Ep 200 - Hans-Hermann Coppe
Added 2022-12-07 11:00:00 +0000 UTCIt's an unhappy 200th birthday for us, we do a postmortem of the little rail strike couldn't. Is the blame on the squad, Brandon, the unions, or the workers themselves? And what comes next for rail workers and class struggle in general?
Then in the second half we propose a few theories of Musk's Twitter takeover: Thiel-pilled fascist Musk, Hannah Arendt high-liberalism Musk, Gordon Gecko-style corporate raider Musk, Henry Ford productivist-futurist Musk (and why ultimately we believe none of it really matters.)
Song: Annie Lennox - Train in Vain

I've commented on twitter before about how one of the most melancholic feelings of late capitalism is when your podcast friends retreat behind the paywall to continue the discussion without you. It was a real pleasure to join you both this time around

2022-12-08 02:37:18 +0000 UTCAs in one of the cops was high fiving one of the fascists and flashing the OK sign, besides just generally having chummy conversations with them (but not with any of us on the anti fascist side). These actions were caught on video. One lady asked the cop why he was high fiving them and he told her “they were complimenting my mustache.” Our police have been on a murder spree for years now so of course none of this is remotely surprising.

Love and solidarity.
