Because the World’s on Fire—But Your Soul Doesn’t Have to Be

Welcome to Light Against Empire—not just a newsletter, but a spiritual dispatch for the morally exhausted and the quietly defiant.

We live in an age where cruelty is policy, gaslight is gospel, and power preens while the powerless pray for one good day. If you’ve ever felt like your conscience is whispering in a world that only rewards the loud and the shameless, then Light Against Empire is for you.

When you become a free subscriber, you’ll receive:

🌖 Light Against Empire

Our namesake dispatch. Part balm, part backbone. It’s where we remind each other—through essays, reflections, and spiritual clarity—that kindness isn’t weakness, truth isn’t noise, and grace still matters.
It’s not religious.
It’s not partisan.
It’s a moral lantern swinging in the dark.

🌑 Chronicles of Collapse

The sister dispatch. Gritty, blunt, sometimes searing. This is where satire, history, and civic realism join forces to document the political decay around us without numbing the spirit. It’s not doomerism—it’s diagnosis, outrage, and a refusal to go quietly.

🔥 Light Against Empire - The Podcast

The hearth of it all. A rotating lens of commentary—sometimes urgent, sometimes reflective—offering context and clarity on current events. It also features curated readings and spoken-word selections from Light Against Empire and Chronicles of Collapse. If the other two are dispatches, this is the voice by the fire saying, “Let me tell you a story.”

Welcome to Light Against Empire—part beacon, part battle cry. If you’ve ever whispered, “This can’t be normal,” you’re not alone. We expose the spectacle, honor what’s real, and shine through the smoke of manufactured fear.
