Symbolism Over Substance: Executive Myth-Making
Concept Overview
Presidential power in modern politics often extends far beyond policy or governance. Leaders increasingly cultivate myths of authority — shaping themselves into symbols rather than administrators. This is executive myth-making: the transformation of political figures into icons, brands, or saviors, often masking institutional erosion or policy failures with spectacle.

The Weight and Weapon of Memory: George Floyd and the Politics of Remembrance

The Weight and Weapon of Memory: George Floyd and the Politics of Remembrance

Memory carries both burden and power. The memory of George Floyd is heavy: it bears the weight of centuries of racialized violence in America, the collective grief of communities, and the personal trauma of his family. Yet memory is also a weapon: it galvanizes movements, shatters the silence of denial, and creates an archive of resistance that can neither be erased nor ignored. To study George Floyd’s memory is to see how trauma is remembered not only in pain but in protest—how a single life lost becomes the spark for global cries of justice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.

Trauma Remembered, Resistance Renewed

Trauma Remembered, Resistance Renewed

Trauma, identity, and resistance are not separate currents but interwoven threads in the fabric of lived experience. Trauma is not just a private wound; it is social, historical, and political. Identity is not only personal but shaped in relation to power, stigma, and solidarity. Resistance is not simply a reactive act but a reimagining of futures. At their intersection, we find both pain and possibility—the scars of violence alongside the seeds of transformation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.

Cultural Cynicism Unveiled

Cultural Cynicism Unveiled

Cynicism doesn’t arrive uninvited—it grows in the gap between aspiration and contradiction. Movements built on visions of justice, solidarity, or radical transformation often shine brightest at their inception. But when those same spaces fracture into internal feuds, gatekeeping, and ideological purity tests, the glow dims. To outsiders, the promise of collective liberation begins to look performative. The message may still speak of unity, but the practice reveals division. And in that dissonance, cynicism finds fertile ground.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
