Nationalism is an ideology and movement centered on the idea that a nation should have its own independent state and govern itself within its perceived homeland. It involves strong identification with one's nation, fostering national pride, and can serve as a powerful force for unity and self-determination. I have no problem with the concept of people identifying with a nation, although dislike any system that divides people along arbitrary lines, including the soil where their umbilical cord was buried after birth. I prefer to identify myself as a citizen of planet Earth, a definition I'm perfectly willing to expand to a citizen of the universe when extraterrestrial civilizations
THE DANGERS OF TRANSACTIONAL NATIONALISM Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley warns that suppression in republics often leads to uncontrollable demands for liberty, citing the collapse of the Shah's Iran and the USSR. He distinguishes between "tribal nationalism," based on shared history, and "state nationalism," which is often transactional. Copley argues that transactional systems eventually fail because the state runs out of resources to trade for support, leading to corruption and the potential fracturing of society.

We've looked at resistance to fascism. The police state. Faith peddlers. And journalists holding power accountable. The first few episodes in this series have looked at serious topics when dealing with encroaching authoritarianism. For the fifth and final episode of the series for 2025, it's time to have a little bit of fun. While cinematic propaganda has been around for pretty much the entirety of the medium's existence, when it comes to American propaganda, there was something about the politics of the 1980s that found its way into a lot of action cinema. Joining me is Phil Fasso, and here we discuss "Rambo: First Blood - Part II" and "Rambo III", "Invasion U.S.A." and "The Sum of All Fears". I hope you enjoy!
Stāsta JVLMA profesore, Muzikoloģijas katedras Etnomuzikoloģijas klases vadītāja, Zinātniski pētnieciskā centra vadošā pētniece Anda Beitāne; Pārraides producente - Maruta Rubeze Mūsu tradicionālās kultūras bibliogrāfijā ir kāds avots, kas stāsta par dejām, kuru lielākā daļa, kā raksta šīs publikācijas autors Jurjānu Andrejs, "ar vācu nosaukumiem uzrakstītas sevišķi Kurzemē. Varbūt, ka tur viņas izplatījušās Kurzemes lielkungu (hercogu) laikos, vai arī, [..] no pilsētām pārgājušas uz laukiem, jo, kā zināms, vācu elements un valoda bij savā laikā stipri izplatījušies, sevišķi Kurzemes pārtikušo latvju ģimenēs" (Jurjāns 1921, 6). Tā, protams, ir Jurjānu Andreja "Latvju tautas mūzikas materiālu" piektā grāmata ar nosaukumu "Dejas". Šajā stāstā to aplūkošu laika semantikas ietvarā, balstoties Sv. Augustīna atziņā par laiku kā cilvēka gara un tā iztēles spēka atspoguļojumu. Saskaņā ar šo atziņu, pagātne un nākotne eksistē tikai cilvēka prātā (Le Poidevin, 2023). Tāpat vēlos atsaukties arī uz Johana Gotfrīda Herdera (Johann Gottfried Herder) pārliecību par pastāvēšanu Visumā jebkurā laikā bezgalīgi daudz reižu (Herder and Bohlman 2017) un Edmunda Huserla (Edmund Husserl) 1905. gadā (tātad, laikā, kad top Jurjāna materiāli) lekcijā pausto un vēlāk arī publicēto secinājumu par to, ka cilvēka fantāzija formē ideju par nākotni no pagātnes, un tā veidojas gaidas (Bernet 2013, XIII). Vēsturnieks Rainharts Kozeleks (Reinhart Koselleck) runā par tagadni, kurā iekļauti tie notikumi no pagātnes, ko iespējams atcerēties, un kas satur arī svešu pieredzi, ko tālāk nodod paaudzes vai institūcijas. Savukārt gaidas viņš raksturo kā "nākotnes veidotu tagadni", kas vērsta "uz vēl nepieredzēto, uz to, kas tiks atklāts. Cerības un bailes, vēlmes un ilgošanās, rūpes un racionāla analīze, apņēmīga izrādīšanās un zinātkāre: tas viss ietilpst gaidās un veido tās" (Koselleck 2004, 259). Filozofs un bijušais Lēvenes universitātes (Beļģijā) Huserla arhīva direktors Rūdolfs Bernets (Rudolf Bernet) šinī sakarībā lieto jēdzienu "laika puzle", ar to domājot laika kustību, ko virza vai ietekmē konkrētu cilvēku, kā viņš to apzīmē, sirdsapziņas pārbaude, pašapsūdzība un atmiņa (Bernet 2013, XIII). Vai, balstoties uz šodienas pieredzi, ir iespējams paplašināt zināšanas par tā laika kontekstu, kad Jurjāna publicētais materiāls tika dokumentēts? Vai varam ko vairāk uzzināt par cilvēkiem, kas šo materiālu savulaik lietoja? Kādos apstākļos šīs dejas tika spēlētas un dejotas? Viens no orientieriem, kas var palīdzēt rast atbildes uz šiem jautājumiem, ir kāds manuskripts, kas, Jurjāna kopīgā audumā rūpīgi ieausts, ar šodienas mērauklu prasīties prasās tikt ārā šķetināts un iespēju robežās atsevišķi aplūkots. Jurjānu Andrejs raksta, ka viens no viņa Deju grāmatas avotiem bijis "kāda veca muzikanta manuskripts Kurzemē, ko gadus 40 atpakaļ [viņam nodevis] toreizējs Pēterpils universitātes students Daniševiskis" (Jurjāns 1921, 5). Rēķinot no grāmatas publikācijas gada, proti, 1921., redzam, ka tas noticis laikā, kad arī Jurjāns pats studēja Pēterburgas konservatorijā, proti no 1875. līdz 1882. gadam. Tā kā tas bija veca muzikanta manuskripts, kas Jurjāna rīcībā nonāca jau caur trešajām rokām, varam pieņemt, ka reālā muzicēšanas praksē tas tika lietots plus-mīnus ap 1800. gadu. 40 no 123 Jurjāna piektajā grāmatā iekļautajām Kurzemes deju melodijām nāk no šī manuskripta. "Driziņa kadriļa", "Čiganovski", "Berliņš", "Šeider-kadrils", "Krukavičs", "Valc-Angleze", "Anlemaski", "Ekoseze", "Enģelīšu rušiņš", "Hackenschottisch", "Sešu pāru polonēze" un citi, viens par otru krāšņāki nosaukumi, nāk no šī vecā muzikanta manuskripta. Jurjāns gan piezīmē, ka "laba daļa no šīm dejām nav tautas dejas, bet patapinātas no citām tautām, kā tas redzams no sabojātiem nosaukumiem un izvešanas veida." (Jurjāns 1921, 5) Latvju tautas mūzikas materiālu ceturtajā grāmatā viņš raksta arī, ka "seno latvju mūzikas rīku" vietu "ieņēmusi vijole, harmonikas un beidzamā laikā arī tautas cītere" un turpina, ka "no šiem īpaši harmonikas samaitājošu iespaidu darījušas uz tautas mūziku". (Jurjāns 1912, 59) Savukārt melodijas, Jurjāna vārdiem runājot, "visvairāk priekšā dziedātas, vai arī uz vijoles spēlētas" (turpat). Vecais muzikants, kā izskatās, bijis vijolnieks, un spēlējis dejas, kas, visticamāk, dejotas pilīs, ne būdiņās.

The Masterclass Hegemony, Revolt and Selfhood: India's Encounters with Languages explores three defining moments in India's linguistic journey: the arrival of Sanskrit, Persian, and English. Each language came from beyond India's borders, gained a foothold, and extended its influence across diverse cultures, communities, and tongues. Their dominance shaped not only communication but also identity, politics, and thought. Thus, becoming inseparable from the larger story of India itself. These lectures will trace how each language consolidated its power, how resistance took form, and how new voices emerged in the process. Strikingly, in every encounter, it was not the imperial language that endured, but the languages rooted in the soil (the desa, the nadu) that reshaped and redefined the cultural landscape. As we step into an uncertain digital future, this series asks whether India's linguistic resilience will once again carry it forward, as it has so often before. Language between Nationalism and Technology In today's charged climate, languages carry the weight of both nationalism and digital futures. This session asks how India's linguistic diversity will evolve in the twenty-first century, and whether the voices of many can thrive amid the pulls of technology, identity, and the search for cultural belonging.

Savage discusses "The Women Who Flew for Hitler," a book about Hitler's heroic women pilots. He uses their stories to delve into how nationalism and patriotism, when detached from moral integrity, can evolve into racism and zealotry. He highlights the stark differences between two pilots and their contrasting beliefs and actions during Nazi Germany. Savage links these historical lessons to contemporary issues in America, emphasizing the importance of maintaining moral integrity in nationalism and patriotism.

Convicted on terrorism-related charges in 2004 during the Second Intifada, Marwan Barghouti is serving a life sentence in Israeli prison. However, his name continues to surface in negotiations over prisoner exchanges, and President Donald Trump has also mentioned that Barghouti's case was brought to his attention. This is because Barghouti is by far the most popular Palestinian political figure today, at a time when his people are desperate for unifying leadership. In this episode, the scholar Khaled Elgindy of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft discusses Barghouti's life story, which traces the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco has now lasted for half a century. The anniversary of the invasion passed at the beginning of November. It came just as the Trump administration was working at the United Nations to legitimize permanent Moroccan rule over the land and its people, including the indigenous Sahrawis. Today's episode is the first part of a two-part interview on the history of Western Sahara. Part one is going to cover the experience of Spanish colonial rule and the emergence of a movement for independence before the invasion by Morocco in 1975. Part two will carry the story up to the present day. Our guest Jacob Mundy is a professor of peace and conflict studies at Colgate University. He's the co-author of Western Sahara: War, Nationalism, and Conflict Irresolution.

He also conducted extensive research into the construction of regional identities in France, Spain and Germany between 1890 and 1940. At present, he mainly publishes about nationalization processes in a comparative perspective. He is the author of Nationalism: A World History. In this episode, we focus on Nationalism. We start by talking about when nationalism and nation-states started, and how they evolved over time. We discuss how nationalist radicalization occurred from 1885 to 1914, World War I, the interwar period, the impact of World War II, and the modernization of nation-states and the dissolution of modern empires. We talk about the impact of nationalism on culture, and vice-versa. We discuss exceptions to the nation-state model (Saudi Arabia, Brunei, the Vatican City, and Afghanistan), and nations without states (the Kurds, and the Catalans). Finally, we talk about the current rise of nationalism, xenophobic incidents, and being against the entry of poor immigrants.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Welcome to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. This week co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper delve into George Orwell's infamous essay on sport, specifically focusing on Dinamo Moscow's 1945 tour of Britain. They explore Orwell's controversial viewpoint that serious sport is akin to 'war minus the shooting,' and delve into the historical and political context of this post-WWII football tour. The discussion covers the tactical innovations introduced by the Soviet team, the media and public's reaction, and the broader implications for international sport and politics. This episode provides an in-depth look at how football can both unite and divide, reflecting on Orwell's critique and its relevance to today's sports culture.00:00 Introduction: The Dark Side of Sports01:05 George Orwell's Influence on Sports01:49 The Political Context of the 1945 Moscow Tour02:47 The Goodwill Tour: Ideals vs. Reality05:00 The Soviet Union's Football Strategy08:23 The Arrival of Dinamo Moscow21:45 The First Match: Dinamo Moscow vs Chelsea30:53 The Political Showdown: Arsenal vs Dinamo Moscow32:31 The Final Game in Scotland35:56 Soviet Propaganda and the Legacy of the Tour40:36 Tactical Innovations and English Football's Response47:36 George Orwell's Critique of Sport53:18 Football's Role in Nationalism and International Relations01:00:51 Concluding Thoughts on Orwell and Football Hosted on Acast.

Over the course of a decade in politics Rory Stewart saw how power really works and what forces drive our communities apart. He was a backbench MP, held several ministerial positions, and stood for prime minister – before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise. Now, well away from the political arena, he regularly shares his insights into current affairs and global politics as co-host of the UK's leading political podcast, The Rest Is Politics. In October he came to Intelligence Squared to discuss the state of Britain and the world today. He drew from his new book 'Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders' to discuss his decade as MP of one of Britain's most rural constituencies, Penrith and The Border. And he argued that to truly create a better future for all we must understand the tensions that exist between rural and urban, between farming and the natural world, between the need to preserve and to grow, and between local and national politics. Bridges must – and can – be built, he argued. The event was hosted by former MP and author Caroline Lucas.

In October he came to Intelligence Squared to discuss the state of Britain and the world today. He drew from his new book 'Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders' to discuss his decade as MP of one of Britain's most rural constituencies, Penrith and The Border. And he argued that to truly create a better future for all we must understand the tensions that exist between rural and urban, between farming and the natural world, between the need to preserve and to grow, and between local and national politics. Bridges must – and can – be built, he argued. The event was hosted by former MP and author Caroline Lucas.

As global powers double down on militarism and defense, Daniel Zoughbie argues that the most transformative force in the Middle East has always come from citizen diplomacy. A complex-systems scientist and diplomatic historian, Zoughbie joins Mark Labberton to explore how twelve U.S. presidents have "kicked the hornet's nest" of the modern Middle East. Drawing on his work in global health and his new book Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump, Zoughbie contrasts the view from refugee camps and microclinic networks with the view from the Oval Office, arguing that American security rests on a three-legged stool of defense, diplomacy, and development. He explains why Gerald Ford stands out as the lone president who truly leveraged diplomacy, how the Marshall Plan model of enlightened self-interest can guide policy now, and why nationalism, not mere economics, lies at the heart of Gaza's future. Throughout, he presses listeners toward "citizen diplomacy" that resists pride, militarism, and fatalism. Episode Highlights "We've constantly ignored diplomacy." " You don't have to be enemies with people to get them to do what is in their own self-interest." "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza. You can build the Four Seasons in Gaza and it's not going to work. You're just going to have another war until you address that core issue of nationalism." "These three Ds defense diplomacy development are the three legged stool of American security and we know how important diplomacy and development are." "From Truman to Trump, only one president, and that is Gerald Ford, surprisingly the only unelected president, gets this right." "Pride—national pride, the pride of any one individual—is toxic. It's toxic to the individual. It's toxic to the nation. It's toxic to the world." "Foreign policymaking is not just something for secretaries of state and those in power. All of us in a democracy have a role to play."

Zoughbie is a complex-systems scientist, historian, and expert on presidential decision-making. He is associate project scientist at UC Berkeley's Institute of International Studies, a faculty affiliate of the UCSF/UCB Center for Global Health Delivery, Diplomacy, and Economics, and principal investigator of the Middle East and North Africa Diplomacy, Development, and Defense Initiative. He is the author of Kicking the Hornet's Nest: U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East from Truman to Trump and of Indecision Points: George W. Bush and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. His award-winning research has appeared in journals such as PLOS Medicine, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Social Science and Medicine. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UC Berkeley, he studied at Oxford on a Marshall Scholarship and completed his doctorate there as a Weidenfeld Scholar. Show Notes Middle East Background and Microclinic Origins Daniel Zoughbie recalls visiting the Middle East as a child—"frankly horrified" by what he saw UC Berkeley protests over the Iraq War and post-9/11 U.S. policy in the region Metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes as an overlooked "greatest killer in the region." Neighbors in the West Bank sharing food, medicine, and blood-pressure cuffs—leads to the "micro clinic" concept Good health behaviors, like bad ones and even violence, can be contagious through social networks Social Networks, Anthropology, and Security Social anthropology, political science, and international relations Medical problems as simultaneously biological and sociological problems Understanding Middle East security demands attention to decisions "at the very bottom" as well as "the view from above" October 7 and 9/11 illustrate how small groups of people can "change the world with their decisions." Complex Systems and Foreign Policy Complexity is always increasing, and diplomacy and development exist to slow it down. Definition of "complex system": as one where many inputs produce outcomes that cannot be reduced to single causes. "We almost have a new law here, which is that complexity is always increasing in the universe. And the role of diplomacy and development, as I see it in international relations, is to slow things down. It's to stop complexity from advancing so that people have time to cool their tempers and to solve major security crises." Type 2 diabetes as a model for thinking about how city planning, economics, relationships, and habits interact He applies that lens to international relations: nations, leaders, institutions, and history form a "cascade of complexity." From Refugee Camps to Presidential Palaces George Shultz and Tony Blair: decision-makers as "real human beings," not abstractions Theological and ideological forces—such as certain apocalyptic readings of scripture—that shape U.S. foreign policy Gnosticism and eschatology within American right-wing Christianity Painstaking global health work on the ground and sweeping decisions made in Washington, Brussels, or New York Twelve Presidents and One Exception Kicking the Hornet's Nest: analysis of twelve presidents from Truman to Trump through the lens of Middle East decision-making Core claim: Only Gerald Ford truly rebalanced the three Ds of defense, diplomacy, and development. U.S. policy in the Levant: heavy reliance on militarism, coups, and covert actions while underinvesting in diplomacy and development Claim: "Far better alternatives were on the table" for every administration, yet consistently passed over. Gerald Ford, Kissinger, and the Path to Peace Daniel contends that the 1967 and 1973 wars were both preventable and nearly became global nuclear catastrophes. Ford inherits the presidency amid Watergate and national division, but keeps Henry Kissinger at State. Ford presses Israel and Egypt toward serious negotiations, empowering Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy and personal ties. A sharply worded letter threatening to "reconsider" the U.S.–Israel relationship Ford's diplomacy and the development of Camp David and the enduring Egypt–Israel peace based on "land for peace." Pride, Personality, and Presidential Failure Did Ford's temperament keep him from making himself the center of the story? In contrast, many presidents and other leaders write themselves "thickly" into the narrative of the conflict. Pride—personal and national—as a toxic force that repeatedly undermines U.S. policy The Iraq War and democracy-promotion agenda and the self-defeating nature of moralistic, militarized crusades Marshall Plan and Enlightened Self-Interest George Marshall and harsh punishment after World War I helped produce Nazi Germany The Marshall Plan models an "enlightened way of viewing the American self-interest": rebuilding Europe and Japan to secure U.S. security. He contrasts that with the neglect of the Levant, where aid and institution-building never matched military activism. Marshall's genius lies in locating the intersection between others' deepest needs and American capabilities. Militarism, Iran, and Nuclear Risk Recent U.S.–Israel–Iran confrontation as an "extremely dangerous moment"—with 60 percent enriched uranium unaccounted for JCPOA as an imperfect but effective diplomatic achievement, but dismantled in favor of militarism Claim: Bombing Iran scattered nuclear material and increased complexity rather than reducing the threat. He warns that one nuclear device could be delivered by low-tech means—a boat or helicopter—endangering civilians and U.S. forces in the Gulf. The only realistic path forward: renewed multilateral diplomacy between U.S., Israel, Iran, Russia, China, Pakistan, India, and regional actors Ethical Realism and Max Weber "Ethical realism"—Max Weber's distinction between the ethic of the gospel and the ethic of responsibility Statespeople bear responsibility for using force, yet the greatest can still say "here I stand and I can do no other." Claim: True leadership seeks a higher ethic where national interest aligns with genuine concern for others. Gaza, Nationalism, and Two States Welcoming the end of active war between Israel and Hamas and critiquing reconstruction plans that ignore politics Conflict is fundamentally nationalist: a struggle for self-determination by both Jewish and Palestinian peoples Claim: Economic development without a credible political horizon will not prevent "another October 7th and another terrible war." In his view, only partition of mandatory Palestine into two states can meet legitimate self-determination claims. For example, "You can build skyscrapers in Gaza… and it's not going to work" without addressing nationalism. Citizen Diplomacy and a Better Way Foreign policy is not only the work of secretaries of state; democratic citizens have responsibilities. American University of Beirut and the Gaza Baptist Hospital as fruits of citizen diplomacy Claim: Educational and medical institutions can change lives more profoundly and durably than military campaigns. Redirecting resources from bombs to universities and hospitals to reduce the need for future military interventions An invitation to citizen diplomacy: informed voting, sustained attention, and creative engagement for a more just peace Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

This week we're featuring an episode from American UnExceptionalism, a limited podcast series that examines the intersection of authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism around the world – looking for lessons that Americans can learn from to resist Christian nationalism and the threat it poses to our democracy. The series turns the idea of American exceptionalism on its head, asking: What can we learn from others about protecting democracy when the stakes are high? Co-hosts Susan Hayward and Matthew D. Taylor bring their expertise to bear as scholars of religion, religious extremism, and peace. In this episode, Taylor and Hayward explore Sri Lanka and Myanmar (Burma), two Buddhist-majority countries. In the words of one guest, a “minority complex” exists in both countries – the sense among members of the dominant group that they're under threat from minority groups inlcuding Hindus, Muslims and Christians. Authoritarian leaders have exploited these fears, but religion has also been used in creative ways as a tool of resistance. And in Sri Lanka, a nonviolent uprising unseated an elected president who had become increasingly authoritarian, amidst an economic crisis in 2022. Guests are Geethika Dharmasinghe from Sri Lanka, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, with a PhD in Asian Literature, Religion and Culture, and David Thang Moe from Myanmar, is a Postdoctoral Associate and Lecturer in Southeast Asian Studies at Yale University.American UnExceptionalism is a project of Axis Mundi in collaboration with the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies.

Follow her on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tilllllly.y X: https://x.com/blondepraxis TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blondepraxis Tilly breaks down the online witch-hunt she faced, the accusations from both Right and Left, and the bizarre moment when progressives turned on her simply for saying that celebrating someone's death is wrong. 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.
GLOBALISM STARTED WITH THE TOWER IF BABELWe often think of Globalism as a modern concept-but nothing could be further than the truth. Today, I am going to show you that what we consider modern day globalism is an attempt by sinful man to consolidate and centralize power against God's will. Let's get started.According to Webster dictionary “GLOBALISM is a national policy of treating the whole world as a proper sphere for (a single) political influence compare. WEBSTER than add's two additional SUB-HEADINGS which include: 1) IMPERIALISM-which is governmental power over an entire country and often over smaller-weaker countries through influence but more often through military power. and 2) INTERNATIONALISM which Webster Dictionary gives an example as follows: “The era was marked by the expansion of liberal internationalism, economic globalization and U.S.-led-and CONSTRUCTED multilateralism.Plase SUBSCRIBE to our Channel!!!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

When Zechariah encounters an angel of the Lord, the angel tells him not to be afraid because his prayers have been heard. As an elderly priest, Zechariah had witnessed the fall of Judean independence and the start of Roman occupation. To be sure, Herod, who ruled at the behest of Rome, brought many things to fear. Despite his fears, Zechariah longed for the coming Messiah and a son. Similarly, we find ourselves in a time when many are afraid about the present, but what we see in this story is that God is present even in our fear, and even in our moments of silence, we can still insist on hope for the future. www.TheLoftLA.org

PREVIEW Autocrats Versus Democrats: The Rise of Illiberal Ideologies Professor Michael McFaul Professor Michael McFaul discusses the growing global appeal of autocrat models, including Putinism's illiberal populist nationalism in Europe and the state-run economic model favored by China in the developing world. He notes that bureaucracy and veto points stifle growth and cause inefficiency in the U.S. Although democracy remains popular, its appeal is less potent than it was thirty years ago.

Are borders tyrannical or necessary? Returning guest Chris Polk helps us dismantle the political theater around immigration and ask what allegiance to Jesus looks like when the state shows up with masks and rifles. From truck-stop stories to John 4, they explore why restricting movement may be the worst tyranny and how ordinary neighbor love beats team-red/blue fear. Chris argues both parties fed the ICE machine, shares a Cuban car rescue story that needed no papers, and reminds us that Jesus walked through Samaria, not around it. If Mary and Joseph fled Herod today, would we demand their passports? They dig into: Why “do something!” turns into state violence Borders as cages that keep you in vs. others out The Good Samaritan as the “Good Immigrant” Cop-aganda and qualified immunity “Would Jesus follow the law?” when the law crushes the least

2. Key Players in the Rise to Power. Timothy Ryback introduces core players in the 1932–1933 drama. Gregor Strasser was critical to the NSDAP, balancing Hitler's fanatic nationalism with a committed socialist agenda, functioning as a popular coalition builder. On the establishment side were Chancellor Papen and Minister of Defense Schleicher. Schleicher was the political mastermind and "key power broker." Papen was widely seen as Schleicher's unintelligent "puppet." Also prominent was Röhm, who led the SA (Brownshirts). The SA was a 400,000-man private army of stormtroopers used for fundraising and fighting communists in the militarized German streets. 1933
