Conservative MP, Jamil Jivani is copying some moves from the Trumpian playbook. Yesterday he was busy attacking DEI policies in Canada, and this is not his first time. Seems JD’s Vance’s close friend, shares the same tactics to prop up hate, and divide society.

You may have seen the poster floating around on social media, of a group of white men presenting a panel on muscular Christianity in Tennessee. If you have not, you may have seen the memes made of it. I cannot attend the event, and there is no online attendance, so I decided to dig into who the speakers are. The ensuing rabbit hole had very little muscular Christianity, but it did have conspiracies, Christian nationalism, and hate. This is a free post on my Substack, so please pop over and dive in.

As a regular Bluesky poster, and let’s be honest social media addict, I have been considering writing a blog for quite some time. My social media posts tend to become threads, as I analyze or add additional information to media pieces, current events, and evidence of extremism.

My area of research is in the darkest areas of political humanity, meaning conspiracy theories, Christian nationalism, populism, extremism, and hate. The convergence of these topics is evident in the world we live in today. Far-right militia movements, moral panics, attacks on human rights seem to be flourishing globally, yet many writing on these topic are reactionary. The analysis is of the moment, making it appear as though this “just happened.” The truth is many of these current events, movements, and violent mobilizations are the result of a steady buildup of propaganda, fearmongering, and a hierarchical nesting of conspiracy theories, religion, the occult, and a sense of constructed victimhood.
