Hacker, grifter, fascist, troll

Another overdue and lengthy podcast. In this episode, the twins take it back with Gabriella Coleman and chat about the history of Anonymous and the current state of whistleblowing and hacktivism. 

The twins also talk about the continued fallout of Jan 6 and the current state of MAGA in the year since the right-wing insurrection, including a new section, "Where Are They Now?", about the so-called “political prisoners” of Jan 6, portrayed as martyrs by the fascistic GOP.  In seamless transition, the twins then discuss the new version of their game SMASH MAGA.

Also appearing on this podcast is Manilo and Paul of the hardcore band La Armada, whose music is featured throughout the episode. The conversation details the trials and tribulations of the DIY punk scene during the pandemic.
