PODCAST #135

Participants: John Steppling, Max Parry, Hiroyuki Hamada, Shaenah Batterson, George McIntyre and Dennis Riches. Topics covered: Non-endorsements and vote strikes by people for whom genocide is a red line. Wide acceptance of genocide in an era that lacks public intellectuals. The erasure of race relations and history in recent "historical" dramas (i.e. Bridgerton). The erasure of women in sports and other institutions. Young athletes rushed into adulthood while the adult-aged masses are infantilized. This episode was recorded on the eve of the 2024 US presidential election. Might it stand as a testament to the end of an era? Come what may from the new administration, this election drove a spike into decades-long modus operandi of the Democratic Party. Closing music track: Lonesome Road Blues by Sam Collins (copyright: public domain).
