Darren Beattie - Empire, Moral Fervor and Modernity

You can support this podcast and get early releases at Or check out my writing on Substack at ​ I speak to Darren Beattie about quaint Transylvanian towns and who has power in the politics of Eastern European backwaters, the Globalist American Empire and how narrative warps reality, color revolutions, who has the moral high ground and why it matters, the origins of our present derangements - philosophy, material emergence, or both, the question of “does voting even matter?“, the impact of technology on how the game of politics evolves and about his dissertation on another subversive, Heidegger. Darren is an author, former speechwriter for President Trump, and the gray eminence behind Revolver News. He’s also one of the most incisive analysts of our current moment both in terms of US politics but also of the wider reverberations around the world.
