Soccer and the Sublime in the Shadow of Apartheid

By Preston Davis

…also be pedestrian, taking place year-round on every continent, every zip code. It is a game, proven by its global appeal, which defies socioeconomic standing. Therein lies further emphasis of the World Cup’s importance, too: the world stage. Marxism has long been called the world’s secular religion, but a football fan knows economic ideology pales in comparison to the world’s devotion to football. John Carlin of Time magazine is right when he sa…

Art(ful) History in Texas

By Lauri Lebo

…ys that he and other board members weren’t trying to ignore slavery as a cause of the Civil War. “There were multiple causes,” he said. Davis’ address, which reads eerily like a Tea Party manifesto, never mentions slavery, but the board makes no mention of teaching its own state’s Ordinance of Secession, which states: (Texas) was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery—the servitude of…

New Reports Reveal Global Persecution of Nonbelievers

By Austin Dacey

…a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions,” said a YouTube spokesperson at the time. “This can be a challenge because what’s okay in one country can be offensive elsewhere.” International human rights treaties guarantee all citizens freedom of thought and freedom of expression. But these treaties are binding on states, not on the media corporations that enable the exercise of such freedoms. It rema…

Red White and Blue No Longer

By Peter Laarman

…oples. In 1901 he even invited Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House (a political mistake he never repeated after the incident provoked a tremendous white backlash). More than a century beyond Roosevelt’s day, one does not often hear the words “white Christian nation” uttered out loud any longer. What one does hear, however, amounts to code for the same thing. Thus, R.J. Rushdoony’s still-influential ideas about forging a godly nation—a…

May We All Be More Like Dick Molpus

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…l of people, one of whom was Governor Haley Barbour: Few politicians today use outright race baiting, but we see the symbols some use and the phrases they utter and everyone knows what the code is—what really is being said. Oh, and he’s also called attention to how voter ID laws endanger the voting rights of poor and elderly people, and was named a Champion of Justice by the Mississippi Center for Justice. Yep. Classic Dick Molpus. May his tribe i…

Before Breitbart: How Right Wing Media Transformed American Politics

By Eric C. Miller

…nalist. It’s a competitor to outlets like Fox News and Glenn Beck, not because it’s conservative but because it’s challenging the conservative establishment. This is as much a media story as a politics one. By removing gatekeepers and lowering costs, the internet has enabled a broader range of political ideas, policy preferences, and ideologies to ferment online. Fox News, with its ties to both the Republican Party and conservative elites, became…

Nike’s Token Equality: New Campaign Masks the Truth About Workers’ Rights

By Gerald J. Beyer

…eplorable plight of Nike factory workers, who were beaten for fighting for better conditions. The list of times and places where workers in Nike’s global supply chain have been enslaved (forced labor is enslavement), robbed of their wages, or verbally and physically abused since then goes on and on. Fast forward to 2017. While Nike has made some progress in the area of corporate social responsibility, the company still fails to “just do it” when i…

Warships, Animals, Pubs Eligible For Blessings From Church of England, But Not Same-Sex Couples; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…els like a place where love and sex have parted ways, and where the arc of freedom is bending toward license. It is in this context that Mr. Johar’s equivocations acquire special meaning. He is not popular among activists and the intelligentsia. They accuse him of reducing gay characters to effeminate parodies. Apurva Asrani, the script writer of “Aligarh,” an affecting film about a gay professor in a Muslim university town, wrote in The Wire: “Sa…

The Religious Origins of Fake News and ‘Alternative Facts’

By Christopher Douglas

…the efficacy of abstinence-only sex education, and even the supposed link between vaccinations and autism. One could make the argument that even issues that don’t appear to have any religious resonance at all—such as the efficacy of supply-side economic policies, or the idea that Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction and ties to Al Qaeda—are likewise successful partly because of this conservative cognitive training in the rejection of ma…

The Revolution Will Not Be Fetishized: Taking Resistance Beyond the Spiritual Industrial Complex

By Andrea R. Jain

…own social contingencies. It reflected an envisioning of the body that infuses our contemporary consumer culture and that denies a fundamental difference between the body and the self. It attributes sanctity to the body so thoroughly that enhancing the body is considered a part of the transformative and transcendent process of self-development. Attempts by others to oppress or violate one’s body, in turn, are not only physical violations, but als…
