*I was invited to the Psychlib podcast to discuss the power of rage and it resulted in ~90 mins of mostly me ranting* 

In this wide-ranging and wide-ranting discussion, Sina, Sacha and Benji explore the psychological clay feet of the dying white empire. We explore the entanglement of settler colonies and how they can't genocide their way to victory over the rest of the world. We look at the psychological protective and mobilizing role of rage. If, like us, you consider that ranting Sina is peak Sina, you'll enjoy this episode!

*I recently did two very long livestreams with friend of the show and comrade Jared Ware from Millenials are Killing Capitalism. I didn't want to subject all of you on the free feed to almost six hours of mostly Sina yeling so I put one of our conversations behind the paywall. You can watch that episode linked below*

Back by popular demand. Sina Rahmani will return to the show to discuss whether we are in the early days of World War 3. Has it been "quietly" raging for a few years now? Are such questions hyperbolic or alarmist by nature? What possible futures actually await us in an era of extreme violence and geopolitical fluctuation?

In particular, we will discuss the possibility of a US-Israeli detente with Iran, the continuation of hybrid war, or the escalation to a more direct hot war. How does the "trade war" with China figure into this? 

Check out Friday's discussion if you missed it. Because 3 hours is a long conversation, we included "key moments" in the show description so you can navigate to specific parts if you prefer:
