Episode 105: The Cambridge Smell PhD

Dec 10 2024 44 mins  
Dr. Ally Louks, a scholar at Cambridge University, created a frenzy online after posing for a selfie with her PhD thesis entitled 'Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose’. Her tweet went viral, with over 120 million views to date. We discuss the backlash and why we think her English Literature PhD caused such a furore. Including... anti-intellect

Episode 104: The Costs of Euthanasia

Dec 05 2024 51 mins  
We respond to Labour MP Pat McFadden's suggestion that anyone wanting to be euthanised should pay for it themselves. We talk package deals, budget deaths, and spectacular deluxe send offs involving planes and assassination-style takedowns. We wonder how the bureaucracy around death will work? What will the safeguards be? Can there be safeguards around death? Jen’s outlines her da

Episode 103: Inheritance Tax on Farmers, Globalisation, and Post-Humanism

Nov 27 2024 58 mins  
The Labour government is set to introduce inheritance tax on farms that will potentially decimate the farming industry in the UK. We take a heretical leftwing position by arguing against this in the name of food sovereignty, productive value, and anti-globalisation. We discuss how the Left used to be the advocates of organic food, free range farming, and have entirely ceded that cu

Episode 102: Trans Intolerance of Ambiguity and the Need to Categorise

Nov 27 2024 37 mins  
We discuss the relationship between transgender ideology's tendency towards categorisation and the black and white concreteness of mind required to buy in to it. The more ambiguous, messier parts of subjectivity can cause a certain ambivalence, for which surgeries, hormones, and cosmetic procedures become a way to make concrete changes to oneself in the hope of splitting off parts

Episode 101: Why Trump Won

Nov 11 2024 77 mins  
Donald Trump won the American Presidential election last week in a landslide victory, winning every swing state, and almost 'flipping' a few others. We discuss how he managed to pull off a feat that most polls and political commentators were not expecting. If Trump's win signals a wider crisis of liberalism, what hope is there for the Democrats to renew themselves and win this side

Episode 100: The Run Up to the U.S Election

Nov 04 2024 55 mins  
The 2024 U.S Election results will be known in just 36 - 48 hours time. We discuss how acrimonious the run up has been, and how dominant online discourse has become in shaping political outcomes. We cover the new normalcy of openly wishing violence on your political opponents or those who differ ideologically to you, how the online sphere has fostered petulance as politics, and why

Episode 99: Am I A Racist? Reviewed

Oct 30 2024 72 mins  
We review Matt Walsh's new documentary uncovering the DEI movement in the United States. 'Am I a Racist?' looks at race relations specifically, and the self-help, grief counselling, Protestant evangelical culture found within the workshops he attends. There is a pessimism at the heart of these DEI sessions, one that has a wider context in capitalist realism, afro-pessimism, and Vic

Episode 98: Being a Feminist in Public and Euthanasia as Socially Constructing Death

Oct 22 2024 79 mins  
The UK's Labour government has announced a proposal to introduce euthanasia for the terminally ill. We approach that in the latter 40 minutes of this episode, after a discussion of what it's like to be a feminist in public. Expressing feminist ideas in public can lead to encountering attention seeking tactics and subsequently becoming blackpilled. We also discuss the combination of

Episode 97: The Insect Attack at LGBA and Why Young Women Become TRAs

Oct 14 2024 60 mins  
Last weekend LGB Alliance Conference was attacked by Trans activists releasing insects at their event. We discuss why LGBA inspires such ire from Trans activists and how this attack was a form of resent-filled revenge after losing Self-ID with the Labour government. We also consider why young women are attracted to Transgender activism and why young T and Q activists are so committ

Episode 96: Are We Living in a Post-Left Era?

Oct 09 2024 54 mins  
Many who once found their political home on the Left feel as if they woke up in a new household, with new inhabitants, and the back garden on fire. Are we in the global North living in a post-Left era? We discuss that prospect, including the political dishonesty and cynicism of the Left today, and the far-Left's turn away from mass politics. Plus, how specifically women's politics
