The Cruel Philosophr

International law is treated like a global rulebook — but what happens when the most powerful country on Earth decides it doesn't apply? In this episode, I'm sitting in the dark with the mic in my hand, giving you the hard dose most won't. Using recent U.S. actions in Venezuela as a case study, I break down why "international law" only exists when power allows it — and vanishes when it doesn't. This isn't partisan rage or a straight news recap. It's a raw philosophical take on power, empire, and the dangerous logic of "might makes right." As a proud Black American patriot with no other country to fall back on, I wrestle with why loving America doesn't mean cheering every intervention — and why this precedent should worry every U.S. citizen. In this episode, we dive into: Why no one can actually enforce international law on superpowers How oil, resources, and narratives drive foreign policy Patriotism vs. blind loyalty to government actions Whether the president even has authority to drag the country into these moves Nationalism, global humanity, and where to draw the line 📍 Timestamps 02:20 – Venezuela and the illusion of global rules 05:01 – I don't need to know about venezuela 08:38 – Trump doesn't have the authority to declare war 12:18 – "Might makes right," oil, and empire 18:38 – America does not need to dominate the globe Share your thoughts: cruelphilosophr@gmail.com (no "e" in philosophr) 🎧 If this episode made you think, consider subscribing, rating the show, or telling two friends — that's how audio like this spreads.

In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to create in a world where algorithms decide what gets seen, heard, or buried. From censoring words to forcing myself into niches I don't care about, I talk about the quiet ways creators lose their voice in order to survive online—and why I'm pushing back.

Jason Whitlock recently did a show on fearless where he made some interesting comments regarding slavery. According to him, Black Americans should be grateful that our ancestors suffered through slavery since it lead to us being born Americans. Does he have a point? (7:38) Later in the show, I discuss the show Adolescence and why I disagree with everyone who believes this show provides any good analysis on the redpill/manosphere space. (32:41) Enjoy the podcast?
