Our latest episode: The world order is changing as the United States pulls back and consolidates. But why are America's allies talking like they're all about to go their own way when they're still stuck with the US? Here's what "elites" left out at Davos.

Voters more readily buy into the "populist" idea that a tightly networked elite runs things because the social bases that once underpinned politics have evaporated.
Liberal democratic politics thus appears more clearly as it really is: detached from & antagonistic to society.
@TeamYouTube Our latest video uses the term “world order” in the academic international relations sense.
We are directly quoting world leaders like the Prime Minister of Canada and other heads of state at the @wef.
It got an AI-detected “New World Order” conspiracy flag.
In actual fact, what's *striking* about #Davos26 is how much all of these world leaders seem to agree about the general shape of the future. US, Canada, Europe. The same broad vision.
Carney's speech is a perspective on dealing with the same kind of future Lutnick put forward.
99% of Trump's foreign policy is based on managing relative US decline on the most favourable terms possible to the US.
What upsets many politicians & pundits is that he's so open about it, rather than pretending the US can simply continue forever as the universal hegemon.
Do today’s populist parties reflect a broader social movement or function instead as scavengers capitalizing on the political hollowing-out of the establishment?

Let’s say they’re building for AOC 2028. That would explain Obama’s intervention, tacitly chiding Schumer while trying to culvert that dissident energy back to the centre. Surely it’s not beyond the radical left to use these events as springboards to immediate action?
In this episode, we talk about the current state of Democratic Party opposition, and why efforts to "reset" the party's brand after the election are failing.

Well, that didn’t take long. Several German politicians are already calling for their country to resume its old ties with Russia, and the likely next Chancellor is doing little to contradict them.
Is Germany heading for a Russia reset? I ask @unherd 👇

From South Korea’s failed declaration of martial law to Romania’s cancelled elections, from protests rocking Georgia to the fall of Syria’s Assad regime, the past month has been marked by instability and mounting challenges to establishment parties.

In this episode we compare two articles on Carter as an antipolitical figure:
1977’s "Jimmy Carter Revealed: Rockefeller Republican" by Christopher Lydon
2023’s "Jimmy Carter Revolutionized Politics. We’re Still Paying the Price" by @henrymjtonks
