We return to the days of Ol' (the first five episodes) as The Epoch this week is a bit of a rambler. We cover the death of RBG, debate the likelihood the Trump administration tries to fill the seat before the next president is inaugurated, and what, if any, impact, an Amy McGrath Senate would have on the proceedings. We cover the electoral landscape, and highlight a few more leftist victories. We explore the oddities of late stage capitalism; we Pepsi the pain away with Pepsi Driftwell, bow down to the new Russian Christ, and are evicted by UBER, while being berated by Michael's customers. Jesse set his sights on the misconception that the Nordic countries are Communist. Finally, we end with a preview of our interview with Spencer Brown of Boston DSA on Enzo Traverso's book Left-Wing Melancholia, which you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/epicincredulity
