SHORTPOD (30): "ME AND MY LIBERAL GF" VS. STUFF THAT REALLY MATTERS

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell discusses Richard Spencer's increasingly ludicrous attempts to remain the centre of attention by parading—or being paraded by—his liberal girlfriend.

Meanwhile the world heads for greater instability, with migrant invasion armies assembling at the US border with little in the way of moral and ideological resistance, and Britain battling to extricate itself from a deceitful and malevolent European Union

SHORTPOD (29): THE END OF AUSTERITY (UNTIL AFTER THE NEXT ELECTION)

UK government debt £1,889,540,434,996 +
Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell discusses the US midterms, before turning his attention to UK Chancellor Philip Hammond's latest Budget. Hyped as the "End of Austerity" Budget, Liddell argues that the package of tax cuts and increased government spending is economically moronic but politically astute, and is influenced by the tragic fate of John Major's government in the 1990s which unwittingly fattened the calf for its Labour opponents.

SHORTPOD (28):THE KHASSHOGI CASE AND ERDOGAN'S "NEO-OTTOMANISM"

Affirmative Right's Chief Editor Colin Liddell talks about the recent murder of journalist Jamal Khasshogi in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul and how it is being weaponised for geopolitical gain by President Erdogan of Turkey. He contends that what we are seeing here is a geopolitical struggle for hegemony in the Sunni Muslim World between a revanchist "Neo-Ottoman" Turkey and a medievalist Saudi Arabian monarchy that is attempting to use its oil billions to burnish its image with modern PR tactics and appeals to the West.

SHORTPOD (27): POLARISATION AND HYSTERIA AS EXPRESSIONS OF CIVILISATIONAL DECAY

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell comments on the growing polarisation and hysteria in the West, as revealed by the recent struggle over Brett Kavanaugh's elevation to the Supreme Court.

Liddell argues that the shrill emotionalism from both the Right and the Left are essentially crude attempts to regain an "understanding" of the World. These are inevitable responses to civilisational decay and our inability to now relate to the world socially and collectively through trusted elites, complex myths, and a sophisticated, nuanced culture. 

SHORTPOD (26): ALEX JONES AND THE COMING "COLD CIVIL WAR"

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell comments on the deplatforming of Alex Jones and other non-Leftists by Big Tech. He draws a parallel between America today and Britain in the 1980s, when the Left's decisive defeat at the hands of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, saw it displaced from political power. It fought back by seizing control of institutions or weaponising its existing soft control of institutions. 


Something similar is now underway in America with Big Tech being increasingly weaponised by the Left, raising the possibility of a Rightist response. Only strong anti-trust measures can prevent a "Cold Civil War" that could split society into ideologically disparate institutions and corporate structures.


SHORTPOD (25): THE GREAT BREXIT BUST-UP

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell comments on the latest Brexit squabble in Britain's Conservative Party, which has led to the resignations of several government ministers and greatly weakened the minority government of Prime Minister Theresa May.

How will the EU react to the weakening hand of the British government in the Brexit negotiations? Will this situation ensure a Hard Brexit? Will May continue to hang on? Who would likely replace her? 


All this and more will be revealed succinctly and efficiently in the Shortpod, the podcast for people who may not have the endless hours to spend watching YouTube Livestreams.

SHORTPOD (24): THE WORLD CUP AND THE DENATIONALISATION OF ENGLISH FOOTBALL

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell looks at the ongoing World Cup, and reflects on how Western European elites are changing football from a collective and tribalistic expression of White working-class identity to something more consumerist, atomised, rootless, multiracial, and meaningless.

SHORTPOD (23): TRUMP BURNISHES HIS "MADMAN CRED" TO DO THE SANEST OF DEALS

Affirmative Right chief editor Colin Liddell comments on the recent "stormy" G7 meeting in Canada and Trump's forthcoming "show down" meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Was Trump merely using the G7 meeting to burnish his "Mad Man" credentials in order to get the only deal that makes sense for America in an increasingly multipolar World?

SHORTPOD (22): WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN GAZA

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell talks briefly about his new book Interviews & Obituaries before moving on the situation in Gaza. Here Hamas have been engaged in mass protests, which Liddell contends are aimed at undermining their Palestinian rivals Fatah as much as they are designed to attack the moral capital that Israel needs to survive.

SHORTPOD (20): WAR DRUMS & FALSE FLAGS

Affirmative Right's Chief Editor Colin Liddell comments on the beating of war drums and the waving of false flags over the Syrian crisis.

Is war now inevitable, or are we about to see a repeat of what happened last year with a few novelties added?



SHORTPOD (19): THE PALINTHANATOS OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE

Affirmative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell on why the latest omnibus spending bill represents the end of Trump's potential to lead a radical palingenesis ("rebirth") of American society, and the possibility that his true revolutionary potential may be to serve as a Gorbachev-style figure and trigger a "palinthanatos" of the American Empire. 

SHORTPOD (17): INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY - THE DEMOGRAPHIC DISASTER OF FEMINISM

In his latest Shortpod, Alternative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell discusses International Women's Day and the meaninglessness of a Feminism that doesn't address the demographic disaster it has created. The data shows that Feminism is killing the countries that have allowed it to flourish most. This is a problem for those countries, but it is also a problem for Feminism itself.

SHORTPOD (16): RACIST BBC FORCES BLACKS INTO WHITE ROLES


Why is the BBC constantly putting Blacks in White roles? The conventional explanation is that they are promoting a Cultural Marxist agenda of "racial replacement" against Whites. However, in this Shortpod, Alternative Right Chief Editor Colin Liddell argues that this phenomenon instead reveals the BBC's deep bias against Black culture.

SHORTPOD (13): THE THOTTENING OF THE ALT-RIGHT


In his latest "Shortpod," Colin Liddell responds to the here-today-gone-tomorrow "tradthot" controversy, and expounds on why movement drama in the Alt-Right is inevitable and is probably a good thing. He also reminds us that micromanaging the movement is not an option...luckily.

SHORTPOD (12): SO GOOLAG TO SEE YOU AGAIN


Colin Liddell responds to the unexpected return of Alternative Right's Blogspot site from the Google Gulag this Halloween. The site had been shut down following Charlottesville and was awaiting final termination when it was unexpectedly reprieved. What was the reason for the dramatic U-turn by the the social media monopoly and can we ever trust them again?

SHORTPOD (11): DEATH IN VEGAS AND THE JAPANESE ELECTIONS


Colin Liddell talks about the Las Vegas Massacre, the Catalonian Crisis, and the Japanese general election, in which a new party, ominously led by a woman, is challenging Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

SHORTPOD (10): THE ALT-RIGHT METAPOLITICAL REVOLUTION WILL EAT ITS CHILDREN

Colin Liddell talks about the aftermath of “Hurricane Charlottesville” and why it was not such a defeat for the Alt-Right as the media spin would suggest. The Alt-Right is a metapolitical revolution that is following the normal trajectory of revolutions — i.e. being temporarily hijacked by more extreme and unstable elements, before more conservative, moral, and pragmatic elements reassert themselves.



SHORTPOD (9): SITE SNAFUS AND MOVEMENT KERFUFFLES


A brief podcast by Alternative Right chief editor Colin Liddell, reporting on site matters and events in the news. This time the focus is on the UK general election.

In recent weeks there has been some infighting in the Alt-Right, between the AltRight.com camp and the Counter-Currents camp. Colin Liddell argues that flare ups like this are to be expected and should not be taken too seriously. He also explains why he has a slight grudge against Greg Johnson, and considers whether gays can be a useful part of the Alt-Right.
