Dimes and Judas discuss a recent inquiry revealing a large number of Canadian MPs are working for foreign governments, the campaign to get Alberta to become the 51st American state, and Elephants painting being a big fat hoax. After recounting the recent sweep of Far-Right parties in the recent EU elections and dissect its implications, they connect this to a review of the book “Reflections on Violence” by Georges Sorel. The famous French syndicalist builds a strong case that revolutions without violence as their goal are eventually co-opted and even commoditized by their oppressors. Lastly on this edition of The Copepranos Society, a recent appearance Dimes made on Illegitimate Scholar where they examine the differences between hunter-gatherer societies and modern complex systems, and how to create autonomous communities by referencing the Mormons, Amish, Afrikaners, and others.
