Light Against Empire - The Podcast
Welcome to Light Against Empire – the Podcast—part reckoning, part resistance. If you've ever felt the chill of rising power dressed as patriotism, you're not imagining it. We confront the spectacle, expose the performance, and hold a torch to the machinery of modern empire—while listening closely to the echoes of those who once brought empires down.

Diogenes Goes to Washington
Why You Should Listen to Diogenes Goes to Washington
What happens when an ancient cynic philosopher shows up in Washington with nothing but a barrel and a lantern? He finds the same thing you already suspect: truth doesn’t live here.
This essay is dark comedy with teeth. You’ll see Diogenes live-tweeting his way through Capitol Hill, TSA agents trying to confiscate his lantern, lobbyists begging to slap corporate logos on it, and a President who can’t laugh off being told he isn’t honest.
Listen to it because sometimes satire says what straight outrage cannot. Listen to it because a man dragging a barrel through the marble halls exposes our collapse more clearly than a thousand editorials.
And maybe listen to it because if we stop laughing at the absurdity, we’ll start drowning in it.
