In the Context of Empire

Episode 6: So Like... What's Your Solution Man?


Listen Later

In episode 6 we (Jon and Matt) address a hypothetical counter argument. Frequently, those drawing attention to the problems of American society are met with a response that demands that they also have a solution to these societal ills. We start by dismissing idea that it is incumbent upon person pointing out problems to also have a solution to those problems.  However, we do propose some policies that would likely shift our domestic and foreign policies in a far more beneficial direction.

Some issues that we propose solutions for:

The United States and its total disregard for international law and the ICC

Mass Incarceration

Extreme wealth inequality

Unequal access to healthcare

A culture that is disturbingly jingoistic and reverent of militarism while also willingly ignorant or accepting of extreme economic inequality
