We Just Watched... The Batman (With Jeff May)

Jorge from Everybody Loves Communism comes on for another jaw dropping reading series. Imperialism. What is it? In what ways is it like the enemies from the Final Fantasy franchise?

Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism w/ @LineGoesDown

YO! Our public episode this week got FUBAR'd due to some scheduling problems but that makes this a perfect opportunity to release something from our patreon feed by POPULAR demand. I (Jake) made this a while back after playing the video game Disco Elysium and people seemed to like it. If you hate this and want us to get back to calling Barack Obama "cheugy" or whatever don't worry, we'll be back to that next week. Here's the original description:

----------------------------------------------------------

That's right, we're youtube video essayists now. Not really, there's no video, you don't have to watch me dressed up like Evrart Claire or whatever for an hour during this, it's just a podcast. I (Jake) played Disco Elysium recently and decided I wanted to make something to process its rich marxist themes and whatnot so here we are. That said, MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING, if you have not played this video game and think you might want to at some point, you may not want to listen to this, as the whole plot is dissected. If you're a Disco E freak or you're just curious though, enjoy.

Everything you remember about the Cambridge Analytica scandal is probably wrong—from its power to swing elections to the so-called whistleblower who saved democracy. Julian Feeld of The QAnon Anonymous Podcast is back to discuss their major revelations about this memory-holed story.

Her friend Zoe aka @zoebroogs joins us to discuss the story and its larger implications regarding a mysterious cyber security firm, Saudi Arabia, religion, the internet, and more, as well as just to discuss and celebrate her life.
