Not skepticism: nihilism. Even in the case of the assassination of John F Kennedy, there is nothing to be believed in.

Occult in its origins, occult in its undoing in the end: this could instead be titled Nihilism vs the Neo-Nazis (although we might need a footnote to clarify that this category includes Kanye West).

Although it is commonly said that Judaism is not quite the same thing as Jewishness, supporting either one while rejecting the other entails a paradox that comes close to racism —and these are precisely the arguments that Jaclyn Glenn attempts to make, defending the continuation of the religion "as an identity" that is supposedly rooted in D.N.A. while remaining nominally atheist, and yet demonstrating her faith through prayer and ritual, including circumcision. This is episode 09 of Nihilism Now: Politics After Atheism.

The problem is not so much that Milton Friedman is wrong about everything, but, instead, the extent to which people presume that being right about any particular factoid (in the overlapping fields of politics and economics) means that you "must be" correct about anything (or everything) else. (AR+IO-014) A podcast about the politics of atheism (and the importance of atheism in politics) from a nihilist perspective.

Episode thirteen (AR+IO-013). Let us be blunt: if Quebec has the right to establish its independence by a referendum, then the Crimea does, too —along with the Donbas (Donetsk and Luhansk) and Taiwan and everyone else, everywhere else. If not, we're back to the phony sovereignty (and even phonier empire-building) of the Napoleonic wars. How, after all, was Poland supposed to establish its independence during the reign of Napoleon? And Haiti? Oh no, let's not give ourselves nightmares by talking about Poland and Haiti.
There is no doubt, in praxis, that the people of Greenland would benefit enormously from being annexed by the United States of America. The people of Canada would, too, and yet we are staring at an advantage in praxis without a principle. The philosophical poverty of the American Empire is so profound that when the mask comes off we can only laugh at its face laid bare: what could be more absurd than Canada and Greenland joining the American Empire? What could be more absurd than regarding the United States of America as —morally— no different from the Russian Empire of Vladimir Putin? Communism is dead in one place and Democracy is dead in the other: what is it, now, that they are conquering the world for? The inability to articulate an American philosophy entails the inability to administer an empire, here, there, everywhere: from Afghanistan to Greenland.

The excuses she makes for the acceptance of religion are far more important than the reasons she's given for its rejection. Within just the last few months, Alyssa Grefell has seemingly stumbled into her role as "the face of atheism", but, already, mistakes she is making (in that accidental leadership role) illustrate why (and how) this still incipient political movement is stumbling as a whole. This is episode 4 of Nihilism Now: Politics After Atheism, (AR+IO-006).

J.D. Vance is one of the most important examples of an "ex-atheist", and he didn't merely revert to Christianity, but converted (for the first time) to Catholicism, for avowedly intellectual reasons that you'll find specified and cross examined here.
