    The Cult of Moloch: The Dark Religion of Billionaires

    Why do myths of child sacrifice keep appearing wherever power concentrates? In this episode of Radical Leftist Scum, Valdet Selimaj traces a disturbing thread that runs from ancient gods like Baal and Moloch to modern elite power networks. This isn’t a story about superstition — it’s a story about power, secrecy, and the psychology of people who believe they are untouchable. We examine: The historical mythology of Baal and Moloch — and why those archetypes still resonate The role of ritual, secrecy, and taboo in elite inner circles The psychology of power, including the Dark Triad and hubris syndrome The Jeffrey Epstein network and how trafficking can function as leverage and control The Franklin Credit Union scandal and patterns of institutional protection Why extreme exploitation keeps appearing in systems built on wealth and hierarchy This episode separates fact from myth while confronting an uncomfortable question: What happens when power no longer recognizes moral limits? This is not about conspiracy. It’s about patterns. It’s about power. And it’s about the systems that protect themselves at any cost. Listener discretion advised.

    Children Trapped in Trafficking Rings: The Reality Behind the Headlines

    *Trigger Warning* This episode discusses child sexual abuse and trafficking. Please take care of yourself while watching. Child sex trafficking isn’t a Hollywood thriller or QAnon fanfic — it’s kids we’ve already failed: runaway youth, foster kids, homeless youth, queer and trans kids, and children living with abuse at home. In this episode of Radical Leftist Scum, we walk through what the data actually says about missing and exploited children, how kids really get pulled into trafficking rings (family abuse, the “boyfriend” pipeline, homelessness and survival sex, online grooming, and victims being forced to recruit other kids), and what survival and escape look like for children, sometimes called "second generation victims", born into trafficking networks. We also dig into why most people don’t see what’s right in front of them, and what real help looks like: survivor‑led organizations, long‑term trauma‑informed support, safe housing, and policies that make fewer kids disposable in the first place. If you care about “saving the children,” this is where that outrage needs to go. Resources and references: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ValdetSelimaj

    Inside the Epstein Files: Who We Believe — and Who We Erase

    Inside the Epstein files isn’t just about which famous names show up — it’s about whose stories we believe and whose we erase. In this episode, we dig into what the documents and surrounding cases really show about power, impunity, and a justice system that bends to shield elites while demanding impossible proof from survivors. This episode helps echo the voices of the survivors. Building on last week’s “MAGA Hates Thinking,” we unpack MAGA’s mental gymnastics around Trump in the Epstein files, the “What about Bill Clinton?” deflection, and how calls for “real evidence” are weaponized only for their own side. We also get into drugs, trauma, and fragmented memory — why “perfect victims” almost never exist — and how that double standard fits a bigger pattern of over‑policing the powerless while protecting the powerful. By the end, listeners have a sharper lens for reading the Epstein story: what the files can and can’t tell us, how to separate deductive reasoning from partisan faith, and what real accountability would look like if we actually held everyone in those files to the same standard.

    Authoritarianism 101: How “Normal” Gets Manufactured

    Fascism and authoritarianism aren’t some distant future threat—they’re already here, woven into court cases, headlines, and “reasonable” sounding laws that quietly strip people of their rights. In this episode, we break down how authoritarian creep actually works in real life, using the arrests of Black journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, protest crackdowns, anti‑trans laws, abortion bans, and immigration raids as case studies in how cruelty gets disguised as “procedure.” We unpack three core patterns you can spot in the wild: ​Legalistic cruelty – when violence is hidden behind paperwork, court language, and “just enforcing the law.”​Moral panic and culture war – how queer and trans people, migrants, teachers, and protesters get turned into permanent emergencies so the state can justify harsher crackdowns.​Normalization through boredom – how repeated scandals, abuses, and rights violations go from shocking to “that’s just how it is” as people get exhausted and tune out.Along the way, we connect these patterns to the broader rise of fascism in the U.S., the weaponization of laws like the KKK Act, and the ongoing efforts to suppress journalism, protest, and political dissent. This isn’t a call to panic—it’s a call to pay attention. You’ll leave with a clearer lens for recognizing authoritarian tactics, a better sense of why so many people feel numb, and concrete ways to keep using your voice and platforms instead of slipping into “this is just normal now”. If you’re tired of being told you’re “overreacting” while people’s rights are being shredded in real time, this episode is for you. #donlemon #journalism #firstamendment #GeorgiaFort #Fascism #authoritarianism #radicalleftistscum

    Why the Right Hates Smart People: Anti‑Intellectualism in American Politics

    Why does one side of American politics keep attacking teachers, scientists, and “experts”? Why are professors framed as indoctrinators, librarians as threats, and doctors as liars? In this episode, we break down the long-standing tradition of anti-intellectualism on the American right—and why it remains one of the most effective political strategies in modern conservatism. From vaccine denial and the false link between vaccines and autism, to moral panics claiming LGBTQ+ people and teachers are “groomers,” the pattern is the same: when evidence challenges power, the response isn’t debate—it’s delegitimization. Discredit the science. Smear the experts. Teach people to distrust thinking itself. We explore: What anti-intellectualism actually is (and what it isn’t) Why the right consistently targets education, research, and expertise How misinformation campaigns around public health, climate change, and LGBTQ+ rights cause real-world harm Why teachers, scientists, journalists, and librarians are treated as political enemies What research shows about education, cognitive complexity, and political ideology Why authoritarian movements thrive when people distrust nuance, uncertainty, and evidence This isn’t about saying “left = smart, right = dumb.” It’s about understanding how political projects that rely on hierarchy, fear, and misinformation depend on attacking knowledge to survive. If you’ve ever wondered why caring about facts gets labeled “elitist,” why trusting doctors is framed as weakness, or why book bans and culture-war hysteria keep coming back—this episode connects the dots. Because the real threat to authoritarianism isn’t an elite class of experts. It’s ordinary people learning how to think together.

    This is Not Normal

    In this pilot of Radical Leftist Scum, Valdet lays out why the current moment in U.S. politics isn’t just “polarized” or “messy” – it’s structurally authoritarian, and we’re being trained to treat it as background noise,   We dig into how book bans, anti‑trans legislation, attacks on workers, and open corruption get framed as “controversial bills” or “both sides” drama, and how that framing keeps people confused, numb, and supposedly “neutral.” Using psychology, leadership theory, and the mechanics of propaganda, we decode how moral panic, culture‑war outrage, and normalization work together to make the unacceptable feel routine. This isn’t civility politics. It’s clarity. If telling the truth about power makes us radical leftist scum, then fine – we’ll be very precise, very informed scum.
