From Stalin to Trump: How Tyrants Weaponize Food
Summary:
Dr. Jim isn’t here to sugarcoat anything. In this solo episode, he takes us into the darkest corners of global history and then brings it right back to our front doors. Starvation, he argues, isn’t just a past atrocity. It’s a current political tool.
“If you starve the people, they won't have the energy to fight.” That’s the opening line and the thesis of this searing solo episode. Dr. Jim draws a direct throughline from Stalin, Hitler, and Mao to the current Trump regime’s playbook. This isn’t conspiracy. It’s history repeating itself. Engineered famine isn’t an accident of authoritarianism. It’s a feature. And what we’re seeing right now from government shutdowns to SNAP benefit rollbacks is the scaffolding of a modern hunger plan built to silence dissent and centralize power.
Chapters:
