  • This Wreckage?

    Pretty good show. A gem in a desert of backups coal. Loved the recent interview with Adrian. Sometimes I wish they’d do a lil more thinking and push more pressing questions when interviewing people like Phil Neel and also that’d they’d give the radlib republic stuff a rest, but still good.

  • Fascism of Academic Jargon

    As usual the leftosphere has little to offer but jargon, theory and intellectual detachment, and no apparent grasp of what’s really going on or how to confront it. The planet itself is literally dying; elites are planning for the post-future, but you guys are still sitting here navel-gazing. If you don’t see that the coming war will be waged by the global north on the global south, you’re simply useless and irrelevant.
