Since 2020 there has been a sizeable reconfiguration of political lines, with new poles shaping up to replace left and right. Specifically, differing strains of a kind of conservative nationalism replacing the traditional right and liberalised globalism replacing the traditional left.

We discuss those emerging configurations, the new American empire’s tendency towards realism, Heidegger, and technology as the central question of modernity, as well as how concepts like ‘human rights’ and ‘moral relativism’ are out of date, with potentially even ‘democracy’ soon for the chopping block.

Plus, Gen Z’s realist approach to transgendersism, the recognition of Somaliland, human rights law’s failure around sanctions, Ed Miliband as future PM, monarchy, anti-sexist workshops for boys in school, and having to wait years for institutions to catch-up with discourse already evident via technology.

The new Netflix documentary 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning' profiling rapper, producer, and now convict P Diddy, has set the internet alight. We review the documentary, focusing on its themes of sexual violence and psychological control, behaviour that P Diddy got away with across four decades. We also discuss how the documentary presents a psychological profile of the real Sean Combs, someone who no matter what damage he caused, somehow managed to capitalise on it, only to cause more carnage.

Plus, revenge as justice, malignant narcissism’s sadism, Sartre, Freud’s Totem and Taboo, mechanisms of financial and psychological control, how the American black middle-class utilise the black working-class and lumpen underclass in the entertainment industry, and at the end we give our own examples from leftwing politics of individuals who sought to psychologically wield power over others and the ‘tests’ and tactics they would use.

Last weekend new leftwing UK party officially now called ‘Your Party’ held their first conference showcasing a bonanza of debilitating leftist tendencies. We discuss those and wider bonkers trends on the left. Including, obsessional lunacy with accessibility that is actually a tool of manipulation and grievance mining, individualism and politics as identity, the affectlessness of leftwing speech today, and social exclusion's relationship to the repetition of slogans. Plus, the term ‘retard’ as a distinguishing signal, why the left hasn’t had a new idea or take in decades, how every attack by the left has a social quality, Trotskyism’s anathema to power, Syriza, platforming nonces, political messianism, and the left’s hostility to arguments.
