Minion Death Cult

TODAY: Aaron Thorpe of the Trillbillies joins us to talk sci-fi art, alleged acts of anti-Tesla terrorism, and Minion Death Cult being cancelled for liberalism (supporting unions) We start off with a brief review of Mickey 17 and our mutual childhood love of art and how our nostalgia is Good vs the fascistic nostalgia going around right now THEN: We explore the curious nature of a failing, overpriced car brand with thousands of unsold vehicles with manufacturing defects being suddenly "attacked" by anti-Elon protestors and whether anyone might stand to benefit from these liabilities being written-off as insurance claims. FINALLY: We address the accusations of "liberal bullshit ideology" directed at us via an anti-capitalist facebook page after an old MDC post about organizing your workplace goes viral. We also take a look at the afro-pessimism espoused by the page, whether not knowing how to organize in America is "mayo," and how the fetishization of historic black radicalism can lead to modern apathy and inaction.

TODAY: We follow the white rabbit into a white girl's def MAGA ascended poetry slam, seeing how deep into mystic-narcissistic-personality-disorder-posing-as-politics the rabbithole takes us Is the journey to political revolution contained within the self? Do you actually have to organize or talk with other people to achieve your political goals? Only if you don't know how to make your own enlightened hats, I suppose. ALSO: We follow up on our reactionary Teamsters segment from last week to talk about another kind of American: the temporarily embarrassed CNBC economist We watch more anti-USPS propaganda make its way into Teamsters facebook groups, with many lamenting the lack of "profit" generated by the national service. What makes working people think this way? Can we break the conditioning that causes wage earners to worship profits?

TODAY: Ani joins us to discuss a perplexing dilemma causing vigorous debate online: Do you have to take your daughter fishing even though she's basically a woman and might cramp your style? A mother writes to reddit explaining her daughter no longer wants to spend time with her dad after he refused to take her on a "guys only" fishing trip. Is the daughter really hurt, or is the mother just cheating on her husband? ALSO: We look at Teamsters president Sean O'Brien's recent comments about Right to Work and his support for a labor secretary who defends the anti-union policy. What are teamsters getting out of O'Brien's support for this labor secretary? Is it worth legitimizing the right wing administration? We dredge the depths of Teamster and UPS facebook groups to gauge rank and file reaction to O'Brien's budding relationship with the reactionary forces in Trump's camp and uncover some not-so-convincing arguments for RTW from union members themselves.
