The Brian D. O’Leary Show
November 22, 2022
O’Leary argues that we, as a culture or a society, put entirely too much trust in failed institutions—the three-legged stool of failure…
Democratic government
The schools
The corporate media
Thus, a cultural degradation that affects everything else around us because of what makes up this “stool.”

Political philosopher mentioned:

November 19, 2022The Brian D. O'Leary Show - November 18, 2022 - Deconstructing the Myth of the Spanish Civil War and how it informs us today
The Brian D. O’Leary Show
November 17, 2022
We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we’ve been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War.
Continuing the discussion from earlier in the week, we reference an article in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.
The Myth of the Spanish Civil War. One of the last great leftist myths of the 20th century is that the Spanish Civil War was a struggle of republican democracy against nationalist fascism. In reality, it was a violent mass-collectivist revolution put down by Spanish moderates and conservatives. By Stanley G. Payne
We’ve been told that the major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.
We will put a bookmark in our discussion of the Spanish War on Friday and introduce a new topic next week.
I hope to have more resources of what we talked about this week soon enough. We will publish a newsletter in the next few days on this subject, so if you are looking to delve into this subject deeper, remember to join us at my Substack page: https://briandoleary.substack.com/

The Brian D. O’Leary Show
November 17, 2022
We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we’ve been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War.
Continuing the discussion from yesterday’s show, we reference an article in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.
The Myth of the Spanish Civil War. One of the last great leftist myths of the 20th century is that the Spanish Civil War was a struggle of republican democracy against nationalist fascism. In reality, it was a violent mass-collectivist revolution put down by Spanish moderates and conservatives. By Stanley G. Payne
We’ve been told that the major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.
Today we talk more about fascism and how it may be defined. We reference books by Paul E. Gottfried (Fascism: The Career of a Concept) and Stanley G. Payne (Fascism: Comparison and Definition & Franco and Hitler: Spain, Germany, and World War II).
Professor Payne wrote the article we’ve been talking about all week. Professor Gottfried is the editor-in-chief of Chronicles.
We will put a bookmark in our discussion of the Spanish War on Friday and introduce a new topic next week.

November 17, 2022The Brian D. O'Leary Show - November 16, 2022 - Fascism & Antifascism
The Brian D. O’Leary Show
November 16, 2022
We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we’ve been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War.
Longer show than normal today, clocking in right around 40 minutes. We like to have these daily shows a bit shorter…at 20-30 minutes, but we went overtime today. Please accept the apologies of the staff and enjoy the show in the meantime.
Continuing the discussion from yesterday’s show, we reference an article in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.
The major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.
Today we dive into what fascism is and what it is not. We also delve into the topic of “antifascism” so-called.
The rest of this week will be devoted to analysis of this article and will get into some parallels we see between the lead-up to the Spanish War and our culture today. It is analogous, but certainly not one-for-one.

November 16, 2022The Brian D. O'Leary Show - November 15, 2022 - Myths of the Spanish Civil War
The Brian D. O’Leary Show
November 15, 2022
This is the second show of the second week in our new daily podcast. We’ve shelved the idea of livestreaming these shows…for the time being.
Brian will talk about that on a future episode…logistically it works better for everyone at this point to do a podcast without a live element. That may change in the future. We welcome feedback from our listeners on this as well.
One of the beautiful things about podcasting is that it is NOT live… It’s not radio, it’s podcasting.

The Brian D. O’Leary Show
November 14, 2022
If you’re new, we just started doing a daily show as well. This is the first show of the second week. We’ve shelved the idea of livestreaming these shows…for the time being.
Brian will talk about that on a future episode…logistically it works better for everyone at this point to do a podcast without a live element. That may change in the future. We welcome feedback from our listeners on this as well.
One of the beautiful things about podcasting is that it is NOT live… It’s not radio, it’s podcasting.
Today we get into a couple of subjects we came across in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.
The impending removal of Moses Ezekiel’s monument, “The South,” at Arlington National Cemetery.
The major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.
We left off in our discussion of the Spanish War about midstream, so we will get back to it later this week, hopefully for Tuesday’s show.

We had our first livestream today, but it was rife with technical difficulties. We re-recorded and talked a little bit about Herschel Walker—mostly about Herschel the football player, not Herschel the political candidate.

Today, O’Leary gives us some of his thoughts on the aftermath of mid-term elections and how politics and football are similar—most people don’t know the rules, but they participate and root as if they do. Not a perfect analogy, but we flesh it out a little bit…
