Political alliances are often explained through shared values, common interests, or a vision of the future. But what happens when none of those explanations seems entirely sufficient? Across contemporary Western politics, movements with very different beliefs have increasingly found themselves rallying around the same international cause.
Their differences are not trivial, and the question of what connects them deserves more than a superficial answer.
In my latest video, I explore this strange convergence and ask what it reveals about the direction of modern political life.
Out soon, and as always, thanks so much for sticking with me. It is very much appreciated and I hope your week goes well.
Be well.

New Video Coming Out Soon on GTA6
The New Grand Theft Auto video game trailer has just dropped and is causing quite a stir.
The on /pol/ board the reception has been quite interesting.
Some say it is based and hilarious.
Others notice that many Americans are seething because this trailer is giving a pretty accurate depiction of what US cities look like in the current year.
Others note that the hashtag #BanGTA6 is trending on Twitter.
Either way, there has been an explosion of reactions and none more so than on Black Twitter where issues being discussed are actually oftentimes a lot more nuanced than most people might think GIVEN THE CURRENT REPUTATION OF THE SITE.
As always, thank you so very much for your support. You have no idea how much it means.
See you next week in the chat.

Democracy Believers Were Wrong
The costs of a changing society are not always captured by conventional economic measures. Consider the time spent verifying agreements, the additional precautions people take, or the growing importance of personal networks when confidence in impersonal institutions declines. Each may seem insignificant in isolation. Together, they can affect how people work, cooperate, and plan for the future.
My new video explores the hidden importance of social trust and why its deterioration can change the experience of everyday life.

She Voted for This
A few seconds of footage can become a political Rorschach test. Some viewers see regret; others see hypocrisy, confusion or a convenient symbol for everything they already believe. But how much can we really know about a stranger from a brief expression? The more interesting question is why millions of people are so eager to assign that expression a meaning. The video looks beyond the immediate spectacle to examine the assumptions that make this kind of meme so powerful.
