The Epoch of Incredulity episodes
- Episode 48 - Mom Practice (Six Feet from the Sausage)On this week's Epoch, we discuss the changing narrative around Israeli apartheid state, corporate Americas attempts to chip away at Biden's tax reforms, and the psychotic and confusing nature of the CDC. Should we use psychological manipulation to get people to get vaccinated? (Yes.) We briefly become a burger podcast before LE brings us another story about the disaster of when birds of prey and humans meet. Jesse tells us what cool animals he saw at the zoo before we move into a very free flowing conversation about how much money Massachusetts gives to Israel for weapons, strawman argument against supporting Palestine, the woke CIA and the general exploitation of woke culture, and capital's leverage of Identity politics over solidarity. There's a lot of nonsense in there, too.

We're back from the dead! On this week Epoch we return to form in typical chaotic fashion. We begins the episode with the Israel's on-going ethnic cleansing of Palestine. We urge you join your local BDS movement. We discuss the slow destruction of the United Kingdom as the fallout of Brexit deepens: Scotland will mostly likely vote in favor for independence in a next referendum, Ireland reunification might become a reality, and Wales may also gain their independence. We close the news with Biden's awful unemployment plan. Jesse explores the web of capital, China, and the Uyghurs. Then Comrade Binx joins us to discus the displacement of local houseless community, the destruction of their encampment, and how you can help. LE brings up a stories of sex toys mistaken for weapons of war. Scott rounds things out with his opinion of Elon Musk and the cult of personality. As always, please enjoy, and thank you for listening!

We have another extra chonky one this week on the Epoch. Full crew on deck as we open with some ruminations on the Derek Chauvin ruling. In the news we discuss the sorry state of the MBTA, the welfare state, the American social credit system known as the credit score, how various intuitions plan to deal with climate change, Libertarian ideology, and WBZ's piss poor journalistic standards. Comrade Binx joins us to highlight some important action against the construction of a new women's prison in Massachusetts. LE brings us a segment about baby bottles. We find out some members of the team are younger than The Simpsons, and have an elongated and quite unhinged conversation about the utility of bagels. It's a weird one. Enjoy.

About The Epoch of Incredulity
From the publisher's feed
Here in the Boston Commune, we interpret the tumultuous churn of modernity through a Marxist lens. Episodes alternate between analyses of current events -- from the hyperlocal to the international -- and narrations of theoretical texts by communists and anti-imperialists the world over. This project was birthed in a mental health working group during the pandemic and continues in true DIY fashion, without any advertisements or monetization (save for a few generous patrons). Hard to believe, we know; for it is, after all, the Epoch of Incredulity.
