The death of the mainstream media has emboldened far right charlatans Nick Cohen talks to author and journalist James Bloodworth about the evolving nature of politics and media in today's digital age. James explores how traditional media institutions are losing influence while online platforms and personalities mainly of the radical and far right have become more prominent, particularly noting how successful figures leverage algorithms and controversial content to gain attention.The strange death of the mainstream mediaJames Bloodworth discusses the changing media landscape, noting that traditional media outlets like newspapers and TV networks are losing relevance, especially among younger audiences. He observes that podcasts and social media have become more influential, with figures like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate gaining significant followings. Bloodworth explains that successful online personalities often understand algorithms and use outrageous statements to gain attention, both from supporters and critics.Victimhood is pay-dirt for online Radicalised RightJames Bloodworth says radical right figures are earning online fortunes with simple messaging, saying "You slowly learn that the nuanced articles don't get as many clicks and subscriptions, and people sending you money as the more inflammatory articles." He described figures such as Matthew Goodwin as "very obviously leaning into the white supremo types who give him money on his Substack." He adds, "I don't know how much of this stuff he actually believes, but he's willing to surf that wave because it because it seems to be making him quite a lot of money."Online far right wingers are guilty of bad faith & hypocrisy James says right wing charlatans are always banging on about free speech when it came to people jailed for inciting violence against immigrants like the wife of a Tory councillor, Lucy Connolly, while demanding the banning of pro-Palestinian protests. James adds, "I know there are people at those protests who have said anti-semitic things, and that there have been anti-semitic chants. But... there's a complete double standard. I think it's all bad faith, and I think the accusations, particularly against Keir Starmer of two-tiered justice, are completely absurd, considering he was involved in the prosecution of people following the 2011 riots."Read all about it!James Bloodworth, @J_Bloodworth, the author of The Lost Boys, A personal journey through the Manosphere published on June 5th by Atlantic Books.

Could It Happen Anywhere? Listen to the rhythm of things that never die. —Mark Nepo, “For a Long Time” Worried about what was to come, I went to the river and listened to the constant song as water met stone, met log, met wall. The endless white hush of it. Song of building up banks. Song of tearing them down. Song of surrender to invisible force. Song of change that is ever the same and not the same. And in the listening, I found refuge—not in the longing to hide, not in the sound— I found refuge in the listening. Refuge in the opening of the senses. In attuning to what is here. Wave and current and eddy and flow and the attentiveness that lives through this woman. And I listened and listened, listened to it all, and was opened by listening. At some point the listener disappeared. What was left was listening itself. For a time, peace found me there. Intention To wonder. To wonder with no plan for where it might lead. No strategy for arrival. No finish line. No pot of gold. No perfect score. No striving for. To wonder. To wonder the way a small child might wonder when seeing a roly poly for the first time— oh, look at all those legs. Look at how it curls! Look how it moves again. Feel how light it is in the palm. Feel how it tickles as it moves. Imagine an awareness that new meeting a life form that old. Can I be that new as I meet this infinite world? To wonder not just with my mind but with my belly. To let every neuron spark. To notice where there is a channel and imagine the great wing of life is scraping it clean so the stream might flow in new ways. To wonder beyond the edge of the known, and in that spaciousness, play. —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer The listing of Chat GPT response to brutal truths: Here are five core truths about your own psychology that everyone must understand—or risk sabotaging their success, happiness, or relationships: ⸻ 1. You are not your thoughts. Your mind generates a constant stream of thoughts—some true, some false, some helpful, many harmful. If you believe every thought, especially negative self-talk, you'll: • sabotage goals, • erode self-esteem, • and avoid taking necessary risks. ✅ Learn to observe thoughts without obeying them. This is the root of emotional resilience. ⸻ 2. Your emotions are messengers, not dictators. Feelings like anger, fear, jealousy, or sadness carry signals—but they don't always point to truth or demand action. Avoiding or overreacting to emotions leads to: • impulsive decisions, • emotional burnout, • or constant anxiety. ✅ Name your emotions, listen to them, and respond—don't react blindly. ⸻ 3. You have unconscious patterns driving your behavior. Much of your personality and decision-making is shaped by: • childhood experiences, • unresolved trauma, • or defense mechanisms. Ignoring these patterns means you repeat them—even when they hurt you or others. ✅ Self-awareness requires digging into your past, habits, and triggers with honesty. ⸻ 4. Your brain is wired for comfort, not growth. Your mind naturally resists discomfort, uncertainty, or change—even when it's what you need. This resistance: • kills dreams, • prevents growth, • and reinforces stagnation. ✅ Discomfort is a sign you're on the edge of transformation. Don't run from it. ⸻ 5. You are responsible for your reactions—even when others hurt you. Blaming others or circumstances for how you feel or behave keeps you powerless. Psychological maturity means: • owning your choices, • setting boundaries, • and healing, not blaming. ✅ Victimhood might be justified, but it won't help you thrive. ⸻ Bottom Line: Mastering your psychology is not optional—it's the difference between drifting through life and designing it. If you don't do the work, your patterns will run you, and you'll wonder why life keeps turning out the same.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As you know by now, we're all about agency over victimhood around here. Too many of us as men adopt a poverty mentality when it comes to women, thinking that some other guy who won the proverbial 'genetic lottery' will get all the women instead of us. But ironically, many of us also believe in picking ourselves up by our bootstraps and taking personal responsibility when it comes to our education, our careers, and perhaps even our social lives outside of women. What's up with that? It's obviously a clash of incongruent mindsets, if not flat-out hypocrisy. How did so many of us get to that point? And more importantly, how do we get back on an even playing field with a consistent, winning mindset? Can you handle the truth?

The Second Phase Podcast - Personal Branding & Brand Marketing and Life Strategies for Success for Female Entrepreneurs

The victim mentality has the power to leave you hopeless and helpless. How is the victim mentality influencing your life? Have you been the victim? Are others in your life playing the victim? Where is the victim mentality holding you hostage, parenthood, relationships, career? What is it? In a nutshell, a victim mentality is when someone blames others for their life experiences. In other words, they do not take ownership of, or responsibility for their decisions and actions that resulted in unfavorable circumstances. Experiencing it. If you are the person employing a victim mentality, you are blaming others for things in your life that you are unhappy with. Blaming equates to powerlessness. When you, or others in your life, do not take ownership and consistently blame others, you sacrifice the power to change your circumstances.  Additionally, a victim mentality is characterized by a lack of accountability for one's actions. Likewise, they do not adopt healthy coping mechanisms; instead, they blame others. This can be the result of trauma or past experiences, or it could be an intentional choice. Complaining is a symptom of victimhood, and people deny responsibility or ownership for their part in their circumstances. Blaming others, Satan, or God is quite common when someone chooses victimhood. Blame is the key ingredient of a victim mentality. I've recently heard an overwhelming number of people blame the devil for their current circumstances, be it relationships, financial insecurity, lack of success, emotional chaos within their families, or anxiety. When anyone gives Satan credit for their circumstances, they are rendering themselves powerless to him. Scripture verses that remind us that Satan has no authority over us: Luke 10:19 "See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you." 1 John 4:4 "Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." Colossians 1:13 "He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son," Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Anxiety One of the first steps you can take is to download the free eBook, Alleviate Anxiety by Developing Healthy Habits for a Healthy Mind. The second step is to give yourself a social media reset and use the time you've been scrolling to get closer to Jesus. Read the full shownotes and access all links.

How are we shaped by the world around us and what is our role in shaping it?   Amisha is honored to walk with Alnoor Ladha in this transformative episode that blends the personal and political, the spiritual and systemic. Alnoor has spent years at the intersection of activism, mysticism, and storytelling - working to reimagine how we relate to power, care, and community. In this episode we get into all kinds of things: taking real responsibility (like, the kind that doesn't burn you out), how our inner healing connects to outer systems, grounded spiritual practice as a form of resistance, what post-capitalism could actually feel like in the body, and how deprogramming scarcity can open us up to deeper connection and joy. We talk about: :: Power, entitlement, and victimhood - not as buzzwords, but as energies we carry and can transform :: Why separating the spiritual from the political just doesn't make sense anymore :: Living your values without needing to be perfect :: How systems like capitalism got made - and why we can unmake them :: What becomes possible when we choose compassion over competition, and care over control This one's for anyone who feels the overwhelm of the world and still believes something else is possible. Alnoor offers a grounded, tender invitation to look at what's happening globally as a mirror of what's going on in our relationships, our bodies, and our everyday choices. We hope this conversation lands in your chest, loosens some old stories, and opens up space for something more generous, more collective, and way more alive.

Hey humans! In this episode, as we continue our series on 'Assuming Positive Intent,' I'm diving further into a topic I believe is one of the most challenging things we navigate: the duality between victimhood and accountability. To pick up from last week, I really break down what victimhood looks like – that mindset rooted in an external locus of control, where we might blame others or circumstances, often stemming from past adversity or trauma, and I don't want to minimize that. I explore the significant costs of this mindset, especially in our workplaces—how it erodes trust, blocks progress, and reduces psychological safety—to really lay the foundation for why understanding this is so critical before we talk about how to shift towards accountability in our next episode.

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.Feeling stretched too thin? Overwhelmed by endless commitments? You're not alone. In this transformative episode, Robert J Hunt (known as "the accountability guy") reveals how creating "margin" in your life can be the difference between constant burnout and sustainable excellence.Robert shares his powerful personal journey of facing $90,000 in consumer debt and making the radical decision to sell his home and start over. This vulnerability becomes the foundation for a complete life reset that doubled his business while restoring his marriage, faith, and sense of purpose. The catalyst? Accepting that "nobody cares until you do" – taking full ownership of his circumstances rather than blaming, making excuses, or waiting for rescue.We explore the accountability mountain that we all must climb, with Robert offering practical wisdom on how to move from victim thinking to proactive ownership in every area of life. You'll discover why excellence isn't about perfectionism but about doing your best within sustainable boundaries, and why creating margin in your time, money, health, and emotions prevents the breakdowns that derail your goals.Business owners and employees alike will benefit from Robert's insights on the five traits of excellent leaders: continuous learning, decision-making, ownership, team development, and results-driven accountability. Most importantly, you'll learn how to recognize when you're operating without margin and practical steps to reclaim the breathing room necessary for both achievement and fulfillment.Ready to stop living on the edge of burnout?

Across two intense segments, the hosts delve into what they argue is a dangerous normalization of political violence and performative victimhood on the American left. They highlight incidents involving Representative MacIvor's confrontation with ICE, James Comey's “86 47” seashell photo, and a broader media culture that appears to celebrate revolutionary posturing and rage as social currency. By drawing parallels to January 6th protesters and historical figures like Che Guevara, the discussion critiques what they see as the left's selective moral outrage, a cultivated media environment of double standards, and the incentivization of outrage for fame, power, or book sales.

And not just any Democrat. Malcom Kenyatta, who's also subject to a re-vote for his position as DNC co-chair, says Hogg is misleading the public and painting himself as a victim; something many 2A advocates would wholeheartedly agree with. Plus, Cam goes over the arguments in favor of keeping suppressors as NFA items that he's been hearing from some on Capitol Hill.

Is that really who you are? If you speak it out loud, 'I'm the victim,' it gets embarrassing because something in there can't say it very long.

“I am not the victim of the world I see.” – A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Lesson 31What if you stopped identifying with the part of you that feels powerless?What if you could claim your power, right now, from the inside out?In this episode, we explore Lesson 31 from the A Course in Miracles Workbook for Students⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which invites us to break free from the illusion of victimhood. We examine how the stories we tell about ourselves—especially ones rooted in helplessness, blame, or fear—shape the world we see. And more importantly, how we can begin to write new ones.This lesson is a call to radical responsibility. Not as a burden—but as a path back to our power, agency, and peace.Whether you've been looping in blame, waiting to be rescued, or doubting your ability to change… this episode offers a gentle but clear reminder:You are not a victim. You are a creator.Key Insights from Lesson 31✨ Freedom is an inside job: Real freedom doesn't come from changing external circumstances—it begins when we stop believing the ego's script of helplessness and choose to see through the eyes of love and strength.✨ Perception is projection: Your outer world reflects your inner beliefs. Victimhood distorts your perception and locks you into reactive loops. But when you shift your mindset, even slightly, the world reflects that softness and sovereignty back to you.✨ Responsibility is not blame—it's empowerment: To say “I am not a victim” isn't to dismiss the pain you've lived through. It's to stop giving it control over your present. You can choose again. You can write a new chapter. One rooted in compassion, clarity, and conscious choice.Reflection QuestionsWhere in my life do I feel like a victim right now—and what narrative is fueling that feeling?If I fully embraced that I am not a victim of the world I see, how might I meet today's challenges with more personal power and agency?Is there a story I've outgrown but still wear like a second skin? What belief would I need to release to return to who I truly am?What's one small way I can reclaim authorship of my life today, instead of waiting to be rescued or fixed?RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Three Faces of Victimhood: An Overview of the Victim TriangleIdentifying the Drama TriangleMaking the Shift From Drama to EmpowermentCONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ORACLE DECKS USED⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tea Leaf Fortune Cards⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Animal Spirit Deck⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Rose Oracle Deck
