Light Against Empire - The Podcast
Welcome to Light Against Empire – the Podcast—part reckoning, part resistance. If you've ever felt the chill of rising power dressed as patriotism, you're not imagining it.

The Dead Still Vote in America: Electoral Myths and Modern Necromancy
Why You Should Listen
Because America’s elections aren’t haunted by fraud, they’re haunted by ghosts. This essay pulls back the velvet curtain on our most sacred political ritual and reveals what’s really happening behind the patriotic pageantry: a full-blown séance disguised as democracy.
You’ll meet the restless spirits who still cast their ballots from beyond the grave — the Founders, the Confederates, the mythic “Real Americans” who keep showing up to decide the future they no longer have to live in. You’ll see how nostalgia becomes a weapon, how “heritage” becomes policy, and how laws written in the name of integrity often serve to silence the living.
It’s funny until it isn’t.
It’s absurd until you realize it’s true.
If you’ve ever felt like our politics are being run by ghosts, this piece won’t comfort you. But it will remind you why the living have to keep voting — loudly, imperfectly, defiantly — until democracy belongs to the breathing again.
