Novara FM: The Age of Disaster Nationalism w/ Richard Seymour

Richard Seymour, writer and founding editor of Salvage magazine, discusses the rise of disaster nationalism, where catastrophes are exploited for political gain. He highlights how far-right movements scapegoat marginalized groups, linking these tactics to historical and contemporary events like the Gujarat riots and UK protests. Seymour critiques neoliberalism’s impact on social connection and calls for the left to harness collective resentment into meaningful action. His insights draw alarming parallels between today’s climate of fear and the past, urging a united response to systemic oppression.
