[Audio Essay from Rhyd Wildermuth] While leftists craft ridiculous conspiracy theories about banking cabals or 5G, some people are literally conspiring to keep us alive.

Finally back in the same place for a bit, Alley and Rhyd discuss Magic and its relationship to Fascism, especially in regards to the power of words.

No one’s behind this. That’s the true occult knowledge behind COVID-19 and every other catastrophe which will continue to define our lives.

An audio essay from Rhyd Wildermuth

In addition to our regular episodes, we'll now be adding audio essays from both Rhyd Wildermuth and Alley Valkyrie. Here's the first, from Rhyd, on the "State of Exception."

Governments around the world have begun curtailing civil liberties in order to fight the spread of COVID-19. Are they following China's example, or is this really a core feature of all modern nation-states?

With the upsurge of interest in socialism and the complete failure of the judicial process to dethrone Trump, the idea of a General Strike seems to be on American's minds. But do they even know how one works?

Alley and Rhyd discuss the General Strike in France and why the US is much farther from such potential than most people understand.

Can a system really be changed from within? Is false hope a form of manipulation?

Alley and Rhyd discuss the American Situation, with an eye towards the larger problem facing climate activists around the world

As climate catastrophe and capitalism's crises disrupt the ability of people to survive, migration will become the norm. Unfortunately, there are governments and people trying to stop them...

Alley and Rhyd look at the recent history of immigration and border laws, and explore the bind of immigrant workers exploited by capitalists twice over, as well as their own experiences with family and personal immigration.

The official narratives of politicians, governments, and the media no longer hold the same power upon the people.

Conspiracy theories abound. But aren't governments technically conspiracies? And revolutions...those are too.

So how do we tell who's lying, who's in charge, and what's really a conspiracy and what's really just a theory? Or is that even possible?

And what if no one is actually behind these conspiracies at all?

"We thought we had more time..."

With more and more news that the climate collapse is accelerating, it's time we seriously look at the pretty little lies we tell ourselves to keep ourselves going. Alley and Rhyd discuss some of these, including the latest leftist delusion, "Fully Automated Luxury Communism."

"The dark ages were really only dark for the rich..."

With more and more reports that "civilization" may end because of catastrophic climate change, we may be entering into a new "dark ages."

But is that really something to fear? Alley & Rhyd discuss the previous dark ages, as well as recent moments of civilizational collapse and ask, "why should we be afraid of the dark?"
