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.

The Trial of the Gods for Crimes Against Humanity
Why You Should Listen
Imagine Zeus pleading the Fifth, Poseidon flooding the courtroom, and Dionysus swearing on a wine glass. Funny? Yes. Familiar? Uncomfortably so.
This essay stages a Monty Python–style trial of the Greek and Roman gods for their crimes against humanity. But the joke isn’t just divine mischief—it’s a mirror. Every absurd objection, every thunderbolt filibuster, every goat in the jury echoes what we see in our own leaders: impunity, arrogance, and justice played as theater.
We laugh, then we recognize ourselves. And that recognition is the point.
