Riffing in the Dark w/ Sina Rahmani
🕑 Added 2025-06-19 06:30:44 +0000 UTCSina Rahmani of The East is a Podcast and Red Media had planned to come on the show before this, and in light of the Zionist entity’s unprovoked attack on his ancestral country of Iran in violation of international law I offered him every chance to back out, but hardworking podcaster that he is, he joins us for some light vibing and riffing and unstructured meditations about, among other things, the unexpected similarities between the entity and postwar Japan, as well as the bright future that I nevertheless hope for in the latter (my adopted homeland in my recovering-settler existence)—which future must lie beyond the whiteness that Japan too has claimed for itself in the postwar, thereby following a path of delusion that many MENA countries are still being forced down today pending the working and peasant classes rising up and showing the way.

It's so ambiguous though from a Japanese perspective because it also was basically the bible of Japan's bourgeois revolutionaries in the Mysterious Ocean Society and the Amoy River Club

2 of my favorites do a crossover here. Glad you did this one! I've been really curious about Water Margin and hope you do an episode on it. Supposedly it was one of Mao's favorite books.

I deleted it, thanks for checking! I’m reevaluating how I want to release it:I think I’ll make it free and revise the description
