About this listen

In this episode, we begin with the leaked NY Young Republicans group chat that revealed racist, antisemitic, and violent messages among group members. The group has since been disbanded, but the incident exposes how extremist ideologies continue to exist within modern political spaces.

From there, we connect fiction to reality, examining how Star Wars illustrates the same authoritarian playbook used throughout history and today. Palpatine’s rise to power through chaos, fear, and manipulation mirrors how real-world leaders exploit crises to gain control.

This episode explores how propaganda, misinformation, and the illusion of order erode democracy from within, and what it means when history’s darkest lessons start repeating.
