Patrick Casey: Third Worldism on the Right
I talk w/ Patrick Casey, Paleoconservative & host of Restoring Order, about the rise of Third World-ism among those on the right, joining in on what has traditionally been more of a left wing movement.This trajectory by online pundits being both from the support provided by audiences in the Global South as well as genuine belief in a Duginist Eurasian bloc to preserve "tradition" against modernity.We will also discuss Patrick's own intellectual journey & whether there can be a unity among those who oppose this anti-Western movement.--Patrick Caseyhttps://x.com/restoreorderusahttps://www.patrickcasey.com/Lev Polyakovhttps://twitter.com/Levpohttps://levpo.substack.com/http://youtube.com/levpolyakov--Consider Supporting BTR by:Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over athttp://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping!FOLLOW BTR:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/breaktherulesDISCORD: https://discord.gg/hHTNg3MTwitter - http://twitter.com/breakth3rulesSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0yovF9Vo8n1fF1DGlMuWBhApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/break-the-rules/id1543233584

Who Did Epstein Work For? Adam Crigler & Park MacDougald
A discussion on the Jeffrey Epstein networks, as well as exploring where public attention is being redirected by turning Epstein into a symbolic totem for vague “elite Satanism,” instead of following the concrete power networks, money flows, intelligence relationships, and state interests that actually sustained his operation.We examine how parts of the alternative media ecosystem funnel outrage toward theatrical villains and metaphysical abstractions, while avoiding harder questions about geopolitical leverage, kompromat, blackmail infrastructure, and the role of state and quasi state actors in shaping narratives after Epstein’s death.Adam Criglerhttps://x.com/AdamCriglerPark MacDougaldhttps://x.com/hpmcd1Lev Polyakovhttps://twitter.com/Levpohttps://levpo.substack.com/--Consider Supporting BTR by:Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over athttp://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping!FOLLOW BTR:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/breaktherulesDISCORD: https://discord.gg/hHTNg3MTwitter - http://twitter.com/breakth3rulesSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0yovF9Vo8n1fF1DGlMuWBhApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/break-the-rules/id1543233584

American Breaking Point | Auron Macintyre & Rio Veradonir
Watch on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_mqIiVtcskThe United States may be approaching a genuine breaking point.Across the country, two increasingly irreconcilable visions of America are colliding: one side demanding order, enforcement, and the restoration of state while the other viewing enforcement itself as illegitimate, immoral, or existentially dangerous.To explore this divide, Break The Rules brings together two voices who both want a high-trust society, but disagree sharply on how such a society can be rebuilt.Auron MacIntyre: a political writer and commentator focused on state capacity, legitimacy, and institutional breakdown in the modern West. He has contributed to The Blaze and other outlets, and has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight and related programs discussing law, enforcement, and the limits of liberal governance.He is the author of The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies (2024), a critical examination of how modern liberal democracies can drift toward authoritarian outcomes through emergency powers, bureaucratic expansion, and weakened constitutional constraints. Drawing on his experience as a journalist during the Trump presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic, MacIntyre analyzes censorship, surveillance, selective enforcement, and the growth of unaccountable administrative power, questioning whether democratic systems reliably restrain authority—or instead enable its expansion under crisis conditions.https://x.com/AuronMacintyrehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1684515580?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_5Q231Q8CQ65W8Z0PTQ3HRio Veradonir: a political organizer, producer, and advisor working across multiple civic and advocacy organizations. He is the Founder and Editor of Queer Majority, a political publication focused on inclusion and liberal democratic values, and serves with the A.D. Bi Foundation. Rio is also a Producer at Bi.org, the world’s largest bisexual advocacy organization, and the Lead Organizer of amBi, a national bisexual social and political network. In addition, he serves as an Advisor to Project Liberal and Illinois Values, where his work centers on civic engagement, coalition-building, civil liberties, and the preservation of democratic norms in polarized societies.https://x.com/RioVeradonirhttps://substack.com/@veradonirLev Polyakov (Host & Editor / Animator)https://twitter.com/Levpohttps://levpo.substack.com/http://youtube.com/levpolyakov--Consider Supporting BTR by:Becoming a Parton: https://www.patreon.com/breaktherules🥓 Get some scrumptious Biltong (South African Jerky) over athttp://biltongusa.com/ w/ Code: BTR☕ Buying the most delicious coffee ever at https://jamnbean.com w/ Code: BTR10Both codes give you 10% Off & Free Shipping!FOLLOW BTR:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/breaktherulesDISCORD: https://discord.gg/hHTNg3MTwitter - http://twitter.com/breakth3rulesSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0yovF9Vo8n1fF1DGlMuWBhApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/break-the-rules/id1543233584
