Podcasts about Secession

What happens when a former military cop, existentialist philosopher, and Substack firebrand walks into a podcast? You get this riveting conversation between Corey and Christopher Armitage, who pulls no punches when it comes to democracy, resistance, and why “soft secession” might be the only sane response to creeping authoritarianism. Chris is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, prolific writer, and founder of The Existentialist Republic. From his early days in New Jersey wrestling circles to his transformation into an outspoken advocate for “soft secession,” Chris shares deeply personal reflections and bold policy ideas aimed at confronting rising authoritarianism in America. Through a mix of dark humor, philosophical grounding, and actionable insights, Chris breaks down: What “soft secession” really means (hint: it's not Civil War 2.0), How localism and economic independence can fortify democracy, What ICE agents, serotonin, and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common, And why writing with relentless truth might be the ultimate form of resistance. This isn't just another political chat—it's a defibrillator for the democratic spirit. ⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics [00:00] Welcome & Chris's multi-faceted background [00:04] Jersey roots, high school wrestling, and joining the Air Force [00:07] Serving as military police & navigating mental health in public service [00:13] From law enforcement to Substack: becoming a full-time writer [00:16] On Project 2025, ICE, authoritarianism, and systemic corruption [00:24] What is “soft secession” and why does it matter now?

When Mallory Peterson discovered she had Scottish ancestry instead of Cherokee heritage, she uncovered something intriguing that has captured her imagination. In the little town of Martinsburg, West Virginia she found a spy. And not just any spy but 17 year old Belle Boyd, the infamous Confederate spy known as "Cleopatra of the Secession."In this episode, I sit down with Mallory, a young genealogist whose complicated family story—raised by grandparents, not meeting her biological father until 14—fueled her passion for discovering the ancestors she never knew. Her journey into her family tree uncovered the migration patterns of her Scottish forebears, those rebellious, storytelling souls who settled in the Appalachian Mountains and brought their fierce independence with them.Together, we explore how Belle Boyd's story reveals the Scottish tendency toward stubborn conviction, the complicated legacy of being on the wrong side of history, and why some ancestors capture our imagination despite their flaws. From Civil War espionage to stage performances reliving her "glory days," Belle's life demonstrates that family history isn't always comfortable but it's always worth discovering.What stories of courage, rebellion, or notoriety might be hiding in your family tree?〰️

Calls for a “national divorce” have been increasing, with a new poll showing almost two-thirds think we're too divided to solve our country's problems. We'll spend some time with political scientist Ryan Griffiths, Professor of political science at Syracuse University and author of The Disunited States: Threats of Secession in Red and Blue America and Why They Won't Work.

June Crespo's sculptural assemblages, which the artist understands as communicating vessels, resonate within our bodies. At times delicate, at others forceful, they always emanate a vital, living quality. Listen to the artist talk about her inspirations and working process. This episode was recorded on 12 September 2025, the day after the opening of the exhibition: June Crespo Danzante 12.9. – 16.11.2025 Most of the works in the exhibition Danzante take their formal vocabulary from the iris and the strelitzia (bird of paradise). Yet the artist is not concerned with representing these plants. Instead of proposing a classificatory symbolic order, they serve as starting points for a deeper engagement with materiality and the evocative potential of surfaces and textures, which take precedence over the pictorial dimension. Crespo treats her materials as agents, understanding herself an assistant to her work rather than an authority figure. In this way, she offers us a visceral experience – an encounter with objects that touch us in our corporeality and heighten our awareness of our own presence and its fragmented condition. More June Crespo (Pamplona1982) lives and works in Bilbao. Obtained her BFA from the Basque Country university (Bilbao) in 2005 and completed a two years residency at De Ateliers (Amsterdam) in 2017. Her solo shows include: Solar (2025), at Ehrhardt Flórez gallery, Madrid. Their weft, the grass (2024) at 1646.nl, The Hague; Vascular (2024) at Guggenheim Bilbao Museum; they saw their house turn into fields (2023) at CA2M, Madrid; Acts of Pulse (2022) at P420, Bologna; entre alguien y algo (2022) at CarrerasMugica, Bilbao; Am I an Object (2021) PA///KT (Amsterdam); Helmets (2020) Artium, Vitoria-Gasteiz. Recently her work has also been shown in group such as: L´écorce (2023) at CRAC-Alsace; The Milk of Dreams (2022) at Venice Biennale; Fata Morgana (2022) Jeu de Paume (Paris) and The point of Sculpture (2021) at Fundación Miró (Barcelona). Since 2008, Bettina Spörr is a curator at the Secession, where she engages in close collaboration with artists to conceptualise and realise exhibitions that explore the profound impact of contemporary art on society. Throughout her career, she has worked with numerous artists on solo exhibitions and, in 2010, curated the group show where do we go from here? at the Secession.

Ryan Griffiths, a political scientist at Syracuse University, talks about his new book, "The Disunited States: Threats of Secession in Red and Blue America and Why They Won't Work".

Listen to John Smith talk about his most ordinary name and how that possibly has more impact on his work than you'd think; how this inspired him to make the (autofictional) film Being John Smith (2024), one of three films in his Secession show; about the power of language, used both as voice-over and caption, over imagery; and about bad puns. This episode was recorded on 11 September 2025, shortly before the opening of John's exhibition: John Smith Being John Smith 12.9. – 16.11.2025 In the mid-1970s, John Smith shared the widespread interest in challenging the illusionism of mainstream cinema and subverting apparent divisions between abstraction and representation, between the personal and the political. He did so alongside colleagues from the Royal College of Art, where he trained, and members of the London Film-Makers' Co-operative. From the beginning, he was also fascinated by the capacity of sound – especially of the spoken word – to shape perception or conjure images. Smith handles image, sound, and text flexibly: instead of synchronizing them, he works with interruptions and disruptions – and a lot of black screen in between. He explains: ‘I'm not afraid of having darkness in films because that's where the imagination works. I really love sound and darkness.' More Since 1972, John Smith has made over sixty film, video and installation works that have been shown in museums, art galleries and independent cinemas around the world and awarded major prizes at many international film festivals. Retrospectives of his films have been presented at film festivals in sixteen countries. He received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Artists in 2011, and in 2013 he was the winner of the UK's Jarman Award. www.johnsmithfilms.com   Jeanette Pacher is a curator at the Vienna Secession since 2007.

 Blue States Begin Secession, LA County Declares Emergency To Protect Illegals, Top Dems Call For Military To Stage Coup Against Trump! The Second Civil War Has Begun! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY

This episode is a conversation between architect and Atelier Bow-Wow-founding-member Momoyo Kiajima and curator Haris Giannouras. It was recorded right after the opening of the exhibition Suturing Together by Atelier Bow-Wow on 12 September 2025. Their discussion focuses on care work in architecture, books and their forms in designing and understanding the build environment, 1980s Japanese comedy shows, Sutemi Horiguchi, and the importance of love in building someone's home. Atelier Bow-Wow Suturing Together 12.9. – 16.11.2025 The exhibition Suturing Together includes a site-specific intervention covering almost the entire right arch of the Secession's foyer, an extended archive showing the studio's practice spanning over the last 30 years, a thatch-seating made using thatch in collaboration with students from Vienna and a poster with detailed essays and an analytical index of Atelier Bow-Wow's past projects. Exploring material networks, supply chains and ad hoc architecture, the term “Suturing” becomes a stand-in for the studio's synergetic approach: piecing together things that have been torn up, forms, communities, histories and memories. This episode was recorded on 12 September 2025 at the Secession. Atelier Bow-Wow, based in Tokyo, was founded in 1992 by Momoyo Kaijima and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto. Yoichi Tamai was appointed partner in 2015. Atelier Bow-Wow is an acclaimed international practice with an extensive portfolio of work as well as exhibitions and publications. The firm's projects range from residential buildings to public spaces and are characterized by a commitment to sustainability, social impact, and an understanding of human behavior in the built environment. Tsukamoto and Kaijima received the RIBA International Fellowship in 2012 and the Wolf Prize in Architecture in 2022. Atelier Bow-Wow is the 2024– 2026 Rothwell Co-Chair at the University of Sydney. Momoyo Kaijima has been serving as professor of architectural behaviorology at ETH, Zurich, since 2017 and vice president of the NPO Cheer Art, where she became president in 2024. She also taught as a visiting professor at the Department of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2003 and 2016, as well as at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2011–2012, at Rice University in 2014–2015, at Columbia University in 2017, and at the Yale School of Architecture in 2023. In 2018, she was the curator of Japanese pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. In 2024, she was appointed to the planning and management committee of TOTO Gallery·Ma and made a member of the Berlin Academy of Arts. Haris Giannouras works with artists to make exhibitions, artworks, publications and events. He is currently a curator at the Secession in Vienna. Before that he worked at MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST in Frankfurt and Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach. Recent projects include work with Studio for Propositional Cinema, Cana Bilir-Meier, Atelier Bow-Wow, Andrea Büttner, Jamie Crewe, Beatrice Gibson, Onyeka Igwe, Eleanor Ivory Weber, Hiwa K, Ghislaine Leung, Lin & Lam, Duane Linklater, Karī Mugo, Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press, and the Estate of Suzan Pitt.

So says Mother Jones. California has to go. Who am I to argue?https://mcclanahanacademy.comhttps://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshowhttps://brionmcclanahan.com/supporthttp://learntruehistory.com

California has a massive economy, the power of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and we grow much of the nation's food. As the Trump administration targets the state with federal cuts, ICE raids, and the deployment of the National Guard, some are asking: How could California—and other blue states—use their considerable power? Could there be a kind of “soft secession” from the federal government? We'll talk about the possible paths for blue-state resistance.

Anlässlich seiner Einzelausstellung Shh, die im September 2025 im mumok eröffnet wird, spricht die Kunsthistorikerin Sophia Roxane Rohwetter mit dem Künstler Tobias Pils. Sie unterhalten sich über die Entstehung der Ausstellung, seine ortsspezifische Installation in der Secession im Jahr 2013, die Präsenz historischer Formen in der zeitgenössischen Malerei sowie über seine Freundschaft mit Friederike Mayröcker. Diese Folge wurde am 30. Mai 2025 in der Secession aufgenommen. mumok Tobias Pils Shh 27.9.2025 – 12.4.2026 secession Tobias Pils Secession 23.11.2013 – 24.1.2014 Tobias Pils, 1971 in Linz geboren, zählt zu den spannendsten malerischen Positionen der Gegenwart. Unter Verwendung einer stark reduzierten Farbpalette schafft er Gemälde und Zeichnungen, die abstrakte und gegenständliche Momente zu assoziativen Bildwelten verweben. Was sich auf motivischer Ebene als eine Auseinandersetzung mit ebenso elementaren wie persönlichen Themen wie Geburt und Tod, Werden und Vergehen lesen lässt, verhandelt zugleich zentrale Fragen der Malerei: In Pils' Bilderkosmos führt eine malerische Markierung zur nächsten, ein Bild zu einem weiteren, so als würde auch die Malerei unausgesetzt ihren Tod und ihre Wiedergeburt inszenieren. Tobias Pils lebt und arbeitet in Wien. Sophia Roxane Rohwetter ist Autorin und Kunsthistorikerin und lebt in Wien. Derzeit lehrt und promoviert sie am Institut für Kunstgeschichte der Universität Wien. Zuvor war sie Kunstvermittlerin an der Secession.

In the wake of Abraham Lincoln's election, Southern leaders made a fateful choice: to break from the Union. Yet instead of plunging the country into war, what followed next was a tense standoff. There were, as we'll learn today, twists and turns on the path from Secession to all out Civil War.Edited by Tomos Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick.

The Boredwalk content team of Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez is back to discuss the so-called "soft secession" that is allegedly being discussed privately among the Democratic governors of certain majority-Democrat (aka "blue") states in response to the Trump regime's increasingly divisive and authoritarian policies and how that potential fracturing of the Union may take shape. We also revisit the topic of gerrymandering, the chaotic and economically damaging tariff policies and their contribution to the growing isolationist stance of the U.S. in relation to long-standing international allies, and the ongoing real-time decomposition of the supposed "strong man" at the heart of it all. Moving on, we check in with the latest dispatch from Troll-sylvania, where we get to respond to a virtue signaling scold who thinks what we do at Boredwalk is in some way a less form of resistance. Not sure how being tiresome and judgmental equates with being virtuous, but here we are. This is followed by a nice palate cleanser in the form of a glowing review for our Bloodthirsty & Bewitched goth activity book for adults before our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! This week we answer the questions "what is something you're getting worse at?", "what's the most beautiful place you've ever been to?", and "what is the best physical sensation?" Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and (hopefully) laugh with us!

Is mistrust a defining feature and flaw in American democracy? Or is it a manifestation of basic opposition against long-term democratic and aspirational concepts such as "all men are created equally"? In this thought provoking conversation author and historian Richard Kreitner joins Andrew Keen to explore the deep mistrust in U.S. political life. Drawing on themes from his book Break it up: Secession, Division, and the Secret History of America's Imperfect Union. Kreitner traces the fractured origins of the American project, argues that national cohesion may be neither possible nor desirable at the continental scale, and makes the provocative case, that mistrust - even secessionist thinking - can sometimes be a rational response to genuine democratic failures. A timely conversation that challenges prevailing narratives about unity and the Constitution in an age of polarization and rising political anxiety.

Im Gespräch mit der Medien- und Filmkünstlerin Constanze Ruhm geht es insbesondere um Werke aus den letzten 20 Jahren, ausgehend von kuratorischen Tätigkeiten, zu denen die Ausstellung Fate of Alien Modes (2003) im Auftrag der Secession zählt, die Diskurszusammenhänge zwischen Film und Kunst ins Licht rückte. Von der Konzeptkunst und vom Interesse für digitale Technologien und mediale Dispositive entwickelten sich die künstlerischen Projekte nach dem Studium Visueller Mediengestaltung bei Peter Weibel hin zur Rekonstruktion filmischer Räume und zur Kritik männlich kodierter Blickregime und Szenarien. Constanze Ruhm erläutert Appropriationsgesten, die sie im Rahmen ihrer Beschäftigung mit weiblichen Figuren der Filmgeschichte entwickelte. Im Laufe ihrer Recherchen, die sie von Filmarchiven zu historischen Orten führen, deutet sie antike Mythen feministisch um und verknüpft sie mit den Rollen realer Figuren, sowie mit zeitgenössischen Kontexten. Ins Zentrum des Gesprächs rückt in diesem Zusammenhang Ruhms Arbeit zum italienischen Feminismus, die ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit Carla Lonzi entspringt. Dies wird unter anderem an ihrem Interesse an Gesten der Unterbrechung und des Widerständigen deutlich, als Möglichkeiten des politischen Handelns, aber auch als Strategien der Selbstermächtigung und des Sichtbarmachens von weiblicher Arbeit und Solidarität. Der Figur der Probe kommt in Ruhms filmischen Essays über Formen des Reenactments und des Castings eine besondere Rolle zu. Sie führt zu einer wesentlichen Frage hin: wie kann der historische Feminismus der 1970er-Jahre aus der Gegenwart heraus betrachtet werden, und was kann er jüngeren Generationen heute sagen? Diese Episode wurde am 17. Juli 2025 in der Secession aufgenommen. Constanze Ruhm ist Künstlerin, Filmemacherin, Autorin und Kuratorin. In ihren Installationen, Filmen, fotografischen Serien und Publikationen untersucht sie die Beziehungen unterschiedlicher zeitbasierter Formen zwischen Film, bildender Kunst und Neuen Medien. Dabei erforscht sie deren jeweilige Geschichten und Theorien, oft mit einem Fokus auf Probenprozesse und Strategien des Re-Enactments. Ihre thematischen Schwerpunkte liegen auf Fragen des filmischen Blicks sowie der filmischen Narration und der damit verbundenen Machtverhältnisse, auf feministischen Dramaturgien und Theorien des Films sowie auf der Rolle von Archiven innerhalb einer zeitgenössischen filmisch-künstlerischen Praxis. Ihre zwischen Essay, Fiktion und Dokumentation angesiedelten Werke nehmen insbesondere weibliche Filmfiguren in den Blick, um deren Narrationen aus zeitgenössischer, feministischer Perspektive neu zu erzählen. Die Arbeiten werden sowohl auf der Kinoleinwand als auch in installativen Ausstellungsformaten gezeigt. Sie studierte an der Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst in Wien und an der Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. Sie erhielt zahlreiche Preise und Auszeichnungen, darunter der Efebo d'Oro Città di Palermo for New Languages, der Outstanding Artist Award für Dokumentarfilm (2021), der Preis für Innovatives Kino der diagonale (2020), der Würdigungspreis für Medienkunst des Landes Niederösterreich (2009), der Würdigungspreis für Bildende Kunst der Stadt Wien (2009), der Frauenkunstpreis für Medienkunst (2000) u.v.m. Seit 1996 geht Constanze Ruhm einer internationalen Lehrtätigkeit nach: als Professorin für Video an der Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach und von 2003 bis 2006 an der Merz Akademie Stuttgart; von 2006-2011 im Rahmen eines Residency Programs am Art Institute Boston an der Lesley University. Seit 2006 ist sie Professorin für Kunst und Medien an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien. Internationale Ausstellungstätigkeit; zahlreiche kuratorische Projekte (z.B.

Is the breakup of an increasingly polarized America into separate red and blue countries even possible? There is a growing interest in American secession. In February 2023, Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that "We need a national divorce...We need to separate by red states and blue states." Recent movements like Yes California have called for a national divorce along political lines. A 2023 Axios poll shows that 20 percent of Americans favor a national divorce. These trends show a sincere interest in American secession, and they will likely increase in the aftermath of the 2024 Presidential election. Proponents of secession make three arguments: the two sides have irreconcilable differences; secession is a legal right; and smaller political units are better. Through interviews with secessionist advocates in America, Ryan Griffiths explores the case for why Red America and Blue America should split up. But as The Disunited States shows, these arguments are fundamentally incorrect. Secession is the wrong solution to the problem of polarization. Red and Blue America are not neatly sorted and geographically concentrated. Splitting the two parts would require a dangerous unmixing of the population, one that could spiral into violence and state collapse. Drawing on his expertise on secessionism worldwide, he shows how the process has played out internationally-and usually disastrously. Ultimately, this book will disabuse readers of the belief that secession will fix America's problems. Rather than focus on national divorce as a solution, the better course of action is to seek common ground. Ryan D. Griffiths is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University. His research focuses on the dynamics of secession and the study of sovereignty, state systems, and international orders. He teaches on topics related to nationalism, international relations, and international relations theory. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

Is the breakup of an increasingly polarized America into separate red and blue countries even possible? There is a growing interest in American secession. In February 2023, Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that "We need a national divorce...We need to separate by red states and blue states." Recent movements like Yes California have called for a national divorce along political lines. A 2023 Axios poll shows that 20 percent of Americans favor a national divorce. These trends show a sincere interest in American secession, and they will likely increase in the aftermath of the 2024 Presidential election. Proponents of secession make three arguments: the two sides have irreconcilable differences; secession is a legal right; and smaller political units are better. Through interviews with secessionist advocates in America, Ryan Griffiths explores the case for why Red America and Blue America should split up. But as The Disunited States shows, these arguments are fundamentally incorrect. Secession is the wrong solution to the problem of polarization. Red and Blue America are not neatly sorted and geographically concentrated. Splitting the two parts would require a dangerous unmixing of the population, one that could spiral into violence and state collapse. Drawing on his expertise on secessionism worldwide, he shows how the process has played out internationally-and usually disastrously. Ultimately, this book will disabuse readers of the belief that secession will fix America's problems. Rather than focus on national divorce as a solution, the better course of action is to seek common ground. Ryan D. Griffiths is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University. His research focuses on the dynamics of secession and the study of sovereignty, state systems, and international orders. He teaches on topics related to nationalism, international relations, and international relations theory. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

Before the American Revolution, there were the Levellers, who sought liberty during the English Civil War. While their influence on the American colonists would be indirect, nonetheless, many of their ideas reflected what came after American independence.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/reintroducing-levellers

What do we mean by “states‘ rights”? Mises scholar, Wanjiru Njoya, takes us through the discussion to show us how different people have tried to define and explain that term.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/understanding-doctrine-states-rights

The answer lies not in doubling down on political unity, maintained through endless violence or threats of violence. Rather, the answer lies in peaceful separation.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/secession-inevitable-war-prevent-it-optional

Why did North and South go to war with each other in 1861? The standard narrative is that slavery caused the war while more thoughtful people realize that the causes are much more complex than the simple "slavery existed" narrative.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/understanding-causes-lincolns-war

Perhaps no publication contributed more to the Colonials' drive for independence from Great Britain than Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense." But what if he had tried to get the Continental Congress to publish it, instead?

Throughout history, decentralization and secession have helped pave the way for more individual freedom. Naturally, political elites want to centralize everything, thus setting off the eternal battle between centralizers and decentralizers.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/forces-centralization-and-struggle-freedom

Modern historians depend heavily upon sweeping narratives and their take on the US War of Secession is no exception. Yet, the use of methodological individualism allows one to avoid sweeping judgments like claiming the Confederacy was founded upon belief in white supremacy.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/methodological-individualism-historical-analysis-0

In 1897, Gustav Klimt led a group of radical artists to break free from the cultural establishment of Vienna and found a movement that became known as the Vienna Secession. In the vibrant atmosphere of coffee houses, Freudian psychoanalysis and the music of Wagner and Mahler, the Secession sought to bring together fine art and music with applied arts such as architecture and design. The movement was characterized by Klimt's stylised paintings, richly decorated with gold leaf, and the art nouveau buildings that began to appear in the city, most notably the Secession Building, which housed influential exhibitions of avant-garde art and was a prototype of the modern art gallery. The Secessionists themselves were pioneers in their philosophy and way of life, aiming to immerse audiences in unified artistic experiences that brought together visual arts, design, and architecture. With:Mark Berry, Professor of Music and Intellectual History at Royal Holloway, University of LondonLeslie Topp, Professor Emerita in History of Architecture at Birkbeck, University of LondonAndDiane Silverthorne, art historian and 'Vienna 1900' scholarProducer: Eliane GlaserReading list:Mark Berry, Arnold Schoenberg: Critical Lives (Reaktion Books, 2018)Gemma Blackshaw, Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900 (National Gallery Company, 2013)Elizabeth Clegg, Art, Design and Architecture in Central Europe, 1890-1920 (Yale University Press, 2006)Richard Cockett, Vienna: How the City of Ideas Created the Modern World (Yale University Press, 2023)Stephen Downes, Gustav Mahler (Reaktion Books, 2025)Peter Gay, Freud, Jews, and Other Germans: Masters and Victims in Modernist Culture (Oxford University Press, 1979)Tag Gronberg, Vienna: City of Modernity, 1890-1914 (Peter Lang, 2007)Allan S.
