Growing up in Saudi Arabia as a Pakistani, who now resides in Canada, Eiynah brings a global perspective to discussions about religion, politics, culture & sexuality - through the lens of a progressive ex-muslim immigrant. This podcast often focuses on unpacking various forms of extremism, particularly types that are less overt and masquerading as ‘intellectual’. Eiynah has a specific interest in covering online scenes like New Atheism and the Intellectual Dark Web.

  • Ep - 115 Fascism Disguised as ‘Fighting Antisemitism’

    Ep - 115 Fascism Disguised as ‘Fighting Antisemitism’
    2026/09/18
    With widespread Zionist pressure campaigns and billionaire attempts at controlling our speech & access to information, this topic becomes more urgent by the day.As we saw with the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran situation, with pop star Pink’s entitled tantrum, with the endless condemnations of Mark Ruffalo, Hasan Piker and Abdul El Sayed over completely fabricated allegations of antisemitism — these outrage cycles are based entirely on shielding Israel from criticism (while it commits endless atrocities), not on a principled anti-bigotry stance.This is something that even many western extremism experts are failing to cover or articulate.Join me for an in-depth look at this topic.Find the extended version via patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nicemangos/posts/ep-115-fascism-169848973Links:Mark Ruffalo fires back at Paramount Skydance https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/aug/24/mark-ruffalo-fires-back-paramount-oracle-accused-antisemitic-tropes-israelHasan Piker is being smeared for saying what others have https://youtube.com/shorts/h4IxFPQvtNo?si=BLd3CrroUdPSgjJWWhat Hasan actually said https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social/post/3mtwro633zk2rPink faces backlash after reposting a statement from pro-Israel group https://x.com/qudsnen/status/2097289749463503037?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50LqwPink Criticized After Demanding Ed Sheeran Refund Fans Over Macklemore https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/pink-criticized-demanding-ed-sheeran-132156443.htmlThe smear campaign against Abdul El-Sayed is built on lies, Islamophobia and hate https://www.metrotimes.com/news/the-smear-campaign-against-abdul-el-sayed-is-built-on-lies-islamophobia-and-hate/Oracle exec delights in ‘Scary Technology’ unleashed on Gaza https://youtu.be/t1Rok0IPhiQ?si=mNwlNLXr2E5tcuoDTop Donor to IDF is buying up US media https://youtube.com/shorts/8EAOmMvZRYc?si=hsRuRvQOuHX13pFsGermany approves nearly $1bn in arms exports to Israel https://thecradle.co/articles/germany-approves-nearly-1bn-in-arms-exports-to-israelHow Nicaragua defended its ICJ case accusing Germany of complicity in Israel's genocide https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-nicaragua-defended-icj-case-accusing-germany-complicity-israel-genocideHouse just Voted to Integrate Israel & the US Military https://youtube.com/shorts/7zewIhvs6SE?si=W8PH1ebxhKwe_jnfIsraeli envoy calls Italian magazine antisemitic over settler violence coverage https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-envoy-italy-calls-magazine-antisemitic-over-settler-violence-coverageGenocide Denial in Holocaust Studies https://jacobin.com/2025/01/gaza-genocide-holocaust-studies-germanyBake sales for Gaza could stoke Jew hatred, EU warns https://www.yahoo.com/news/bake-sales-gaza-could-stoke-122320754.htmlLondon hospital takes down artwork by Gaza schoolchildren after complaint https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/27/artwork-gaza-schoolchildren-removed-chelsea-and-westminster-hospitalGuest at Jewish American Summit tells Muslims to GTFO of America https://x.com/middleeasteye/status/2095130486536372645?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50LqwJasper Nathaniel’s call to action for Jewish Americans https://x.com/infinite_jaz/status/2096330117505052709?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50Lqw'Symbolic' UK sanctions on Israel aim to avoid Washington's wrath https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-symbolic-sanctions-israel-avoid-washington-wrathFake US thinktank set up and funded by Israel sought to game AI for propaganda https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/26/fake-thinktank-israel-ai-propagandaIsrael Paying influencers for propaganda https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-influencers-netanyahu/US House passes bill penalizing universities that participate in boycott of Israel https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/03/israel-boycott-university-ban-billUK Lawyers for Israel calls to proscribe Doctors Without Borders as terror group https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-lawyers-israel-calls-ban-doctors-without-borders-terror-group Hosted on Acast.
