Traian grew up in Romania during the tumultuous 1980s under the shadow of the communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu. We learn about the harsh realities of life under communism, where shortages of basic goods were commonplace. He shares the clever tactics he and his family employed to navigate these challenges, including trading items with tourists and listening to forbidden radio stations like Radio Free Europe for music and news. These experiences shaped his understanding of the world outside Romania, igniting a desire for freedom and change. The narrative takes a dramatic turn as the Romanian revolution unfolds in December 1989. Traian recounts the fear and uncertainty that gripped the nation as protests erupted, leading to the eventual overthrow of Ceaușescu. He vividly describes his school trip during this pivotal moment and the surreal experience of returning home to a city forever changed by the events of those days.

La voix de l'Amérique va-t-elle être réduite au silence ou instrumentalisée par des médias complotistes proches de la sphère Trump ? La diffusion de la radio VOA a été suspendue par les autorités, le 15 mars 2025, et les contrats de certains collaborateurs pourraient prendre fin dans quelques jours. L'inquiétude est palpable, chez les 1 400 employés et contractuels de Voice of America. Le démantèlement de VOA constituerait un recul important de la liberté de la presse dans le monde.  Les ultra-conservateurs américains sont-ils en train de transformer les médias publics en instrument de propagande à leur profit ? Il s'agit d'une dérive autoritaire au détriment de la liberté d'informer, estime Maud Quessard, directrice du domaine « Europe, espace transatlantique, Russie » à l'Institut de recherche stratégique de l'École militaire (Irsem) :« L'objectif premier de VOA était de lutter contre l'appareil de propagande de l'Allemagne Nazie, en 1942, par la suite, la radio va connaitre un regain d'intérêt au moment de la guerre froide, en devenant la voix du monde libre, au-delà du rideau de fer », explique-t-elle. Ces dernières années, ces médias ont notamment été employés pour documenter la guerre en Ukraine après l'invasion de la Russie. « Les premières images du conflit en Ukraine sont tournées par des équipes de Radio Free Europe et Radio Liberty », rappelle cette spécialiste de la diplomatie publique des États-Unis.Ces chaînes font partie d'un large consortium qui regroupe les médias publics américains sous la désignation U.S Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Maud Quessard souligne que « ces médias peuvent aussi financer des journalistes locaux, qui sont souvent des journalistes qui travaillent pour maintenir un certain pluralisme et donc lutter contre la parole officielle dans des régimes autocratiques ».« L'enjeu ici est celui de la liberté de la presse aux États-Unis »Par le passé, les républicains ne se sont jamais attaqués aux médias publics à destination de l'étranger lorsque le pays a connu des alternances politiques. On est de ce fait entré dans une nouvelle dimension avec la politique conduite par l'équipe Trump. Cela étant, il y a des gardes fous. « Ces médias publics à destination de l'étranger sont financés par le congrès, et leur ligne éditoriale doit être autonome, donc l'enjeu ici est celui de la liberté de la presse aux États-Unis, nous sommes face à une politisation de l'appareil d'État, mais il ne parait pas faisable que le congrès laisse confisquer par l'exécutif un média public comme Voice of America. On serait alors confronté à une dérive très importante du pouvoir de Donald Trump », conclut-elle. La désinformation au cœur des tensions entre l'Inde et le PakistanAprès une escalade militaire ayant provoqué la mort de plus de 70 personnes, l'Inde et le Pakistan ont convenu d'un accord de cessez-le-feu le samedi 10 mai 2025. Si les armes se sont tues, la guerre de l'information, elle, se poursuit entre New Delhi et Islamabad.

PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, May 15: We look at a crucial court ruling in EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's "Pfizergate" scandal. But first, Hungary's government examines a bill that would allow it to shut down media or NGOs considered a threat to national security. Plus, Australian researchers find that Barbie's feet have become flatter over time and it's linked to her growing independence! The Hungarian government is considering an extremely repressive law. There seems to be little interest in the main Hungarian newspapers – except in Telex, one of the last independent news sites in the country. And for good reason: the government is mulling a law that would allow it to monitor, penalise and possibly shut down all independent media and NGOs deemed a threat to national sovereignty. In other words, as Telex notes wryly, the Fidesz party's new bill is similar to the one that has served Russian President Vladimir Putin well in building a dictatorship. Radio Free Europe notes that this bill follows a series of similar repressive moves in the country. In March, Prime Minister Viktor Orban cracked down on journalists and politicians who receive foreign funding. Last month, a constitutional amendment banned public displays of homosexuality and gender diversity, while allowing police to use facial recognition technology. The timing of this bill is particularly interesting. As the Guardian notes, Orban's bill is a move to crack down on dissent ahead of elections in Hungary next year. It comes amid the rising popularity of the Tisza party, headed by Orban's former ally Peter Magyar, who could pose an unprecedented challenge.Staying in Europe, a tribunal has handed down a verdict against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the Pfizergate scandal. French paper Libération takes us through the scandal, which came to light in 2021 after The New York Times published an article about the negotiations of the biggest ever EU vaccine contract with Pfizer. During the first few months of 2021, von der Leyen exchanged several SMS with Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, in the negotiation of a multi-billion-euro contract for Covid vaccines. For its article about the negotiations, The New York Times made an official request for the SMS, but the EU Commission denied the request. It offered various unclear explanations, saying the messages had the disappearing message function or were deleted. The EU's general court ruled yesterday that von der Leyen failed in her obligation to be transparent. As Politico notes, it raises very interesting issues about the legitimacy of SMS and WhatsApp messages as official documents. The judge's "bombshell ruling", as Politico puts it, indicates that the Commission was wrong to deny access to the messages. The Commission says the messages were too boring to count as documents. The judgment suggests that text messages should be considered official documents, but it's not at all binding. Public access to officials' SMS will mostly likely continue to not be granted freely.Finally, we discover a fascinating study led by Australian researchers about Barbie's feet! According to The Conversation, Australian podiatrists were particularly interested in Barbie's feet after a memorable scene from the 2023 film. They decided to study the shape of her feet from 1959 to 2024 – that's 2,750 Barbies in total. What they found is fascinating: basically Barbie's high-heeled feet became flatter over the decades, something that appears to mirror broader societal changes. Barbie ditched her high-heeled posture the more she climbed the career ladder. In the 1960s, you only had tip-toed Barbies. By the 2020s, only about 40 percent wore heels. As Barbie became more diverse and inclusive, but also more athletic and representative in male-dominated fields, her feet flattened. It suggests a correlation between flat-footed Barbie and her emancipation from societal constraints!You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Season Two of On the Media's Peabody-winning series The Divided Dial is the untold story of shortwave radio: the way-less-listened to but way-farther-reaching cousin of AM and FM radio. The medium was once heralded as a utopian, international, and instantaneous mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet. But like the internet, it also took a turn for the chaotic. And like AM and FM talk radio, it also went hard to the right, with extremists and cults still finding a home on the shortwaves EPISODE 1:You know AM and FM radio. But did you know that there is a whole other world of radio surrounding us at all times? It's called shortwave — and, thanks to a quirk of science that lets broadcasters bounce radio waves off of the ionosphere, it can reach thousands of miles, penetrating rough terrain and geopolitical boundaries. How did this instantaneous, global, mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet — go from a utopian experiment in international connection to a hardened tool of information warfare and propaganda?  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

On today's episode, we break down how Radio Free Europe just might be the key to preserving the separation of powers in America. We talk the Tucker Act and all of the pretextual, vapid, and/or just plain wrong arguments coming out of Trump's Department of Justice. Perkins Coie wins their case in front of Our Favorite Beryl, a dingus is trying to sue Chief Justice John Roberts, and Maine's Governor Janet Mills promised the President she'd see him in court. Four days later, the administration caved, meaning Maine kids will get to eat their school lunches after all.    Links: Trump Admin Unveils Exciting Plan To Magic Away Impoundment Lawsuits https://www.lawandchaospod.com/p/trump-admin-unveils-exciting-plan   RFE/RL v.

04-21-2025 Tariffs Create Confusion For "Radio Free Europe"------------------------Tariffs on in transit. Tariffs out in transit. How do we Free Europe? Where to go?Event risk remains high, but implied volatility did slip for Easter. With the bulls and bears in a stalemate like Trump and Xi, will the bearish long-end pull mortgage rates up, or will the bullish 5-year and short-end push rates down?Amid confusion and noise over tariffs, will bewilderment continue to reign? Expect April showers to bring beautiful news that trumps the stormy narrative.Barrier Free EuropeBarrier Free Europe------------------------Song: Radio Free Europe (1981) R.E.M.

The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine?  This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended.  In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference.  Thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon live-taping with Patrick Guarasci and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisors for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Rother, Frederik www.deutschlandfunk.de, Europa heute

This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines for decades fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended.  In part one of their discussion, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference. In part two, they discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. A big thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon hosted by our Security Committee, which shared valuable insights on protecting our digital worlds in these dystopian times. The recording will be available soon on Patreon. Our next salon is Monday, April 14 at 4pm ET, featuring Patrick Guarasci, chief political strategist for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their campaign's victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Jeremi and Zachary have a conversation with Dr. Mark Pomar on the historical impact of Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and Radio Liberty’s critical role of radio communications during the Cold War, and the challenges they face today including the recent threats to their operation. Zachary sets the scene with his poem, “Radio Liberty”. […]

Basée à Prague depuis 30 ans, Radio Free Europe est dans la tourmente ces dernières semaines, Elon Musk et Donald Trump ayant décidé que ce média public américain, tout comme Voice of America, ne devait plus être financé par l'État. Cette radio diffuse dans une trentaine de langues et cible prioritairement des pays où la presse n'est pas libre. Le gouvernement tchèque est rapidement monté au créneau pour défendre cette station et ses journalistes, mais les derniers développements ne sont guère encourageants. Le satellite permettant la transmission de la chaîne de télévision en langue russe de Radio Free Europe en Russie, Current Time, a été éteint jeudi 3 avril par les États-Unis. Propagandiste en chef du Kremlin, Margarita Simonian, directrice du média Russia Today, n'a pas caché sa joie à l'annonce de la fin du financement de Radio Free Europe, allant même jusqu'à parler d'un jour de fête pour la Russie.À Prague, en République Tchèque, l'arrêt des subventions, même s'il est contesté en justice, a pour conséquence la mise au chômage technique d'une partie du personnel. « Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty a une mission très particulière. Nous opérons dans des régions dans lesquelles la liberté de la presse n'est plus autorisée, ou bien est fortement restreinte. Grâce à notre travail, nous sommes devenus une bouée de sauvetage pour les membres de notre audience. Nos auditeurs sont en quête d'informations fiables et précises sur ce qui se passe dans leur propre pays et dans le monde », estime Stephen Capus, son directeur, qui refuse de baisser les bras. L'audience de Radio Free Europe est estimée à 50 millions de personnes par semaine, avec un fort impact également sur les réseaux sociaux. Preuve s'il en fallait que ce média américain, important durant la guerre froide, conserve un certain prestige et une certaine raison d'être, encore aujourd'hui.Le média américain, qui a renouvelé sa rédaction hongroise et qui possède encore des services roumains et bulgares, dérange dans de nombreux pays. Son antenne kirghize, Radio Azattyk, a été interdite par Bichkek en 2023. La documentariste tchèque Veronika Janatková vient de produire un film sur le travail d'un des journalistes de cette antenne. « C'est absolument essentiel, souligne-t-elle. Au Kirghizistan, cette affaire de corruption, qui est au cœur du documentaire, traîne depuis 2019. Mais une enquête journalistique de ce type n'aurait probablement pas été possible là-bas. En 2023, Radio Free Europe/Radio Azattyk, la section kirghize, a déjà été interdite dans le pays. Le fait qu'il ait existé une institution soutenant ce type de recherche et de journalisme en faisait le seul espace où de telles informations pouvaient être publiées. »Le chef de la diplomatie tchèque, Jan Lipavský, a tenté de motiver ses homologues européens à sauver cette radio basée à Prague depuis 30 ans. Mais rien n'est encore acquis pour l'heure, surtout que le budget annuel représenté en 2024 environ 142 millions de dollars.À lire aussiRépublique tchèque: Prague appelle à des discussions au sein de l'UE pour sauver Radio Free Europe

Ytringsfrihed, er det ikke noget, de bare har i USA? Donald Trump gik til valg på at sige, at nej, det har amerikanerne ikke, for de liberale i USA og i Europa undertrykker konservative synspunkter. Og kun han kunne give amerikanerne retten til free speech tilbage. Men efter to måneder med Trump som præsident ser det ud til, at hans ytringsfrihed kun gælder dem, der er enige med ham. Han forsøger systematisk at kue stemmer, der er kritiske, og han forfølger folk, der bruger ord, han ikke kan lide. Han lægger sig ud med medierne, universiteterne, advokatkontorerne og kulturinstitutionerne. Og han gør det med brutale og åbenlyst autokratiske metoder, som ikke er set før i mange årtier i USA. Dagens panel bestående af Jesper Thobo-Carlsen og Simon Lund forklarer, hvordan ytringsfriheden i USA er ved at smuldre. Og får undervejs vendt både George Orwells ikoniske roman ’1984’ og rockbandet R.E.M.’s gennembrudshit ’Radio Free Europe’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Europe is set to spend an eye-wateringly huge amount of money on building up its militaries over the next few years, after That Guy In The White House signalled he's no longer that interested in helping us defend ourselves against Russia. But where is all this money supposed to come from? And does it matter if some countries are more enthusiastic about this plan than others? This week we call defence expert Marina Henke to figure out what this spending bonanza actually involves. We're also talking about a Czech-led plan to save Radio Free Europe from Trump's cuts, and why ChatGPT falsely accused a Norwegian man of murder.   Marina is a professor of international Relations at the Hertie School in Berlin and director of the Centre for International Security.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss today's arrest of an illegal immigrant accused of being a leader of MS-13. Also, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visits the Salvadoran prison where deported alleged Venezuelan gang members are being held to tape a video message discouraging illegal border crossing into the U.S. They also talk about next Tuesday's special election in Florida's sixth district to fill the seat vacated by Mike Walz, President Trump's national security advisor. Plus, PBS President Paula Kerger and NPR President Katherine Maher testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about continuing the $535 million annual federal contribution to public broadcasting. Next, RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann interviews Senator Jeffery Merkley (D-OR) about the use of facial recognition scanning and biometric data gathering by the TSA at U.S. airports, which he contends is creating “an unchecked national surveillance system.” Then finally, Carl Cannon talks to Voice of America Director Michael Abramowitz about the Trump Administrations' decision to withdraw cancellation of Radio Free Europe and the role of public diplomacy in shaping U.S. foreign policy.

CannCon and Ashe in America break down a massive day in political warfare, from Speaker Mike Johnson's not-so-veiled threat to defund or abolish rogue courts to the shocking escalation in SignalGate. They dig into the full Signal thread leak, the classified comms mess, and what it reveals about espionage, infiltration, and how deep the rot really goes. Trump drops two major executive orders, one pardoning Devin Archer and another nuking the lawfare pipeline propping up election fraud. They also torch USAID, Radio Free Europe, abortion mills, and foreign-born judges running D.C. courts like a banana republic. Buckle up. This one goes deep.  

Tom Kent ran Radio Free Europe/Radio Free Asia and is a longtime Russia watcher at the Associated Press. He talks to Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes about President Trump's executive order dismantling Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The U.S. government has announced it will stop funding Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty—a station that once played a vital role in Czechoslovakia's fight for freedom. In the weekend edition of Czechia in 30 minutes, journalist and historian Petr Brod shares personal memories of working at RFE/RL in Munich and later in Prague. From newsroom "tribalism" to the station's mission during the Cold War, Brod offers a rare inside look at one of the most influential broadcasters of the 20th century.

L'administration Trump a entamé le démantèlement des médias publics américains opérant à l'étranger en gelant les budgets de l'agence supervisant Voice of America, Radio Free Europe ou encore Radio Free Asia. Pour comprendre ce que sont ces médias et ce qu'ils représentent, L'atelier des médias reçoit Maud Quessard, directrice de recherche à l'Irsem. Vendredi 14 mars, Donald Trump a signé un décret classant l'Agence des États-Unis pour les médias publics américains diffusant à l'international (USAGM) parmi les « activités inutiles de la bureaucratie ».Derrière ce sigle se trouvent des médias ayant pour nom Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), Radio y Televisión Martí (Cuba) encore Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN).Depuis une semaine, les budgets de l'USAGM sont gelés, et les activités de ses médias, souvent menées dans des zones de tension à travers le monde, sont réduites au strict minimum ou purement et simplement arrêtées.Que représentent les médias supervisés par l'USAGM ? Quel symbole revêt la suspension de leurs activités pour le soft power médiatique américain ? Quels peuvent être les impacts de leur éventuelle disparition pour la liberté de la presse dans le monde ? Ce sont des questions que L'atelier des médias a posé à Maud Quessard, directrice du domaine « Europe, espace transatlantique, Russie » à l'Institut de recherche stratégique de l'École militaire (Irsem), à Paris, spécialiste de la diplomatie publique des États-Unis.Extrait choisi : « Je pense qu'on est effectivement dans une disruption. Je parle peut-être plus même de schisme idéologique dans la mesure où ces attaques qui sont faites sur ces bastions médiatiques du monde libre créent un renversement des valeurs. Exactement comme on a pu avoir un renversement des valeurs avec le discours porté par JD Vance en Europe à Munich. Et ce renversement des valeurs, ce n'est plus finalement le fait que les États-Unis soient un espace informationnel libre et démocratique comme on a pu le connaître, mais un espace qui se ferme sur un modèle qui s'approche de plus en plus d'un modèle autoritaire, et c'est ce qui est particulièrement inquiétant. »Maud Quessard est l'autrice de Stratégies d'influence et guerres de l'information – Propagande et diplomatie publique des États-Unis depuis la guerre froide (Presses universitaires de Rennes, 2019) ou encore de l'ouvrage collectif Les guerres de l'information à l'ère numérique (PUF, 2021), codirigé avec Céline Marangé.À écouter aussiSuppression de Voice of America: «L'Amérique va devenir inaudible» (Invité Afrique)

Plus, a Radio Free Europe journalist describes being detained for nine months in Russia until she was released alongside Evan Gershkovich.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Nicole Hemmer, political historian and co-host of the podcast “This Day.” They discuss the complicated history of Voice of America, which was founded in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda. Plus, what the funding cuts to VOA and its parent organization tell us about how the Trump administration wants the U.S. to be perceived.[15:57] Host Micah Loewinger sits down with Alsu Kurmasheva, press freedom advocate and veteran journalist of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Tatar-Bashkir service, on what the network provides in countries lacking a free press and her own nine month detention in Russia. Plus, Bay Fang, president of Radio Free Asia, or RFA, on why authoritarians are celebrating Trump's shutdown and how RFA's closure will further diminish press freedom in Asia. [33:35] Host Brooke Gladstone chats with Dorian Lynskey, cultural journalist and author of the recent book, Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World, to examine our centuries-long obsession with telling end-of-the-world stories and what they reveal about our shifting fears through history.

Volkswagen's subsidiary Audi brand said this week that it is examining various long-term strategies, including potentially shifting production to America, to deal with President Donald Trump's restrictions on foreign imports. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said that the company is “currently assessing various scenarios for additional localization in North America – among other things, to be closer to the needs of local customers and to make ourselves more resilient to global economic uncertainties.”Although no firm decision was made this week, the German auto giant said that it would be announcing later this year where it intends to produce its primary vehicle models for the American market.

The CIA were controlling mass media and were controlling groups like the Black Panthers to conduct protests. Kinda sounds similar to BLM doesn't it? Then President JFK shows up to the briefing, and suggests that CIA covert action programs are outside the scope of the CIA's supposed primary intelligence gathering mission, and was not worth the taxpayer money. This is why the CIA didn't like JFK. He was onto their schemes, and was trying to shut them down.   I thought they were only allowed to work on foreign issues?

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss President Trump's orders to deport 137 alleged Venezuelan gang members, as well as the deportation of a Lebanese doctor with an H1B visa and a teaching position at Brown University. Is the clash between the courts and the White House on immigration policy coming to a head? They also talk about Donald Trump's social media post challenging the legitimacy of Joe Biden's pardons because they were signed by autopen. Plus, the cold war between the press and the White House continues at the Gridiron Dinner this past weekend and the upcoming White House Correspondents Dinner, two signature spring social events for the Washington press. Next, Andrew Walworth interviews Jeffrey Gedmin, president and CEO of the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, on this weekend's executive order cutting support for the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other public diplomacy organizations funded by the US government. And finally, Tom Bevan interviews Nicole Russell, columnist for USA Today, about the state of the US economy. She argues that inflation will cool, interest rates will drop and consumer confidence will return, all as a result of Trump's policies.

In this episode, I sit down with John O'Sullivan, a former policy and speech writer for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and former editor-in-chief of National Review and executive editor of Radio Free Europe. Today, he's the president of the Danube Institute, a Hungary-based think-tank.A “unified national identity is an absolute essential for a successful democracy,” he says. “If we continue on a multicultural path, it's a path which is going to go in the directions of ever more aggressive and hostile identity politics, and people will feel that their neighbors are their enemies.”O'Sullivan's latest book is titled: “Sleepwalking into Wokeness: How We Got Here.”“The idea of post-nationalism is unachievable if you're a state. You don't remain just a post-national state, what you become is something else,” he says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
