MAGA Debunked

The exciting sequel to last week's episode. Introducing crank intellectual Brooks Adams and his epic work The Law of Civilization and Decay, we take our time machine to #ancientrome, #thecrusades, and anywhere else we feel like in European history. Building from part one's attempt to define what politics is, this one is about why (and how) it went away. Follow @birdfanzines on twitter, maybe send him some new memes for his collection.

We haven't abandoned you, and this time we have a whole new grift, our first multi-part series. The idea here is I present an idea to Mike as though its a thesis defence - the thesis being "not politics', and what that is. This episode is like the introductory chapter. We cover #arendt #hannaharendt, we cover #habermas, we cover the #publicsphere and the stupid old #enlightenment and #ancientgreece. Please say thank you to us for coming back on twitter at @birdfanzines and of course our super wordpress https://tinpolitics.wordpress.com/

Two guys shout at each other about #byungchulhan and his book #psychopolitics. Also of note #bigdata #foucault #panopticon #surveillance #modernity #monet #novels #edwardsnowden and that thing when your phone listens to you and then tries to sell you things that you recently talked about

Okay this was supposed to be a quick chat about how most times you hear a #conspiracytheory about the #deepstate, it is just plain old #geopolitics in action.

By popular demand, the extremely on-time #gamestop episode. But more accurately, we're here to talk about #CapitalistRealism, Mark Fisher's book about the impossibility of imagining any alternative to gambling your stimulus check on reddit with your friends. 

Only one day late, we celebrate #inaugurationday2021 and, like everyone else in the world, rant about the #insurrection that kind of almost happened on #CapitolHill on #January6th. Topics include Cambridge Analytica, Palantir, and Blackwater. Also, we agree that #AdamCurtis and his movie #Hypernormalization is true and good. We're back folks
