My own professional association home @apsa.bsky.social chose to replatform the Claremont Institute at this year’s meeting. I won’t attend next year, if they do the same. And I’ll help @davekarpf.bsky.social to organize and mobilize our colleagues in this and other ways.

I agree. And they analyse demagoguery against the background of a theory of monopoly capitalism. Especially in the 1930s and 40s, the people around Horkheimer keep returning to the question how language, ideology, collectives change under monopolistic conditions, see eg the last two chs of the DoE.

I am one of those people. 😉 Can you elaborate?

I think they (and works written that tackle related issues, like “Prophets of Deceit”) do help shed light on some of the similar societal conditions that give rise to agitators. I also think that tech has played a massive role in that malaise.

Ah I see. Thank you for giving me that additional information. No, with that limitation and given your broad subject area, I’m not ready yet! I’m working on xtian nationalism+fascism in grad school but not publishing yet. Thank you for replying!

I would love to work on theorizing whether Intelligence Agencies constitute an as yet unrecognized form of government but wow I’m nowhere close to that yet! 😁

This semester, deep diving into the literature on digital repression in hopes of using it to better focus my dissertation topic. Last semester I analyzed spyware usage in countries with and without state religions.
