Ep 216 - Rotterdam America
🕑 Added 2023-06-14 10:00:04 +0000 UTCA news roundup--we start by talking about Sean's psychedelic encounter with a woke Civil War statue, the recent Supreme Court decisions on the Voting Rights Act and Teamsters, the West Coast port shutdowns and dynamics of portworker labor in the US, and the upcoming UPS strike as a potential opening salvo of the final battle of organized labor. We then discuss the recent trans panic in light of the history of queer liberation, and our cis blindspot on the issue.
In the bonus half, we discuss the legacy of Ted K in US anarchism, and a related analysis of AI. Enjoy!
