Magic v. Science: Doctor Who Part III

By Gabriel Mckee

…apparently based on Elizabeth Bathory, the historical “blood countess” of Hungary, who would have been twenty years old in 1580 when the episode is set. Bathory was accused of murdering young women and bathing in their blood, just as Calvierri preyed on the daughters of Venice. Calvierri even wears an Elizabethan reticula collar, consistent with many depictions of Bathory. The Doctor also explains that Venice was a favorite city of Lord Byron. By…

A Tale of Two Fascisms: ‘Douchey’ JD Vance vs. ‘Creepy’ Blake Masters

By Annika Brockschmidt

…uch in their policies, but in the different types of fascism that they espouse. Their style—while similar rhetorically—is actually quite different. Vance has embraced a brawly kind of strong-man persona, a burly guy you can imagine out with the guys, drinking a six-pack and hunting on weekends . An everyman, who looks like he might’ve been a jock in high school and has since put on a few pounds. He has a bullish air about him. Blake Masters presen…

You’re Either Committing Ethnic Cleansing or You’re Not

By Haroon Moghul

…t the criminals? Or is it who the crimes are inflicted on? Are some murders more murderous than others? In that case, do we want to identify with the characters, or are we better off indifferent to them? Sometimes, when a movie leaves you without answers, it’s not because it has forced you to change your perspective on the world, but because it never knew what it wanted to do in the first place, save for making us feel in our hearts that this war…

Politics in a Time of Crisis: Sandy? Blame Socialism

By Haroon Moghul

…state, I had to suffer through oddly inappropriate campaign advertising in between CNN’s breathless coverage. Two ads in particular stuck out to me, for they indicated how differently we approach politics in a time of crisis. The first sequence of ads was all about the dangers of socialism and big government; some Hungarian refugee had bought up ad time explaining why he wanted to vote Romney and why we should learn lessons from the (read: his) pa…

Does Helen Thomas Work for Israel?

By Shaul Magid

…House correspondent how much more so by the so-called activists who confronted Israel’s naval commandos. Thankfully, her employers and sponsors acted appropriately and terminated their relationship with her. Maybe Israel can use her as a covert agent to bolster their case that every act against them constitutes an existential threat? Better yet, maybe Israel can help terminate this rhetoric by acting differently when that threat is not imminent….

‘America First’ and the Origin of the Modern Jewish Conspiracy

By Eric C. Miller

…irst thing is to recognize that this has a real history to it. When people use phrases like America First in the United States, Christian Nation in Hungary, or phrases like “cosmopolitan forces,” they are invoking language that has a long-standing relationship with racism and with anti-Semitism. So the first step is recognizing that. The second thing is to realize that these ideas have always expressed anxiety about the security of borders, fears…

Forget “Nasty,” Trump’s Got a “Disgusting” Problem

By Karen E. Park

…f” and kissed a leper he met on the road. St. Catherine of Siena, St. Elizabeth of Hungary and many other saints cared for the sick, those who were too disgusting to touch, and brought themselves into intimate contact with the physical realities of infection and cancer. They understood that disgust for human beings has no place in the Christian life. Donald Trump seems to live in a near permanent state of disgust. He finds not only the human body…

By Peter Montgomery

…man and a woman. The constitution currently says that marriage is a union between spouses. Iohannis noted that as an ethnic German and a Lutheran, he belongs to two minorities, and he said “religious fanaticism does not help society. If being a Christian leans toward fanaticism…it sends a wrong signal.” South Africa: International gathering of queer Muslims The Inner Circle, a queer Muslim organization, held its 14th annual international retreat…

Killing For Religion, Not God

By Haroon Moghul

…tly, the Boston Review covered the rise of a worryingly far-right party in Hungary, and its attendant anti-Semitic impulses, whether explicit or implicit. Breivik’s screeds link Marxists and multiculturalists and blames both for a defense of Muslims; “Marxist” is often a stand-in for Jewish, as the rootless population that, in this case, enables an imagined Islamic conquest—Jews as the ultimately rootless, Muslims as rootless (migratory) but also…

White Nationalist Ideology Shines Through at Elite MAGA Conference: Inside NatCon Part II

By Ben Lorber

…n’s moves to roll back LGBTQ rights in what he calls “America’s citadel of freedom—the free state of Florida, proud to be a refuge of sanity in a world gone mad. We’re holding down the fort.” Indeed, in a national climate where solid majorities remain opposed to the Supreme Court’s gutting of Roe v. Wade, Hazony and others clearly perceive states like Florida to be a laboratory for battle-testing their Christian nationalist vision. “People say ‘lo…
