Srsly Wrong

This week on the show, the Wrong Boys speak with Canadian Cree-Métis Archaeologist Dr. Paulette Steeves about the evidence for peopling of the Americas, going back at least 60,000 years, but as much as 200,000+ years or more, and talk about the racist colonial biases in Archaeology over the last 100 years that ignored First Nations oral histories in favor of the disproven ‘Clovis-first’ hypothesis.

But there is an earlier law, the 1875 Page Act, which restricted immigration of “prostitutes”, and in practice banned the immigration of Chinese women.

This week, the Wrong Boys team up with the crew from Thiiird Waves to think together about the complexities of workplace and income dynamics and radical politics, touching on the ethics of taking job offers with corporate monopolies, the idea of ‘selling out’, the tensions between collective responsibilities and individual choices, ways in which power can corrupt plans to change things from the inside, and the structure of rejecting unjust orders.

Are human beings innately special little angel babies? “Deep Down” are we good or evil? What does the corrupting influence of power have to do with it? Should we tell loving lies? Does power make us lie even to ourselves about our own lies? All these subjects and more, in this special episode of SRSLY WRONG, for our Donor Community!
