The Epoch of Incredulity

Jesse somehow figure out a way to recover the audio for episode 92, or, coincidentally, our season three premiere! Don't get too excited, it's mostly a typical episode for the Epoch, as we wade through bullshit. NATO bullshit, SCOTUS bullshit, Religious bullshit, Media bullshit, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats' bullshit, the sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell, and not to be undone, the bullshit of the MBTA. Also featured is the return of Rabid Radlibs, and a whole lot of discussion about how much rich politicians suck. Please, enjoy, and share. Thank you for listening!

For a fresh change of pace, we celebrate some positive developments in this short-ish season two finale.  We also cover some bad stuff.  Just listen to the intro spiel, alright?  (Usually Scott does the episode description and the timestamps...)

We do not advertise, and we do not monetize our content, so please become a patron at patreon.com/epicincredulity if you want to support us financially.  Sharing the show helps a lot, too.

Thank you for listening to our bullshit for the past two years.

We go long on this Epoch. First we open with the tragedy of the Uvalde shooting, which then bleeds into a longer discussion on the failure of law enforcement in America. Joe brings us an examination of "zombie corporations" and the impending market collapse. Jesse highlights the on-going denial of many Afghans from entering America, Section 35, and Michelle Wu's poor response to Mass and Cass. We also talk about Charlie Baker's veto of the immigrant license access bill, NA, astrology, and TikTok. Thank you for listening, and please share!

This is a very special episode of the Epoch, as we are joined by Breadtuber, and international comrade, Emerican Johnson of NonCompete. Our discussion mostly compares and contrasts the differences between the transitional socialist state  of Vietnam with the hyper-capitalism of the USA. We investigate the difference in the response to COVID, and expose the discrimination, fearmongering, and censorship prevalent online against the people of Vietnam. We learn about the rigorous political education and development of Vietnam and the transition away from Capitalism through Socialism and into Communism. We look into the intersection of mental health and class struggle, discuss disability activism, Revolutionary Optimism, and the disgusting and unfortunate ableism that still exists within sections the Left. As always, we touch on foreign policy and NATO. It would be really great if you shared this episode, thank you. Enjoy your Epoch.
