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.

No Cathedral Built Itself
Why You Should listen to No Cathedral Built Itself
Because nothing worth keeping is built overnight.
Because your life, your conscience, your community—they’re cathedrals rising one stone at a time.
This essay is about the slow, sacred work that outlives us. The kind of labor Gaudí began, knowing he would never see the end. The kind of patience and integrity that builds character across a lifetime, and community across generations.
It’s not a sermon about perfection. It’s a meditation on presence. On showing up, day after day, even when the progress is invisible.
If you’ve ever felt small in the face of the world’s enormity, this piece is a reminder: every kindness is a stone, every act of courage a beam, every refusal to betray conscience a window catching the light.
Listen o this if you need to remember that your work matters, even if you never see the spire rise.
