Ep. 0273: Civil Religion, Party Systems, & the 2024 Election
10/31/2024

Unfortunately, CJ did not have time to do both an election episode & a Halloween episode this year, so he opted for the latter. (Next October, assuming the DHP is still around & CJ isn’t a homeless beggar, and assuming World War 3 and/or Civil War 2 aren’t disrupting everything, CJ will do Halloween DHP episodes again!)

In this off-the-cuff episode, CJ shares some thoughts and historical perspective on the imminent presidential election, viewed primarily through the lens of two important concepts in American political history that he’s covered multiple times on the DHP over the years; namely...


Archetopical Ep. 1: The Hero’s Journey
10/22/2024

A few weeks ago, CJ FINALLY won the War of Art when it came to starting a second podcast, something he’s been seriously thinking about & planning for over 5 years.

The podcast is called Archetopical, and has its own separate podcast feed from the DHP. You can find it here, or search for it wherever you consume your audio podcasts. (And if you can’t find it on your favorite podcatcher, shoot CJ an email to let him know where you can’t find it & he’ll try to rectify that.)

CJ’s first Archetopical episode (n...


Ep. 0272: Young Kamala & the Rainbow Sign
10/15/2024

Join CJ as he discusses the real political origin story of Kamala Harris, which is Establishment-approved Corporatist Progressivism (NOT communism!)

DHP Special: Revisiting “The Iron Law of Oligarchy”
09/30/2024

In this episode, CJ revisits DHP Episode 34, “The Iron Law of Oligarchy,” from 2014, in preparation for an upcoming mini-series on oligarchy & CJ’s argument that modern democracy is just oligarchy with extra steps.

Join CJ as he discusses:

A little bit about German sociologist Robert Michels, who first described this law The Iron Law of Oligarchy as described by Michels in his early-20th century book Political Parties The Iron Law of Oligarchy in other contexts Some noteworthy exceptions to the Iron Law that various scholars have found, including the International Typographical Union, the New Left studen...


DHP Special: A Cowboy in the Jungle Looks at 43/”Knowledge is Power”
09/18/2024

Yesterday CJ turned 43. Unfortunately, he was sick on his birthday (and still is today), but he decided to look into the vault of vintage DHP episodes to see what DHP Ep. 43 was, and lo & behold, it was a Fun-Size Silver Bullet episode from 2014 that’s quite evergreen & may be even more relevant today than ever, so he decided to reissue it on the podcast feed along with a new intro & some important announcements

“Knowledge is power”: There’s more depth to the old cliche than there might appear at first glance.

Join  CJ as he discusses...


Ep. 0271: Schencking the First Amendment
09/13/2024

In 1919, the Supreme Court of the United States voted unanimously to uphold the conviction of Socialist Party activists whose only crime was distributing a pamphlet critical of conscription during American participation in the First World War, even though the pamphlet did not advocate any lawbreaking — not even civil disobedience.

09/11/2024

Ep. 0269: Woodrow Wilson’s Eugenicist: The Curious Case of Dr. Edwin Katzen-Ellenbogen
09/11/2024

What if I told you that we can connect Woodrow Wilson to the Nazis in a single degree of separation?

No, this is not the zillionth illustration of Godwin’s Law that you’ve seen this week; it is simply little-known historical fact.

In this dose of Dangerous History, we’ll talk about the little-known eugenicist psychiatrist who drafted the eugenics sterilization bill that Woodrow Wilson signed into law in 1911 (during his brief tenure as Governor of New Jersey), and who later collaborated with the Nazis who ran the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp three decades later...
