Orde Wingate was an insane person who thought exercise would cure malaria, wore a necklace of raw onions and garlic, and carried an alarm clock that would go off at random times like he was the Mad Hatter. He was also a commander of one of the most famous British military units during the Second World War.

Episode 299 - Orde Wingate and the Chindits: Part 1

Contributing editor for the New Republic and columnist for The Guardian Osita Nwanevu returns to the show. We look at a new New Yorker piece on Joe Biden’s last campaign, and the president’s defiant refusal to change gears, adjust policies, or really do anything to address rather dismal polling ahead of the election. Then, switching to the republicans, we look at the increasingly weird and anti-social tact of American conservatism and ask: can the modern right be assimilated into American culture?

Episode 335: Elbit Horrors

What if there was a videogame so indistinguishable from the real world that anyone who played it began to wonder if their entire life was nothing more than a game?  What if there was a movie that, in depicting this, stumbled upon the unnerving truth of our present relationship to the internet?  What if that movie came out one month after The Matrix and totally bombed while the Matrix would go on to release three sequels and establish the language of conspiracy theory culture?  Get your bio-port fitted, lube up your game-hole and jack into this week’s QAA movie night, “eXistenZ.”

After months of anti-Palestinian repression, raids, arrests, and pictures of crusty antifa types with Israeli flags, we attempt to figure out the roots and solutions to the philosemitic fever gripping Germany’s media and political class.

Episode 364: What's Up With Germany: Part 1 (preview)

Israel is carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people and "systematic destruction of every aspect necessary to sustain life in Gaza", United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese detailed in her report titled "Anatomy of a Genocide". Ben Norton analyzes the political context.
