The Dangerous History Podcast

This DHP episode features an interesting conversation CJ had with a listener named Frank (who’s a physicist currently working in academia) in the aftermath of the 4th & final session of CJ’s recently-concluded DHP Live-ceum course “The Decline & Fall of the Soviet Empire,” in which, following some discussion of details about the end of the USSR, they discuss some of the ways in which US institutions (especially – though not exclusively – academia) have been ideologically captured & thoroughly corrupted & degraded in ways that are reminiscent of Soviet institutions.

Join CJ as he continues his coverage of the life & career of Woodrow Wilson through 1916, culminating in Wilson’s successful-but-close reelection campaign that November. (Apologies for the not-pristine audio — there’s some clipping I didn’t notice during recording. I did my best to clean it up in post, but it’s still a little distorted here & there. I’m using some new hardware — acquired thanks to the generosity of listeners — and am still figuring out how to use it.)

Unfortunately, CJ did not have time to do both an election episode & a Halloween episode this year, so he opted for the latter. (Next October, assuming the DHP is still around & CJ isn’t a homeless beggar, and assuming World War 3 and/or Civil War 2 aren’t disrupting everything, CJ will do Halloween DHP episodes again!) In this off-the-cuff episode, CJ shares some thoughts and historical perspective on the imminent presidential election, viewed primarily through the lens of two important concepts in American political history that he’s covered multiple times on the DHP over the years; namely, civil religion & party systems.

In 1919, the Supreme Court of the United States voted unanimously to uphold the conviction of Socialist Party activists whose only crime was distributing a pamphlet critical of conscription during American participation in the First World War, even though the pamphlet did not advocate any lawbreaking — not even civil disobedience.

What if I told you that we can connect Woodrow Wilson to the Nazis in a single degree of separation? No, this is not the zillionth illustration of Godwin’s Law that you’ve seen this week; it is simply little-known historical fact. In this dose of Dangerous History, we’ll talk about the little-known eugenicist psychiatrist who drafted the eugenics sterilization bill that Woodrow Wilson signed into law in 1911 (during his brief tenure as Governor of New Jersey), and who later collaborated with the Nazis who ran the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp three decades later. Join CJ as he discusses the life and career of Dr. Edwin Katzen-Ellenbogen, and the historical context in which they occurred.
