We get philosophical on this episode... sorry. We start in the swing of things as we discussion Nietzsche and why he sucked, how time has ostensibly proven Marx and Deleuze -- among others -- essentially right, and if there is anything they get wrong. (Spoilers: there's not a whole lot.) After that we start things proper and move onto the UAW strike, the solidarity and excitement found in the modern US labor movement, Fetterman, plus Sinn Féin AND Shawn Fain? Try saying that ten times fast. Also, Fossil Fuel subsidies have gone out of control, tension between Canada and India rachet-up, and the US military somehow lost a very expensive plane.
