This week we are joined by historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz to discuss why America is not ‘a nation of immigrants’, and how this feel-good liberal mythos, created by JFK and exemplified in the musical ‘Hamilton’, obscures America’s settler colonial history

This week, the Wrong Boys team up with the crew from Thiiird Waves to think together about the complexities of workplace and income dynamics and radical politics, touching on the ethics of taking job offers with corporate monopolies, the idea of 'selling out', the tensions between collective responsibilities and individual choices, ways in which power can corrupt plans to change things from the inside, and the structure of rejecting unjust orders.

Are human beings innately special little angel babies? "Deep Down" are we good or evil? What does the corrupting influence of power have to do with it? Should we tell loving lies? Does power make us lie even to ourselves about our own lies? - All these questions and more in this special bonus episode for our patreon community!

The Wrong Boys are joined by David Wengrow to talk about changing human history (starting with the past) and his new book, co-authored with the late David Graeber, on myths about the origins of human society, why both Hobbes and Rousseau are wrong, and why human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume.
