Podcasts about perverse

**REPOST** On this week's annotated deep-dive, The Cultists present Catherine Hardwick's wondrously absurd adaptation of Twilight (2008). The tale of a self-loathing undead stalker who has been stuck repeating high school for one hundred years, and the clumsy death-welcoming teen of his dreams, Twilight is a wild trip. Known as the phenomenon that brought a reinvigorated interest in teen paranormal romance to the masses, Hardwick's first and only adaptation circumvents any of the potential softer angles of the genre to instead create a masterpiece of the bizarre. Three parts absurdism, two parts angst, and a healthy dash of the "imp of the perverse," this strange concoction of a film stands alone outside the rest of the subsequent franchise as something truly spectacular.(That's right, we love this movie. And we aren't even joking).Deep Dives include:The film's history and production; the myriad of practical effects; filming locations, comparisons with the novel source material; the joy of teen angst; the aesthetic paradox of May-December romances; Native American lore (from New Brunswick sea serpents to (the lack of) Cold Ones); and why, as even Hardwick herself claims, we have the special tonal peculiarities of this film thanks to a little thing Edgar Allen Poe once called "The Imp of the Perverse."Episode Safeword:  Consent (REPOSTED Episode from 2022 that traveled over from the old Anchor platform with a broken link).

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on October 8, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Flesh loves to praise other flesh.  Often when we think of a human, that we admire and of all the things that person has accomplished, we are nearly swept away.   Then the Holy Spirit will say to me, concerning that person who has died, "But where is that person now?"   All that matters is: "Was that person a godly person?   If you want to give something to your children, give your children an example of a godly life in Christ Jesus.   This is the greatest gift you could ever give to your children.   There is a business which can trace your ancestry and often can tell you which country your relatives lived in before coming to America.   But all that matters to me about my ancestors is this:  Were they godly people?  Did they belong to God?  Did they serve God?   This is the important thing for each of us.    *****   Concerning money:   I Timothy 6   5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.   6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.   7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.   8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.   9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.   10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.   11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.   12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.   17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;   18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;   19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.   ***   Romans 2   12  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;   13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.   14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:   15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Second Thessalonians Series: 2 Thessalonians 3:2-Paul, Silvanus and Timothy Request to be Delivered from Perverse, Evil People-Lesson # 49

It's Friday, August 29th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus California school district prohibits prayer before board meeting A California school district is fighting a legal battle to defend opening prayer, arguing it's perfectly permissible to open meetings by invoking God, reports Faithwire.com. Joel Oster, an attorney for Advocates For Faith & Freedom, told CBN News that Chino Valley Unified School District has taken decisive legal action to challenge what it believes to be an outdated injunction from the Ninth Circuit Court preventing the school board from opening with prayer. The Christian legal rights attorney explained himself. OSTER: “It's not a violation of the First Amendment. It's not an unconstitutional establishment of religion to just simply allow a deliberative body to open up its sessions with prayer.” Remember the truth of Ephesians 6:12. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser flips: Grateful Trump lowered crime After previously criticizing President Donald Trump's federal takeover of Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has since changed her stance, praising the federal operation for the reduction in homicides, carjackings, and gun crimes, reports One America News. On Wednesday, Bowser gave an update on the result of the federal takeover, revealing that violent crime is down by 45% since the operation began in comparison to crime statistics within the same period last year. The nation's capital has seen a 38% decrease in homicides, an 87% decrease in carjackings, and a 62% decrease in robberies. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Thursday that there have been 1,283 arrests and the seizure of 135 illegal guns as a result of the operation. In order to help drop the homicide rate even further, President Trump made this announcement. TRUMP: “If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we're going to be seeking the death penalty. And that's a very strong preventative we have no choice in DC and Washington.  States are going to have to make their own decision. But if somebody kills somebody, it's the death penalty.” Genesis 9:6 says, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image." Trump fired CDC Director On Thursday, the White House said President Donald Trump has fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez after she refused to resign, reports CNBC. Hours later, NBC News reported the White House had tapped Jim O'Neill, deputy secretary of the Health and Human Services department, to serve as acting director of the CDC. O'Neill was sworn in as deputy secretary in June, and is a key aide to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The temporary appointment suggests that Kennedy could have a clearer path to make changes to U.S. immunization policy, particularly after Monarez had refused some of his requests. The permanent replacement for Monarez will have to be confirmed, though, by the Senate. Homosexual CDC official, who called pregnant women pregnant “people,” resigned Plus, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a homosexual man married to his alleged husband, Michael Macneal, resigned at the CDC in part because he had been upset by Kennedy's decision to remove COVID-19 vaccines from immunization schedules for healthy children and pregnant women, reports The Epoch Times. And, like many on the left, Daskalakis insisted on calling pregnant women “pregnant people.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made this comment. LEAVITT:  “I understand there were a few other individuals who resigned after the firing of Ms. Monarez. One of those individuals wrote in his departure statement that he identifies pregnant women as ‘pregnant people.' So, that's not someone who we want in this administration anyway. So, if people are not aligned with the President's vision and the Secretary's vision to make our country healthy again, then we will gladly show them the door.” Kirk Cameron warns America about Taylor Swift Christian actor Kirk Cameron recently sounded the alarm over Taylor Swift's cultural influence, reports The Christian Post. CAMERON: “This billionaire pop star in heels is crowned ‘the voice of a generation.' What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin? “You get the most powerful sermon that America's youth will hear this year. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship!” Cracker Barrel has funded sexually perverse lifestyles for a decade Despite the fact that Cracker Barrel has been shamed into keeping its own nostalgic logo, the controversy extends beyond the logo and remodels.  According to Fox Business, the rebranding saga began on May 16, 2024, when Julie Masino, the new president as of 2023, unveiled a “strategic transformation plan” to investors, emphasizing “refining” and “evolving the brand across all touchpoints.” Investor Sardar Biglari, a prominent shareholder, issued four warnings, including a 120-page slide deck and a seven-page letter to shareholders, labeling the rebrand “obvious folly” and warning of “shareholder value destruction.” He argued, “Cracker Barrel is not in dire need of a transformation; it's in dire need of a turnaround,” and criticized the board as “flawed” and “responsible for the current malaise.” Despite these warnings, Masino and the board pressed forward with a $700 million remodel at Cracker Barrel, ignoring Biglari's concerns and dismissing him as an “activist investor” with an “ultimate agenda.” However, from a Christian standpoint, the most objectionable aspect of Cracker Barrel is its apparent longstanding push of sexual perversion. Listen to what conservative activist Robby Starbuck said at the beginning of a 15-minute statement. STARBUCK: “We investigated Cracker Barrel, and what I'm about to show you is a company infested with left-wing activists who are more interested in safe spaces, pronouns, and virtue signaling than they are in their customers. “I think the best way to start is by telling you what you've been funding if you've gone to Cracker Barrel in recent years. So, let's start with Nashville [homosexual] Pride. Yes, Cracker Barrel is a proud sponsor of Nashville Pride, and had been part of it for over a decade, along with participating for multiple years in Evansville, Indiana's third River City Pride event. “They even made LGBTQ+ rocking chairs for these pride events. The same pride rocking chair that they put front and center in their Tennessee corporate office and at their 2019 managers conference for the Cracker Barrel managers. “And for a food service company, you might be thinking their focus should be good food and good service, but their own website says, ‘This year, Cracker Barrel's focus was to be a part of the [Homosexual/Transgender] Pride experience.' And they're very proud of their pro-trans rocking chairs. Let me tell you, they call it, ‘Bringing the front porch to Pride.' And if you think that's out of alignment with their customers, well, you're right!” Cracker Barrel leadership is recognizing the truth of Galatians 6:8. It says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Wisdom from the Past to Live in the Present SeriesKey Bible Verse: "A worthless person digs up evil, while his words are like scorching fire." Proverbs 16: 27

Sean Combs, known to many listeners as Puffy or P Diddy, remains at the heart of some of the most dramatic headlines in entertainment today. Just yesterday, dramatic testimony emerged in a Manhattan federal courtroom as Combs' former girlfriend described “freak off” sessions in which she and Combs allegedly hired male porn stars for paid sexual encounters in high-end hotels from late 2021 through early 2022. She told jurors the encounters were meant to impress the Bad Boy Records founder and became a prominent part of the federal case against Combs, who was arrested in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. In court, it was revealed that these “hotel nights” were arranged with the involvement of Combs' money and that explicit material was requested at his direction. Combs, now 55, has pleaded not guilty but faces life in prison if convicted, and these sessions have become a linchpin of the prosecution's argument, according to AOL.Adding to the spectacle, stunning evidence photos were revealed from an FBI raid on Combs' Los Angeles mansion. Investigators allegedly discovered roughly 200 bottles of baby oil and 900 bottles of Astroglide lubricant, stored in what was described as a humidity-controlled container, during a search connected to the ongoing sex trafficking probe. Homeland Security Special Agent Andre LeMon testified to the court that this cache was unlike anything he'd seen in dozens of major investigations. Jurors also saw images from the search of Combs' Miami Beach home, with multiple witnesses describing a series of explicit, drug-fueled events, all of which Combs has strongly denied, reports AOL.Despite the serious criminal accusations, Combs has continued to maintain connections with prominent figures from the music and entertainment industries, a network he's maintained since his early 1990s debut. However, his legal problems have overshadowed much of his legacy. According to CBS News, Combs remains in detention while awaiting sentencing, having been found guilty on two prostitution-related charges, though he avoided conviction on the most severe trafficking and racketeering counts.Meanwhile, rumors have run rampant online, with recent viral videos falsely claiming that comedian Eddie Murphy testified against Combs. These claims have no basis in fact, as FandomWire clarified, confirming that Murphy was never involved in the proceedings against Combs and did not attribute any career move to Combs' influence.As the investigation and court proceedings continue to unfold, the story of Sean Combs stands as one of the most sensational and high-profile in recent music history, with new developments expected in the coming weeks.Thank you for tuning in.

In today's Morning Manna, we uncover the chilling profile of the one Solomon calls a “perverse man”—a man whose words are twisted, whose actions are subtle, and whose heart is set on sowing division. Proverbs 6:12–15 warns us that not all danger wears a villain's mask—some plot quietly with gestures, whispers, and deceit. But Scripture assures us: their end is certain, sudden, and without remedy. Join us as we explore how to recognize, avoid, and guard against the spirit of discord in our own hearts and in our communities.Join the leading community for Conservative Christians! https://www.FaithandValues.comYou can partner with us by visiting https://www.FaithandValues.com/donate, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!https://www.AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

Stau beim Einlochen! Was klingt wie der zweite Teil von Bang-Boom-Bang-Andis Lieblingsfilm, war in Wahrheit nur eines der vielen Probleme, die Thomas am Wochenende beschäftigten. Bei einem erneuten Versuch, als Teil einer Gruppenveranstaltung über den Umweg „Hobby“ eine goldene Brücke von seiner PlayStation hinein ins echte Leben zu bauen, ging es nun auf den Golfplatz. Muss man sich mal vorstellen: Im Computer tobt der Eldenfeind, und Lord Wlan schleicht in aller Seelenruhe übers noble Grün. So sehr man sich über Überraschungen freut, so schön ist es auf der anderen Seite, sich von Allbekanntem beruhigen zu lassen. So schätzt Lundt beispielsweise die Routine seiner freitäglichen Mallorca-Flüge und ließ sich, motiviert an den Gedanken eines neu entdeckten 30 € Weins (der insofern ein Schnäppchen war, da er schmeckt wie einer für 150 €), zu einer Heldentat im Flugzeug hinreißen. Nun darf man sich fragen: Was hat er getan? Hat er mittels Heimlich-Griff ein altes Mütterlein gerettet, welches drohte, an einer Erdnuss zu ersticken? Hat er als spontaner Geburtshelfer ein Kind im Mittelgang ins Leben gehoben? Oder war er am Ende schon bereits im Flugzeug Opfer des ersten Urlaubsscams – und auf seinem heißgeliebten Stammplatz 1D flog am Ende ein nicht ganz so feiner Herr mit „Sausalitos“-Hut Richtung Kurzurlaub? Wer jetzt denkt: Na, wenigstens Klaas hat ja sicher was Tolles erlebt. Der ist ja prominent – wie soll es anders sein? Sagen wir so: In einer Welt, in der es normal ist, dass Fernsehstars mit muffigen Klamotten aus einem Autobahnraststättengebüsch klettern, sich eine Dose Bier holen, um sich dann wieder wie der örtliche Perverse ins vermüllte Dickicht zu verabschieden – ja, dann kann man sagen, hat er sich verhalten wie ein echter Fernsehstar.

June 10, 2025 Today's Reading: John 10:1-10Daily Lectionary: Numbers 22:21-23:3; Luke 22:24-46“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. When folks look around the sheepfold, it's a lot easier to find the robbers than the Lord. Jesus says, “The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy.” That part, I see. That part we can't miss. The death. The destruction. The evil that doesn't just persist in a world of chance where storms and plagues come and go. There are the evils men do to each other. Sometimes even in the name of religion. Our Lord never contends the robbers being present. He warns us about them. Expect them. They're actually a sign you're in the right place. That He won't chase them out is the cause of all kinds of frustration, but He promises something even more peculiar.  Jesus doesn't stand back from what's wrong. He doesn't demand we earn His favor to fix it. He doesn't promise a perfect world. He promises the cross. He promises to come to the sheep. To rescue them. To carry the lost and bind up the wounded. He comes to make the dead live. He comes to bear the cross, not for the righteous, but for sinners. He came to die for you and for me. He came to be the lightning rod for everything wrong so we could finally stop pretending things were fine, blaming each other for what's wrong, and desperately trying to fix it without success. We cast each sin and evil upon the cross, where God bears them to the bitter end for us. And we hear the voice of the shepherd. It is finished. Your sins are forgiven you. Death is destroyed. And Jesus is risen from the grave.  Understand what the resurrection means. It is an apologetic of hope. Evil raged as hard as it could and still failed to keep Jesus dead. This is a religion carried forward on the backs of martyrs, not afraid to die because they saw someone prove it's not so permanent. They died alone and afraid. They saw what the robbers and thieves could do. And they sang hymns about the shepherd while they died at the hands of the thieves. And even here, Jesus leads them through the door. From the cross to the empty tomb. He rose. They live. And that's beautiful. And it's something that we can still hear today. The shepherd still speaks. He sends his undershepherds. They preach the gospel. There will still be others. Robbers. Don't hear them. They speak of not Jesus. But we'll sing hymns no matter what because the measure of our hope is still the voice of the risen shepherd.  In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me And on His shoulder gently laid And home rejoicing brought me (LSB 709:3)- Rev. Harrison Goodman, Higher Things Executive Director of Mission and Theology.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.In Clarifying the Great Commission, Rev. Daniel Christian Voth identifies common omissions from our collective understanding of Jesus' farewell discourse—omissions that turn Christ's promises of forgiveness, life, and salvation into a legalistic command. Come and discover a richer understanding of The Great Commission.

I welcome back Deb Fillman to delve into the complex intersection of education and mental health services in schools. We explore the growing trend of universal mental health screenings and the implications they have for students, teachers, and parents. Deb shares her concerns about how these programs often blur the lines between education and therapy, placing undue burdens on teachers and potentially mislabeling normal childhood behaviors as mental health issues.We discuss the shift from diagnosing conditions like ADHD to a broader pathologization of student behavior, raising critical questions about the effectiveness and necessity of these mental health initiatives. Are we truly addressing the needs of vulnerable students, or are we creating a culture of over-diagnosis and dependency on medication?Additionally, we examine the ethical considerations surrounding consent and privacy in school settings, particularly when it comes to sensitive topics like mental health. As we navigate these pressing issues, we aim to empower parents to think critically about the resources available to their children and to advocate for more meaningful educational experiences. Join us as we unpack these vital topics and consider the future of mental health in education.Deborah Fillman is the founder of The Reason We Learn, a YouTube channel and Substack publication dedicated to exposing what's happening in education and empowering parents to think clearly, ask better questions, and take charge of their children's learning.A longtime homeschooling mother of three—two now adults and one finishing high school—Deborah combines personal experience with deep research to help parents cut through the noise of educational jargon, political agendas, and the steady erosion of academic standards. She's known for her clear, principled commentary and her commitment to parental authority in education.In addition to her work online, Deborah is a private tutor and enrichment instructor with Cogito Learning Center, where she teaches logic, writing, and literature to students from across the country. She also advises families seeking alternatives to the conventional curriculum, helping them identify high-quality resources that challenge students intellectually and support their growth in character, independence, and critical thinking.Whether through video, writing, or direct instruction, Deborah's mission is the same: to restore clarity, courage, and common sense to the conversation about how—and why—we educate.cogitolearningcenter.com - Summer session starts July 6.

Tamar Shirinian is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her new book, Survival of a Perverse Nation: Morality and Queer Possibility in Armenia (Duke UP, 2024), studies the relationships between gender, sexuality, nationalism, political-economy, and social reproduction and how these are experienced, imagined, and felt—especially, in the postsocialist and post-Soviet world. Focused on the Republic of Armenia, Survival of a Perverse Nation examines LGBTQ and feminist organizations as well as grass roots initiatives, right-wing nationalist movements, and the links these formations have within geopolitics.

Tamar Shirinian is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her new book, Survival of a Perverse Nation: Morality and Queer Possibility in Armenia (Duke UP, 2024), studies the relationships between gender, sexuality, nationalism, political-economy, and social reproduction and how these are experienced, imagined, and felt—especially, in the postsocialist and post-Soviet world. Focused on the Republic of Armenia, Survival of a Perverse Nation examines LGBTQ and feminist organizations as well as grass roots initiatives, right-wing nationalist movements, and the links these formations have within geopolitics.

6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

Marc Joly est sociologue, chercheur au CNRS, et il a récemment publié un ouvrage fascinant : La pensée perverse au pouvoir.Quand Anne-Clotilde Ziegler, que vous avez déjà entendue sur VLAN dans un épisode consacré à la perversion narcissique, m'a recommandé de discuter avec Marc, je n'ai pas hésité une seconde. Il faut dire que le sujet me travaille depuis un moment, surtout à l'aune des comportements politiques qu'on observe aujourd'hui. J'avais envie d'aller au-delà de l'indignation ou du jugement hâtif, pour vraiment comprendre ce qui se joue dans ces dynamiques de pouvoir si troublantes.Dans cet épisode, j'ai eu le plaisir – et l'honnêteté, parfois l'inconfort – de plonger avec Marc dans les rouages de la perversion narcissique. Mais pas seulement dans le cadre intime : on parle ici de pouvoir, de politique, d'Emmanuel Macron bien sûr, mais aussi de Donald Trump, de ce que ces figures révèlent de nos sociétés. Marc est passionnant. Il a une rigueur intellectuelle rare, mais il sait aussi écouter, douter, nuancer.On a parlé de son parcours, de ce qui l'a mené à enquêter sur la violence psychologique, sur la manière dont un terme comme "pervers narcissique" a quitté le domaine de la psychanalyse pour s'inscrire dans nos vies quotidiennes, dans nos discussions, et maintenant dans notre compréhension du pouvoir. J'ai voulu comprendre si Emmanuel Macron, dans ses actions et dans ses discours, pouvait incarner cette figure toxique, si décriée dans les relations personnelles. Et je vous le dis franchement : certaines réponses font froid dans le dos.Nous avons aussi abordé le rôle de Brigitte Macron dans cette construction identitaire et politique, la manière dont leur relation – hors normes – a été instrumentalisée dans un récit médiatique. Et puis il y a cette comparaison troublante avec Trump, où le déni devient une stratégie de gouvernement, où le narcissisme n'est plus une tare mais une posture de conquête.J'ai questionné Marc sur l'avenir, sur l'écologie, sur le désintérêt des élites pour le bien commun. C'est un épisode dense, intense, mais nécessaire. Parce que les élections approchent, parce que le choix de nos dirigeants ne peut plus être pris à la légère, parce qu'on a besoin de comprendre ce qu'on vit pour pouvoir y faire face.Merci Marc pour ta clarté, ton engagement, et ta capacité à mettre des mots justes sur des phénomènes complexes.5 citations marquantes« Ce n'est pas le pouvoir qui pervertit, ce sont les pervers qui sont attirés par le pouvoir. »« Macron fait exactement l'inverse de tout ce qu'il dit. »« La pensée perverse au pouvoir, c'est une stratégie de domination fondée sur le déni. »« Le pervers narcissique séduit pour mieux dominer. »« Ce n'est pas un président, c'est un imposteur habillé d'empathie. »10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewPourquoi avoir choisi d'étudier la perversion narcissique ?Comment passe-t-on de cette étude à un livre sur le pouvoir ?Qu'est-ce que la perversion narcissique selon la définition psychanalytique ?Pourquoi ce terme est-il souvent mal utilisé aujourd'hui ?Macron incarne-t-il cette pensée perverse ?Quelle est la différence entre Macron et Trump dans leur rapport au pouvoir ?Le pouvoir pervertit-il ou attire-t-il les pervers ?Peut-on diagnostiquer quelqu'un à distance ?Quel rôle joue Brigitte Macron dans cette dynamique ?Le système politique français favorise-t-il l'émergence de tels profils ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00 Introduction par Grégory Pouy02:25 Début de l'interview avec Marc Joly04:00 De la perversion narcissique à la pensée au pouvoir07:00 Définition de la perversion narcissique13:00 Le pouvoir attire-t-il les pervers ?20:00 Emmanuel Macron : manipulation et disqualification30:00 Parallèle entre Macron et les relations toxiques45:00 Trump et le narcissisme grandiose56:00 Déni pervers et politique actuelle01:03:00 Le rôle du couple Brigitte-Emmanuel Macron Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #333 Tout comprendre sur l'emprise et les pervers narcissiques avec Anne-Clotilde Ziegler (https://audmns.com/AGugdzB) #314 Sortir du chaos et comprendre ce qui se joue en politique (partie 2) avec Raphael Llorca (https://audmns.com/PrcRrZy) #186 Quel nouveau modèle pour la France avec David Djaiz (https://audmns.com/GSOSydk)Distribué par Audiomeans.

Today I interviewed Jan Borowicz about Perverse Memory and the Holocaust: A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Polish Bystanders (Routledge, 2024). "The assumptions of my book rely on a simple thesis: indifference to violence is impossible and that the primal scene for Polish culture is the experience of Nazism. In Poland we have still a humanitarian crisis by our border. And there is a tiny minority of local and non-local activists who sacrifice themselves and who give help to the people that are dying in the forests, especially during the wintertime. And there are people who live nearby and live day to day-by-day helping the helping the people crossing even and crossing the border and they're harassed and victims of police brutality. And then I had a very strange thought that now I can understand what happened during the during the war and during the Holocaust where exactly this where exactly this happened. And people who deal with Holocaust history and Holocaust memory had the same association, same analogy, that this is somehow and gruesomely very, very similar. And it struck me, the thought that now I understand because as if I was not entirely sure or not entirely certain if I believed it and in the first place. My book is about denial and disavowal. Knowing something and not knowing at the same time." – Jan Borowicz from the interview Learn more about your ad choices.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic weaknesses in our disaster preparedness infrastructure. Despite prior warnings, politics and apathy nurtured a response system that prioritized appearances—e.g., a national stockpile of rotting N-95 masks—over effective interventions. Perverse incentives encouraged officials to drag their feet when time was short, a failure leading to poor coordination and resource allocation that couldn't counter a global viral threat. We desperately need reforms that will work with human nature during a disaster instead of against it. What do those look like? Let's dive in.

Michael joins me to talk about some of the core dysfunctions of our union, and how we think they can be fixed.

"What they're saying is we're going to set your house on fire and we're also going to close all the doors because you cannot leave this hell that we're going to create for you." The US' perverse Venezuela policy is attempting to destroy the country's economy while also denying any opportunity for Venezuelan migrants to escape the very conditions sanctions have created. In this latest episode writer Andreína Chávez joins host Jose Luis Granados Ceja to discuss the Trump administration's brutal crack down on migrants and how it intersects with US regime change efforts.

Episode 2539: Keith R Wilson explores the unseen influence of politically non-engaged individuals, likening their silence to a form of participation that can be just as powerful - and disruptive - as overt activism. Through vivid analogies from marriage counseling and social behavior, he reveals how disengagement is often a mask for resistance, burnout, or strategic timing. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://keithrwilson.medium.com/a-more-perfect-union-part-ii-the-perverse-power-of-the-non-engaged-947273b39829 Quotes to ponder: "You are political even when you don't mean to be."

Just one week after trashing Oprah for cheating in arm wrestling against her 25 years ago, Roseanne is faced with the horrendous realization that what she accused Oprah of doing was what she, Roseanne, actually did. After watching the original video to expose Oprah- Roseanne realized it was actually herself that cheated all those years ago.  But, instead of hiding from It she faces up to her mistake and apologizes to Oprah directly in this episode - just minutes before calling Sharon Stone a c*nt. Two steps forward- one step back. That is why we love Roseanne! video mentioned by Roseanne: https://youtu.be/luxlHQmA1Ow ------------------------------------------------ Sponsored By: Better sleep has NEVER tasted better!
