Collectivitis Podcast#87 - Trump and Elon's Messy Break-UpPietro and Floyd look at the messy breakup between Elon Musk and Donald Trump over Trump’s new Big Beautiful spending Bill. They discuss how it came to pass, how Elon Musk’s fiscally conservative idealism led him to naively believe that Trump was genuine about cutting spending, how Trump’s ego won’t allow him to let someone criticise him (regardless of how instrumental they were to his election in 2024) and much more.

John sheds some light on the economic state of the country, how stagnation and inflation driving the so-called “cost-of-living” crisis, and how productivity is our only way out of this mess.

Collectivitis Podcast#82 - Dutton Loses the ElectionPietro and Floyd look at the 2025 Australian Federal election as it heats up. They take aim at Peter Dutton, particularly for his weak stances on populist right wing issues which he had originally campaigned on: cutting 41 000 public sector jobs, ending work-from-home arrangements for public sector employees, and various others.

il posto delle paroleFrancesco Marangi "Angeli di sale"Francesco Marangi"Angeli di sale"Polidoro Editorewww.alessandropolidoroeditore.itSiamo in un paese della costa ligure, tra gli ulivi e il mare. Pietro, maggiore di tre fratelli, torna nella sua casa natale per far visita al padre malato. Il suo ritorno apre una voragine che rimescola il tempo, lo inghiotte, lo dilata e rende i fratelli mere apparenze al cospetto del passato. Le voci dei protagonisti si confondono e si contraddicono e il paesaggio si deforma. Ogni cosa rimane trasfigurata dentro ricordi tragici che non si è in grado di raccontare con chiarezza, se non c...2025-04-0327 min
Collectivitis Podcast#81 - Clive Palmer is Bad for FreedomPietro and Floyd look at Clive Palmer’s new endeavour, the Trumpet of Patriots, and how it is actually a net negative for freedom, despite all of Clive’s Trump-imitating rhetoric.

They also talk Commonwealth Games de...2025-01-1346 min
Collectivitis Podcast#79 - Vic Libs in Turmoil as Pesutto Fails AgainPietro and Floyd take a look at recent events here in Victoria, namely the outcome of the Moira Deeming defamation case against John Pesutto. Yesterday it was ruled that Pesutto did indeed defame Moira by implying she was a nazi-sympathiser while she was part of the ‘Let Women Speak’ Rally in 2023 and the protest was gatecrashed by neo-nazis. There is increased intrigue around this case because Moira had been framed not only as a nazi, but the entire protest was deemed (no pun intended) to be ‘anti-trans’ and ‘transphobic’, a severe crime in the eyes of the ever-increas...2024-12-1337 min
Collectivitis Podcast#78 - 'MAD' Bill Fails in Federal SenatePietro and Floyd look at the recent movements in Australian Parliament—namely the MAD (Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill failing this past week after independent Senators Lambie, Pocock, and Payman all announced they would vote against it. The Libertarian Party was instrumental in mobilising community members contacting the Senators’ offices and pleading with them to vote against it. Unfortunately, while this encroachment on free speech seems to be momentarily forestalled, the Social Media Ban for all kids under 16 will pass next week with bipartisan Labor and Liberal support, and Albanese and Dutton arguing over who supports it more. 2024-11-1742 min

Collectivitis Podcast#75 - Libertarians Hit Dan Andrews with 'Bike Boy' RecordingPietro and Max catch up on a slew of recent news. First, Libertarian MP David Limbrick this week dropped the monumental bombshell that there was a recording of 000 call made by Dan Andrews in 2013 following the ‘bike boy’ incident, where he and his wife hit and hospitalised a 15-year-old cyclist. The recording reveals Andrews admitting ‘we hit him’, after police investigations had squashed the story for years.
