We take on the popularity of Khabib among immigrant and Muslim communities and discuss his connection to dictators. We analyze the need for strongmen-type heroes and what it reveals about masculinity and feeling powerless. We breakdown Borat and his satire focusing on the ways he reinforces stereotypes even as he’s claiming to expose the powerful. Finally we link the conversation to the ongoing debate in France and Macron.
