Ep 09: We Need to Talk About the Fact that Kenneth Roth is and Imperialist Warmonger

Standard

In which I discuss Kenneth Roth’s return to form as a military interventionist who loves the idea of US military involvement as a way of solving problems. Despite everything this implies he still gets treated as a humanitarian hero by the likes of Democracy Now!

I fucked up the video capture so that my face is covering Roth most of the time. I am new to the software and had preview screen showing a very different view. Sorry :-(

We Need to Talk About Fascism: Pt 2

Standard

In the second of two parts I discuss how contemporary fascism doesn’t announce itself; how creeping fascism has come to predominate in the West and other countries; and how once fascism becomes normal normal people become fascists. Eventually society will be one in which the only people who aren’t fascist are the conscious antifascists. Liberals and conservatives, for example, are by no means immune from being fascists.
