DOOMER V. BLOOMER

As you may have been able to guess by the long, unannounced hiatus, this project has reached its conclusion. It is no more. Here is one last DvB episode for you to listen to and enjoy. But worry not, this is not the last you’ve heard from Kami and Franz. Listen in to find out what we’ll each be doing next and where to find our future projects. <3

Check out one of the latest podcasts to join to the Channel Zero Network: You Don't Need Permission! Franz also appears on a couple episodes in season one, so look for those as well :)

- Why is there a need for revolutionary change? Can't capitalism simply be reined in by governments? Turns out the answer is no, actually. Joshua talks with Franz of the podcast Doomer V Bloomer about why reform is impossible and revolution is the only way. -

- For a more in-depth analysis on how business interests manipulate public policy, check out Srsly Wrong's episode Business Confidence and Capital Strikes: https://srslywrong.com/podcast/231-business-confidence-capital-strikes-w-michael-schwartz-and-kevin-a-young/ -

- You Don't Need Permission is now proud to be a member of the Channel Zero Podcast Network. https://channelzeronetwork.com/ -

- Theme music is "You Can (Mass Trespass 1932)" by Chumbawamba, used (ironically) with permission.

In this episode we talk about (okay, mostly complain about) the anti-civilization and anti-utopian pamphlet: Desert by Anonymous. Is this a doomer text, or can both bloomer and doomer agree that it goes too far? We tried to be fair with our critiques but sectarianism got the better of us and we engage in some shit talking, please forgive us.

What's the deal with empathy? Can empathy be used as a force for good or is it too affected by our negative biases? What are empaths and why are they so self important?

This is a main plot episode, not a filler episode, folks. Franz and Kami talk about dystopia and utopia as genres and lenses for understanding the world and how these concepts intersect with doom and bloom. Part two in our informal series on science fiction.

As our own little form of escapism from the current political turmoil, we explore the question: should outer space be abolished? We discuss sci-fi, space travel and technology. Kami comes out as a bloomer and Franz comes out as a luddite.

We recorded this the weekend before protests started in Kenosha, and now its feels silly to be releasing an episode about the election but here it is. We chat about our predictions for the election, election fraud, contested elections, QAnon, etc.

A discussion of Joe Rogan's podcast, his "centrist" ideology, how rhetorical strategies falsely present his ideas as neutral, what the guests he decides to platform say about his own politics, and the role he plays in the The Discourse.
