Deep State Kuba is going to tackle the G8/NATO/EU response to the current war in Ukraine, and Pascal is going to take another deep dive into the current SCOTUS pick and the Democratic Party. Jason closes it out with some last words on death of Madeline Albright and how these moments are remembered, and what we often forget.

Cultural Nationalism is an ideology or practice that fuses collective cultural identity with a defined sense of "peoplehood." In the context of the Black or African Diaspora it usually demonstrates itself as a strong connection to manifestations of African Culture and even domestic Black cultural production. Does cultural nationalism have a beneficial political purpose in terms of material benefit? Or is it real just a form of identity redemption in the face of historical European colonialism.

Corey Robin is a well-respected political scientist. He has written several books, most famously, “The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump,” and, “The Enigma of Clarence Thomas.” Corey has dedicated much scholarship to the nature of American political conservatism. His books trace the ideological groundings of American conservatism in the United States. Though we have had several guests on our show that discussed the danger of the current reactionary right, Corey Robin offers a different thesis. Robin argues that Right is not strong but weak, and that their capacity to implement their agenda has been severely hampered over time.
Corey Robin is an American political theorist, journalist and professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Technical difficulties caused us to loose our 90 minute talk with Ben Burgis and Ana Kasparian. Hopefully we'll get them back, but MAN that sucks.
