To celebrate the podcast side of Bad Praxis coming back soon, we wanted to publish a premium episode of ours from 11/1/2020. Enjoy this blast from the past and keep an eye our for our fresh new content!

Our guest Jonah lays out a pretty compelling background to the cult ties and connections with white supremacy and right-wing ideology of the attackers, suggesting they did not act as a "lone wolf" as so often reported, instead highlighting the potential role of organized white supremacy or the police. His main source of reading is Tabernacle of Hate: Why They Bombed Oklahoma City, check it out at the library or pick it up used:

In the main portion of this episode, springing off of OKC, Bob expands on the means by which the experiences of NATO's "Gladio" European stay-behind forces in suppression of the left, particularly in Italy, in creating a façade of left-wing violence is being replicated here in the United States domestically today. We explore the remarkable case of Michael Reinoehl as emblematic of this.

One simple thing is clear: Right-wing violence is ignored, while even tangentially left-wing violence is hyper focused upon, giving the veneer of parity between such attacks or to give the appearance of a left-wing siege—either way it's time to stop being epic online about these events and get serious.

In this episode, Kennedy, Chi, and Bob explore the destruction of public ed through means such as assigning kids videos from PragerU—an unaccredited fake university funded by big money to push conservative propaganda—as well as scam charter schools and the white washing history through textbook revision. We share some of our own personal experience of austerity and right-wing propaganda pushed in the classroom, and also the destruction of the natural environment related to the topics glossed over in one of the PragerU courses mentioned in the show which were assigned to students in an Ohio high school.

And then finally, big shout out to Movimiento al Socialismo for their Sunday win over the coup-imposed government in Bolivia! Plus analysis of the upcoming United States election and how it's not at all the same as the experience in Bolivia. Hope you enjoy!!

Hi all!! This is the inaugural episode in a new miniseries hosted by Bob and Kennedy exploring socialism and leftism in red states and rural communities. You're sure to enjoy it and this is your first bite at the apple of this new production.

This episode features Amelia, chi, & Kennedy.

The beginning includes musings on university curriculum and pop culture, and later on we get into some races in Massachusetts which end today, including the Kennedy kid challenge against incumbent Markey, and a shameless attempt at a homophobic ratfucking against progressive House challenger Alex Morse, orchestrated by social climbing college Democrats...and then later, Amelia and chi's grim lay of the 2020 race and what should really be in focus.

And of course, why you should be an annoying Marxist in class.

A note about audio quality: Towards the very of recording our main software crashed, and a backup which includes some inconvenient beeping toward the very end of the episode.

This episode begins with us considering the different realities of quarantine and how its performance does not make one a better person, and then get in to moral black mail over voting for Joe Biden, and finally, the rising star of Matt Gaetz and an emerging right-populism post-2020.

Pls enjoy!

Hey all, this is an episode from a couple of weeks ago with just Kennedy and chi. We all have been dealing with some personal issues that slowed down release and further recordings, but we are planning on another recording this week and are working on scheduling conversations with some really interesting guests for the near future.

This episode broaches some issues with COVID's gendered impact and affect on home life, the ceding of criticism by the liberal opposition of lock-down policy helping to strengthen right-wing populism as they capitalize on real suffering people are enduring, hurricane fascism, and some thoughts on popular media—including the latest insertion of anti-communist hysteria in the second season of Umbrella Academy. Enjoy!

This time Bob, chi, Kennedy jump into the discourse reverberating from the letter released by Harpers and the supposed crisis of free speech looming over universities and the American public at large—is it just to excuse people's bigotry? (yeah). Also some words on the possible reddit career of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Big shout out to Julia Serano and her great piece on free speech being used as a cover for attacking marginalized groups

Another good piece on those preoccupied with 'cancel culture' and a supposed assault on free speech! This was also steeping in our very smooth brains at the time of recording.

In our episode for this week, Kennedy and Bob vibrate on some dark frequencies with re-returning guest Amelia—Alex couldn't make it—who presents many ways in which children are exploited with mass audience online content engineered for kids, being exposed to desensitizing violence, sexual content, and rampant advertising.

While some may at first not be familiar with the topics, they become quite clear and animated as they're introduced through the podcast. For great further reading and video essays on the topic however, please check out the following materials explaining how  Jake Paul, Lele Pons, and YouTube Kids content mills promote advertising to children by broadcasting questionable content:

Back again...again?? We discuss in this episode Matt Gaetz and his large Cuban son (legal) Nestor and how that's totally not weird. 👁️

We also go in a bit on leftist electoral prospects in upcoming primaries and beyond, plus the strange selections of "Warren Democrats."
