THEME:
Anger, patriarchy, race, and power
America’s Drift Toward Fascism
This episode of NiteShift examines America’s long and ongoing relationship with fascism, racial violence, and authoritarian power—past and present. Through historical case studies, contemporary policy changes, media analysis, and speculative fiction, the conversation explores how racism, religion, capitalism, and state power intersect to shape lived reality in the U.S. The show also looks at how media—both traditional and social—frames public understanding, and how science fiction often reflects truths that mainstream discourse avoids.
