The Shocking Rise of Left-Wing Extremism in America

This interview was recorded before the news of Charlie Kirk’s m*rder, but its insights into political extremism remain highly relevant. This episode examines extremism in American politics today. Max Horder discusses the phenomenon of 'Luigi-ism', a term he coined to describe a troubling trend of extremism and its cultural implications. He explains how Luigi Mangione became a cultural icon to the far left, reflecting a growing acceptance of extremism in political discourse. The discussion also contrasts left-wing and right-wing extremism, exploring the psychological and sociological factors driving these behaviours. Horder emphasises the role of social media in shaping perceptions and justifications for extremism, and warns of increasing polarisation in American society, leading to greater conflict. #americanpolitics #extremism #politicalviolence #facts Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro and Setup 00:52 – The Rise of Luigi-ism 08:50 –Understanding the Phenomenon of Luigiism 15:09 – Comparing Left-Wing and Right-Wing Extremism 19:26 – The Nature of Left-Wing Extremism 23:20 – Analysing the Numbers of Max's Survey 33:00 – The Role of Social Media in Political Extremism 39:05 – "CEO down", "Luigi'd" and Other Concerning Memes 46:24 – Future Implications of Political Polarisation 52:06 – More About Max Horder and The NCRI *** FACTUAL AMERICA PODCAST *** Factual America uses documentary filmmaking to examine the American experience as well as universal topics that affect all Americans.
