Skull, strikes, Black Panther Sponsored Breakfasts, cults, the power people have when uniting for a just cause, and the general disdain for dystopian timelines–this episode has it all!
Join Lauren, Amy, & Holly as they discuss the history of General Strikes in the United States throughout the 19th & 20th centuries as well as the General Strike Movement currently taking place today; the nefarious anthropological history of (presumed undiagnosed autistic & possible hoarder) Johann Friedrich Blumenbach along with the flaberghasting history of 'who' qualified as 'causcasian' and how it was determined (spoiler alert: its rooted in colonialism).
