often focused on activism rather than transmitting civilizational knowledge to the next generation. Reich also examines how these ideological shifts have contributed to a rise antisemitism and offers solutions for fixing the education system, including structured curriculums, historical literacy, and cultivating a shared Canadian identity.This episode is a part of The Hub's new Fault Lines initiative, which examines the pressures pulling Canadian society apart and the principles that can hold it together.

Andy Root is back, and this time he's got a fertility god on the cover of his book — which, if you've been paying any attention to his work, is not actually a detour. Baal and the Gods of More is what happens when Andy takes the background hum of economic critique that's been running through all his previous books and turns it all the way up, then runs it through First and Second Kings, Hartmut Rosa's theory of dynamic stabilization, Robert Gordon's economic history of the American special century, and Luther's commentary on the Magnificat, and comes out the other side with something genuinely uncomfortable and genuinely useful. The argument in brief: the church's anxiety about decline is not primarily a spiritual problem or a missional problem. It is a fertility cult problem. We have, like the Israelites under the Omride dynasty, decided that Yahweh needs a little help from the gods of growth — and we've done it so thoroughly that we can barely tell the difference anymore between faithful ministry and escalatory capital accumulation. Andy doesn't spare himself, or Tripp, or the emerging church movement, or the academic publishing world, or anyone who has ever refreshed their social media numbers and felt something. The conversation got real fast and stayed there. And yes, there is a Counting Crows footnote. Also: Tripp and Andy are going back to Bonhoeffer's house in Berlin in summer 2027 — two different tracks, one for personal and vocational formation, one for the theology nerds who want to read Bonhoeffer intensely and argue about it in his actual house.

What shapes your identity more — your faith or your politics? In this episode, sociologist George Yancey explores how Americansengage in public life today and why that engagement often feels louder, sharper and more polarized than in previous decades. George Yancey, professor of sociology at Baylor University, distinguishes public engagement from political engagement, noting that evangelicals have long contributed to the common good through volunteering, giving, mentoring and building institutions, even if those efforts receive less attention than politics.Together, NAE President Walter Kim and George Yancey examine how recent cultural and political dynamics have amplified partisan voices and intensified the pressures shaping Christian public witness.They also point toward a better way forward: a kingdom-centered identity marked by humility, curiosityand a deeper sense of belonging in Christ. You‘ll hear: How today's tensions are less about “Christian nationalism” and more about identity politics on both the right and left;Why political tribalism is so powerful in this moment; and How the Church can offer deeper belonging and a more faithful witness. As polarization grows, this episode invites Christians to re-center their identity — and engage public life with truth, love and concern for every neighbor.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Georgetown Professor Joshua Mitchell explains why America remains a deeply Hebraic, covenantal nation — and why the current culture war is best understood as a distorted continuation of the Reformation.From the Plato-Aristotle divide to Luther's turn to history, from Tocqueville's warnings to the spiritual economy of stain and redemption, Mitchell offers a profound diagnosis of where American Christianity stands today.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest, but most crucial parts of the Christian life. In this episode with Amy Orr-Ewing, we talk about why forgiveness matters right now, especially in a culture shaped by outrage, cancellation, and competing visions of justice. Amy helps clarify the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, why real forgiveness doesn't minimize harm or remove consequences, and how the cross makes a way to take evil seriously while still offering grace. We also get into trauma, shame, enemy love, and what it looks like to practice forgiveness in our lives and communities without cheapening it.Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing is an international author, speaker and theologian who addresses the deep questions of our day with meaningful answers found in the Christian Faith. She is the author of multiple books including bestsellers ‘Where is God in All the Suffering?', ‘Why Trust the Bible?', ‘Mary's Voice', and her latest ‘Forgiveness Reclaiming its Power in a Culture of Outrage and Fear' releases in 2026.Over the last twenty five years, Amy has spoken in more than 40 countries as a public advocate for the Christian faith including public lectures and open forums on university campuses, and addressing Politicians and Parliamentarians in the UK Parliament and staffers on Capitol Hill, the Senate and the West Wing of The White House. Amy speaks at conferences, businesses, banks, and churches about how theology connects with the deepest questions of life.In 2023, Amy was awarded the Alphege Medal for Evangelism and Witness by the Archbishop of Canterbury. She holds a D Dphil (doctorate) from the University of Oxford and is Honorary Lecturer at the School of Divinity, University of Aberdeen, Distinguished Scholar at Wheaton College Illinois and Founder of Advocate Collective.

Discussion of violations against free speech, narrative during COVID, and suppression of content. Canadian lawmakers call for funding for new LGBT groups.

https://shop.thecommunists.org/product/identity-politics-or-class-politics-2024/ The slow but steady takeover of the western left by liberalism and the divisive and reactionary politics of identity took place during decades when revolutionary Marxism had suffered serious defeats and was passing through a period of confusion and disarray. In order to bring this period of defeat and retreat to a close and regroup the forces for socialism, the working-class movement must be purged of the plethora of anti-Marxian ideas that have become so pervasive, setting our struggle once more on a solid footing and preparing the way for a new and decisive advance. As the worst-ever global crisis of capitalist overproduction spirals out of control, spawning war and poverty on an unimaginable scale, this task has never been more urgent. This short pamphlet aims to provide a Marxist overview of identity politics – what they are, where they came from, and how they are affecting our movement. Brar and Rule outline the major branches (bourgeois feminism, black nationalism, LGBT+ liberation) and puts them in a historical and philosophical context that aims to help socialists steer clear of the lurking shoals that can shipwreck our movement and leave us stranded and helpless before the onslaught of the monopoly capitalist crisis and war. The pamphlet also includes an article on the nature of the communist party and why the most organised and advanced detachment of the working class can have nothing to do with the divisive sectionalism of idpol.
Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Monica Harris returns to Derate the Hate — this time in person — to talk about FAIR's newly renamed curriculum, Many Stories, One Nation. It's a high school social studies elective that takes a different approach to teaching American history: broad, honest, chronological, and built around civil discourse.Monica breaks down what separates this curriculum from liberated ethnic studies — and why the oppressor/oppressed framework, even when well-intentioned, ends up hurting the very students it's trying to help. The damage, she argues, runs in both directions.They also dig into the "competing goods" framework, the reticular activating system and confirmation bias, what it means to teach kids how to think instead of what to think — and what Monica sees as realistic success in a state like Minnesota.If you care about what's happening in classrooms and why it matters beyond the classroom, this is the conversation for you.The world is a better place if we are better people. That begins with each of us as individuals. Be kind to one another. Be grateful for all you've got.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with writer and author Freya India for a wide-ranging conversation on Gen Z, social media, and the growing crisis of mental health, identity, and meaning among young people.We examine how social media has reshaped an entire generation, from rising anxiety and loneliness to the collapse of real-world relationships and community. India explains how platforms designed to connect us have instead created a culture of comparison, performance, and constant self-surveillance, particularly among young women.The conversation explores the rise of identity politics, online social contagion, and the politicisation of everyday life. We discuss the pressure to signal beliefs online, the role of algorithms in shaping worldview, and how trends around mental health, gender identity, and beauty are amplified and distorted in digital spaces.We also debate the decline of family, falling birth rates, and the growing stigma around motherhood, as well as the deeper philosophical shift towards hyper-individualism and the loss of shared values, community, and religious belief.A sobering conversation about technology, culture, and whether a generation raised online can rediscover meaning, identity, and connection in the real world.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:42 Why Young Women Feel Increasingly Lost06:18 Feminism Then vs Feminism Now08:47 The Rise of Therapy Culture and Emotional Fragility11:12 Social Media, Comparison and Female Identity13:40 The Pressure to Be Perfect Online16:05 Dating, Relationships and Modern Expectations18:52 Why Men and Women Are Drifting Apart21:30 The Decline of Traditional Life Paths24:06 Career, Purpose and the Meaning Crisis26:48 Hookup Culture and Its Consequences29:15 Why Commitment Feels Harder Than Ever32:04 The Role of Porn, Culture and Male Behaviour34:22 Loneliness, Isolation and Mental Health36:58 The Influence of Media and Cultural Narratives39:41 Identity Politics and Victimhood Culture42:18 The Backlash Against Feminism45:06 What Young Women Actually Want48:12 Is There a Way Back to Stability?51:30 Final Reflections on Gender and the Future Hosted on Acast.

Which is the bigger mess?
Today I'm joined by Dr. Will Dobud, a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families across the United States, Australia, and Norway. Will is the co-author of Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health, and he brings a refreshingly optimistic yet realistic perspective to the challenges facing today's young people.We dig into some truly provocative territory in this conversation. Will challenges the prevailing narrative that phones and social media are the root of the youth mental health crisis, drawing on historical moral panics — from kaleidoscopes to pinball machines — to argue that blanket bans rarely work. Instead, he advocates for digital integration through boundaries and parental involvement.We explore why more diagnoses, more medication, and more therapy haven't improved outcomes, and how the explosion of mental health labeling — especially around neurodivergence — may actually be doing more harm than good. Will shares his concerns about "label mania," the misuse of accommodations, and how identity politics have hijacked what was originally a movement toward inclusion. We also talk about the shortage of real-world experience for kids, the importance of rough-and-tumble play, and what parents can do to build connection instead of defaulting to control. This episode asks the hard questions: Are we crushing the spirit of youth with our own adult anxiety? And what would happen if we just gave kids something worth participating in?Dr. Will Dobud is a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families in the United States, Australia, and Norway. Will is from Washington, D.C., and divides his time between the United States and Australia each year. He is the author and editor of three books, including Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health. Will is an award-winning researcher and educator who has received recognition for excellence in research, teaching, and crime prevention. Dr. Dobud is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Charles Sturt University, Australia's largest social work school. Will is an invited international speaker who conducts workshops for therapists and families worldwide. Will's research focuses on improving therapy outcomes for teenagers and promoting safe, ethical practices. He has investigated and written about America's Troubled Teen Industry, especially wilderness therapy. He has worked alongside advocates, survivors, researchers, and clinicians to protect youth from institutionalization and harm.WillDobud.comwww.kidsthesedaysbook.comFacebook: @WillDobudPhDX: @WillDobudInstagram: @WillDobud @Kids_These_Days_BookLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-dobud-5209ab74/Substack: https://substack.com/@willdobudBooks mentioned in this episode:Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health by Will Dobud and Nevin HarperThe Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidti-Minds by Mari SwingleThe Spirit of Youth and the City Streets (1909) by Jane Addams[00:00:00] Start[00:02:46] Why Adults Get Trapped Trying to Fix Kids[00:06:06] What's Actually Going Right With Youth Today[00:10:17] Environmental Toxins and the Hard Questions[00:11:48] Digital Interference vs. Digital Integration[00:17:54] Can Kids Self-Regulate With Screens?[00:25:57] Phone-Free Schools: Solution or Distraction?[00:34:43] The Anxious Generation's Four Norms Problem[00:37:10] Putting Yourself in a Kid's Shoes[00:40:11] Experiential Learning and the Crowded Curriculum[00:48:07] Autism, Neurodivergence, and Label Mania[00:56:35] Identity Politics and Secondary Gain[01:04:04] Living Well With ADHD Without Hiding Behind It[01:12:11] Accommodations as Institutional Traps[01:16:22] Breaking Free From Therapeutic Dogma[01:18:46] Normies, Psychos, and Schizos[01:21:25] Institutional Exploitation in Mental Health[01:28:12] The Shortage of Experience and Risky Play[01:32:33] DC Punk Rock as Youth Participation Model[01:37:45] What Don't You Want to Change About Your Child?ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Thomas Hatsis joins us for episode 205 to discuss his new book Psychedelic Injustice: How Identity Politics Poisons the Psychedelic Renaissance. Together we discuss some pretty divisive topics: the distinction between social justice and critical social justice, how certain narratives are being imposed on the psychedelic movement, implicit bias research, decolonization rhetoric, the drug war's actual causes, and contested claims about psychedelic history. This one might get spicy for you. Enjoy responsibly. This episode was nearly taken down Find out why here RELEVANT LINKS
What happens when identity, power, and morality collide at the turn of a millennium?In this intellectually charged episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with author T. Awdry Winks to explore his critically acclaimed novel At the Millennium: Paradise Crossed — a modern mythology that confronts identity, oppression, justice, and belonging in contemporary America.Through allegory and symbolism, Paradise Crossed reimagines Eden in a capitalistic, warmongering epoch shaped by racial, immigrant, sexual, and gender identity struggles. This conversation goes beyond politics and into philosophy — examining trans identity as an expression of becoming, the moral architecture of oppression and injustice, and the role of immigration in shaping modern consciousness.Recognized by Midwest Book Review and recommended for community, college, and university literary collections, this episode challenges listeners to think deeper about who we are, who we exclude, and what stories still have the power to reshape society.This is not a light listen. It's a thinking episode — for readers, leaders, creatives, and anyone willing to interrogate the moment we're living in.
Trump has decidedly built a white supremacist army within the government. And this was always the risk when the Department of Homeland Security was created after 9-11. Influential people warned at the time that our norms would not protect us against someone who was determined to violate them using DHS. At the same time, white people are putting themselves on the line in a way that is reminiscent of the abolitionists. Plus, some often overlooked elements of the Civil Rights Movement, Jared Kushner's offensive and absurd vision for a “New Gaza,” and the destruction of a jewel of journalism that was CBS.Snag the hoodie that will bring you comfort for life, the American Giant Classic Full Zip.

. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: The Shift from Melting Pot to Tribal Division. Summary: Hanson laments the abandonment of the "melting pot" ideal in favor of tribalism and identity politics, which he believes fracture the nation. He argues that elites are replacing "equality of opportunity" with "equality of result," utilizing Orwellian language controls to rewrite history and silence opposition to these radical cultural changes.1861 ST.
