The Convo Couch has lost the plot with the election fraud against Trump. lol

I couldn't understand how many Latinos thought Trump handled it better when he only gave on monthly payment? Was it the hope that he would do that? 

The Electoral College would have existed without slavery. Concentration of power within voting groups can be as tyrannical as a king.

We're joined again by political satirist Tom Walker to discuss: A chemical spill on a bullet train, a wine catastrophe at a dinner party, and one man's penis. Plus: A little bit of Headline News.

Episode 268: Why Google Sucks Now feat Ed Zitron

"Ex-officer Amber Guyger testifies in wrong-apartment murder trial: 'I was scared to death,'" a " story reported in 2019. "Starbucks Files Complaints with Labor Board, Accuses Union Organizers of Bullying and Harassment," reported Food & Wine Magazine in April 2022. "Labour MPs fear for safety as pro-Palestine protesters target offices," The Guardian warned in November 2023

Within the last decade, we’ve seen the rise of a phenomenon we’ll refer to as “elite crybullying," in which people in power engage in political manipulation in order to portray themselves as victims. Routinely, we hear that armed American police fear for their safety around unarmed civilians, lawmakers feel for the their safety after there's a sit in protest and corporate executives are being unfairly intimated by union organizers. 

It's a sleazy, manipulative tactic that not only flattens, but flips, power dynamics. By claiming to have been bullied or traumatized by those who oppose them, wealthy and influential figures suddenly transform themselves from victimizers into victims. Meanwhile, by this same perverse logic, they characterize their actual victims–be they organizing workers and peace activists, who merely seek to stand up for themselves, or people killed by military and police violence – as victimizers.

On this episode, we explore the rise of ruling-class crybullyism, how elites increasingly traffic in the language of anti-bullying and therapy-speak to indemnify themselves from criticism, examine how cynical distortions of power relations recast the upholders of colonialism, labor abuses, and police violence as the oppressed, and the people who dare to object as the oppressors, all in an effort to silence dissent from the justifiably angry masses. 

Our guests are Mari Cohen and Saree Makdisi.

Episode 199: The Golden Age of Crybullyism

We take a look at the apocalyptic scheme of psycho Christian Americans and kooky Israeli nationalists to sacrifice a beautiful red cow and bring about the end of the world.

Episode 373: Red, Dead, Redemption!

Abby and Robbie Martin give an in-depth analysis of the absurdly drawn out 2020 presidential election, the complete MAGA meltdown in response to a Biden victory, and what it all means for the left.

Intro music: Zoviet France - Something Spooked the Horses & Philip Glass - Candyman OST opening theme
