exactly what I was going to question. I've seen so many other protest get HAMMERED by the police and yet this one was allowed to storm the Capitol? I was even at occupy DC and there was plenty of police and barriers put in place. 

I love you show and hearing your opinions.  I am not a Trump supporter, nor a Democrat, but a Libertarian.  I think you have to consider that some people went to DC not to support Trump, but to support fair elections. These people would not oppose Biden if they believed his honestly won the vote in the disputed states.  They may believe, like me, that if the real voters actually elected Trump, he should have a 2nd term.  Although many or most of Trumps policies are horrible, he should not be removed from office "by any means possible".  How can you deny meddling with votes unless you refuse to consider any evidence? Aren't you just repeating establishment MSM talking points?  Why don't you analyze Giuliani's presentation about the video of John Sullivan? Why don't you consider this was a psyop to prevent evidence of election fraud from being presented in Congress and to the people? Love your show!.

Great critique here. I'm totally in agreement with you.

Wow! Completely amazing reporting. I guess I got my 5 bucks worth.  I liked both of you by yourselves but the two of you together but the two of you together are really a force.  I just wish you had a lot more subscribers.

I have one question to ask. Could you compare the "capitol takeover" to the tactics the USA used in South America in the 1980's or whenever via CIA or any of the other 100's or 1000's of secret agencies the US used and still uses.

@1:50 do I detect traces of Dawn of the Dead in that background music?? xD

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 talk about the surreal events of January 6th: how "Stop the Steal" was the perfect culmination of the QAnon cult with the siege of the Capitol building symbolizing the literal storm, Trump's unhinged speech and coded threats toward Pence, the clear stand down of law enforcement implicating multiple levels of government, tech monopolies purging Trump from social media and the point of no return for our consensus reality.
