German political scientist, author and climate activist Tadzio Müller is pretty dark. But even he's having trouble coping with the news. So he's reading dystopian climate fiction, because it's less depressing. Most recently, friend-of-the-show Stephen Markley's The Deluge.Given the week that's in it we of course had to talk about the wildfires but also the rise of Alice Weidel and Tadzio decoding her “Windmills of Shame” comment, which to a non-German just sounds like Trump with better writing but to this German sounds a lot more purposeful and sinister. Tadzio argues it would be a mistake to ignore the fact that there is a coherent political strategy at work behind those kind of daft-sounding comments that fly in the face of supposedly overwhelming support for climate solutions whether they're from AfD, Donald Trump, or Nigel Farage.Tadzio has his own book out - available later this spring in English - the rough translation of the title is Between Peaceful Sabotage and Collapse: How I Learned to Love the Future Again. But don't wait - after you listen or watch this third chat between your friendly neighbourhood neoliberal shill here and this German gay communist being far more articulate in English than the native speaker, subscribe to his “Peaceful Sabotage” newsletter to get a sense. Unlike the grumpier, earnest end of the climate movement, the great thing about Tadzio is that he (despite being as prone to depression as I am) is just so damned funny. But we did our best to keep him honest - despite the fact that when we first spoke a year ago we both made some predictions about 2024. If anything, his dark foreboding low-balled how bad the year would be. In 2025 I think we're probably more in sync. And careful listeners will hear him trail “Collapse Camp” - a successor to “climate camp” - which will be apparently a mini-festival at the end of August where you can share bushcraft and other survival tips for coming climate catastrophes while also doing the things festivals are generally known for. We'll keep you informed.

What are their strengths and weaknesses? And what is the future - not just of the Conservative party - but the right more broadly? Now out of politics, Michael Gove also discusses his new role as editor of The Spectator magazine, why he'd vote for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump and why he'd vote against changing the law on assisted dying in the UK.If you have a question you'd like Amol and Nick to answer, get in touch by sending us a message or voice note on WhatsApp to +44 330 123 4346 or send an email to today@bbc.co.uk.The Today Podcast is hosted by Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson, both presenters of BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Kaka Balli Punjabi Podcast, where we dive deep into some of the most critical issues affecting the world today. This episode explores the changing dynamics of family, immigration, political landscapes, education, and spiritual values, not just in Punjab, but across the globe. Each topic is discussed with nuance, offering unique insights that challenge conventional thinking. Let's break it down:
Hawk sits down with Texas Trey, a reformed Republican who traded his MAGA hat for a Biden button faster than you can say "covfefe." Trey spills the beans on his journey from religious conservative to lefty liberal, proving that miracles do happen - even in the heart of Texas. Along the way, we learn that growing up in small-town Texas is basically like living in a country song, minus the pickup truck and dog (maybe).Our dynamic duo dives deep into the psyche of Trump supporters, citing their make up of everything from evangelical Christians to that one guy at the party who won't shut up about CrossFit. They ponder why billionaires can't just be happy counting their money on a beach somewhere, instead of trying to control elections and launch themselves into space. Spoiler alert: it's probably because their gold-plated toilets are just too darn comfortable.As the conversation wraps up, Hawk and Trey reminisce about the good old days when politics was boring and the biggest controversy was whether New Coke was actually better than the original. All while realizing that things were better simply because they are both white men. Check your privilege when talking about when things were "easier" because for many things were in fact worse. They conclude that while they may not be able to change the minds of hardcore MAGA fans, they can at least laugh about it - and remind everyone to check their voter registration more often than they check their Instagram likes. Because nothing says "democracy" like obsessively refreshing a government website to see if the Republicans have voided your voter registration simply because you don't vote for them, right?Texas Trey Socials:YouTube: @TheTexasTreyTikTok: tiktok.com/@texastreyX: x.com/thetexastreyAtlantic Article: The Cruelty is the Pointhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/the-cruelty-is-the-point/572104/ SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

This week I step out of my comfort zone a bit for a fun conversation with Scott M. Coley. Coley's new book, "Ministers of Propaganda: Truth, Power, and the Ideology of the Religious Right" takes a deep dive into the fusion of Evangelicalism and Right-Wing Politics. We take a look at the rhetoric and proof-texting that support Christo-authoritarianism and presses Christian theology into the service of authoritarian politics. The Christian message is being distorted by propaganda together with motivated reasoning and a perceived self-interest. I had a good time talking with Scott and I really enjoyed reading his book.

In part 3 of this series, Hawk continues his deep dive into the ideology of White Christian Nationalism in the United States. He defines it as a political movement that exploits religion for political gain, driven by well-funded elites rather than a grassroots effort. At its core is the belief that America was founded as a Christian nation for white Europeans, and that laws should be based on the Bible to maintain the power and control of straight, white, Christian men over other groups. Hawk highlights how organizations promoting this ideology rewrite history and create alternative "patriot" materials reframing the origins of America through their racist lens.Hawk draws from interviews and books analyzing data and surveys of white Christian nationalist supporters. A striking contrast emerged - white respondents viewed America as a nostalgic return to an authoritarian, segregated past, while Black Christian respondents saw it more aspirationally, as a nation striving to uphold its ideals of equality. Hawk exposes the "holy trinity" underpinning their beliefs of freedom for themselves, order imposed on others, and the embrace of violence through unrestricted gun rights to dominate over minority groups.The ultimate goal, according to Hawk's research, is for white Christian nationalists to control all levers of government after a potential Trump re-election in 2024. This would enable them to remake America as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist society led by straight white men, revoking rights from those deemed insufficiently Christian, non-white, LGBTQ or female. Hawk warns this anti-democratic movement represents an existential threat to American pluralism and freedoms.

In Part 2 on White Christian Nationalism, Hawk delves into the disconnect between its principles and the teachings of Jesus Christ. He discusses the dominance and control mentality prevalent among white Christian nationalists, attributing it to underlying psychological issues such as insecurity, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Hawk explores the Seven Mountain Mandate, a dominionist movement within evangelical Christianity that seeks to control various spheres of society, and criticizes its absurdity and lack of alignment with Christian values.Hawk becomes increasingly incredulous at the actions and beliefs of white Christian nationalists, particularly in their political influence and policy decisions. He highlights the hypocrisy of their actions, pointing out how their policies often contradict the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially regarding issues like poverty, immigration, and compassion for others. Despite quoting biblical passages that advocate for compassion and justice towards foreigners, Hawk laments the disconnect between these teachings and the actions of white Christian nationalists in positions of power.Throughout the episode, he grapples with the absurdity and frustration of white Christian nationalism, questioning its motivations and implications for society. He emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and compassion, urging listeners to reflect on the true teachings of Jesus Christ and to challenge ideologies that promote dominance and discrimination.

In this episode, political scientist Dr. Pavithra Suryanarayan talks to us about understanding how the Brahmin elite 'hollowed out' state capacity in colonial India, and why Indians vote to protect status interests.‘In Perspective' is The Swaddle's podcast series where academics reveal little-known facts about Indian history, society and culture. Notes: 00:00:53:03- What is ‘state capacity?' What does it mean to hollow out state capacity? 00:05:33:02- How did the Brahmin elite hollow out the bureaucracy in the Bombay and Madras Presidencies at the time the Indian state was being democratised? 00:10:48:07- How does this play out in India even today?00:13:26:14- What makes right-wing political parties popular among the poor?00:18:21:16- What role does people's income play in voter turnout in India?00:19:54:23- Why are caste and class so relevant when it comes to voting and politics in India?00:22:53:17- Why does India see a huge proliferation of various political parties across states? 00:27:55:02- In the recent 2021 West Bengal elections, almost all news sites' pre-poll data predicted that the BJP would win, which turned out to be wrong when the All India Trinamool Congress won by a landslide. Where does the mismatch between voters' attitudes and perceptions of the media come from?

Trump Posts Article Urging Him to Ditch GOP, Run as Third-Party Candidate If Donald Trump doesn't emerge as the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nominee, he just might try to go it alone. On Wednesday, the former president posted an article titled, “The Coming Split” to his Truth Social account. The piece argues that if the Republican establishment opts against Trump as its 2024 nominee, then he should run as a third-party candidate. “The Republican machine has no intention of letting us choose Trump again: He is not a uniparty team player,” the article's author, Dan Gelernter, wrote. “They'd rather lose...

The world ahead 2023: Global order continues to reshape Opinion During the post-World War II period, we had a relatively stable world order. Then came the bipolar world with the Cold War between the two poles. With the disappearance of one of the poles – when the Soviet Union disintegrated into 15 states in the early 1990s – the world began to be perceived as a unipolar world. However, this idea was challenged from the beginning, and now it appears that we are far from a unipolar world. In the 1990s, liberal ideas were also popular. With the demise of... View Article

Canada is over-governed, overtaxed and overregulated I've often said that if you run a factory, it doesn't matter how productive the employees on the factory floor are if there are too many people working in administration. The business will simply not be competitive. The same holds true for a country. In today's highly competitive global economic environment, it's not just businesses that need to become more efficient — so do governments. We have too much government bureaucracy and overhead, and we're paying for that overhead through very high rates of taxation. That makes us increasingly uncompetitive on a global scale...

The cost of affordable housing: Does it pencil out? There is not enough affordable housing in the United States.

I Had to Use Martial Law to Suppress Freedom Convoy Because “What If Someone Had Gotten Hurt”? Seven police officers were injured after BLM riots in Toronto. A totalitarian clown doesn't stop being a clown just because he's also a totalitarian. As the investigation delves into Trudeau's illegal decision to ruthlessly suppress the Freedom Convoy protests, the investigation turned up extraordinary coordination and pressure from the Biden administration. Meanwhile Trudeau's defense of ruthlessly suppressing a peaceful protest is, literally, “What if someone had gotten hurt?” Not someone got hurt. What if someone had gotten hurt. This isn't even, “We had... View Article

The election of Donald Trump and the siege of the US Capitol on Jan. 6 made clear the rising political power of the right in America, but this is not an isolated phenomenon—right-wing power is surging across the globe. From India, Brazil, and the Philippines, to Hungary and the US, we find right-wing political movements that are challenging the established order and that are fueled by anti-immigration mania, racism, patriarchy, historical nostalgia, as well as the destruction wrought by colonialism, the fall of Leninist states, and the failure of modern capitalism to meet the needs of masses of people. How are these manifestations of far-right politics similar to one another, where do they differ, and how do we fight against them?In this special series of The Marc Steiner Show, co-hosted by Marc Steiner and Bill Fletcher Jr., we will examine the rise of the right in the US and beyond, we will explore the different tendencies and motivations fueling today's surge in far-right politics, and we will engage with a range of critical voices who can help us understand how we got here and what we can do about it. In Episode Four of “Rise of the Right,” Marc and Bill are joined by Kristóf Szombati, Sadia Abbas, and Dimitri Lascaris to discuss the international dimensions and connections between far-right movements around the globe in the 21st century.Kristóf Szombati is a research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle, Germany, and the author of The Revolt of the Provinces: Anti-Gypsyism and Right-Wing Politics in Hungary. Sadia Abbas is an associate professor of postcolonial studies in the Department of English at Rutgers University-Newark, where she is also the director of the Center for European Studies; she is the author of At Freedom's Limit: Islam and the Postcolonial Predicament and the novel The Empty Room. Dimitri Lascaris is a lawyer, journalist, and activist, and was a candidate in the last federal Green Party leadership race in Canada, finishing second with just over 10,000 votes.
