Tribunus Plebis Podcast(EP. 76) Police Unions Should Not ExistPolice unions should not exist. Not only do they protect corrupt, violent, even murderous cops, but they are also staunch defenders of the status quo. They use their power to grow in both size and power and to use their strength against the working class and poor. They are the ultra-violent arm of the state which is dead set against the organizing of the proletariat. --------------- This podcast and related works take a lot of effort and time to produce!

"You cannot truly help those that you do not Respect. Pity is not respect, victimization is not respect. Criminalizing mere existence and co-existence is not even close to respect. And without respect we cannot move forward.

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(Ep. 63) How We Talk About Labor - A Rearview Look at the Railroad Dispute, the Media, and Us.Not only does capital have control of the government and media, it also has control of the cultural zeitgeist and it has a hold so powerful that most of us hear a so called journalist ask a locomotive repairman making 80 grand a year or something whether fighting for the ability to not work while they are uncontrollably defecating water and physically decimated and not get fired for it is worth destroying the economy and we sit there in front of our TVs and think, yeah, man is it worth it?

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(EP. 62) How Labor Unions Help Reduce Racism and BigotryWe need to organize, unionize, work together, and undertake ventures which by their mere existence helps us all see that there are goals out there worth achieving and that the best way to do so is to make cause of common interests no matter our race or creed or culture and, even more importantly, no matter the race, creed, or culture of the worker standing with us on the picket lines as we fight for better wages, better lives, and healthier bodies. Unions aren’t the only way there, but I would say that the efficacy that they bring into th...2022-12-0832 min

It’s extremely important to understand that these simple ideas are being used to mislead us, to lie to us, to cheat us. Kwak does an admirable job of making this clear. And it is equally as important to be alert a...2022-11-1429 min

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(Ep. 60) Class, Labor, and SolidarityToday I want to talk about class, solidarity, and the labor struggle. I’m going to argue that the way we use class in the united states is purposefully misleading, intentionally vague and, ultimately, destructive. Class, when defined properly, is an incredibly important concept. But, as we will see, the way we talk about class in the united states borders on gibberish. Terms like the middle class and upper middle class are absolute nonsense. The key to making real, lasting change in the country is the working class, the vast amounts of wage wo...2022-10-2042 min

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(Ep. 59) William "Big Bill" Haywood - A Life Larger Than MostLet’s talk about William “Big Bill” Dudley Haywood! Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing well over 200 pounds, Big Bill was truly larger than life as he battled mining trusts, corporations, private armies, and government forces alike. He fought them with his agile mind, his calloused knuckles, and probably most importantly he damaged them with his words. He, along with Mother Jones and Eugene Debs, dominated the labor movement of the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries in a way that is still felt even today. Some activists may have been smarter in one...2022-09-211h 22

Philanthropy is being used to reify the ultra wealthy, sustain and support power and influence, and destroy democracy and choice.

What do these two events have in common? They can help us understand how systemically corrupt, violent, and lazy the justice system truly is and this understanding can provide insight into the crumbling of the 4th amendment, especially as it relates to class disparities. The reactions to these two events exposes how power, and connections to power, can lead to fascistic responses, both materially and rhetorically, while doing nothing to help the oppressed and reinforcing class and power hierarchies which are sustained...2022-08-1733 min

Plus, We Revisit Anti-Trans LegislationThe cowardice of the police in Uvalde was shameful enough, but since that horrific event those same police have shown cowardice in a myriad of other ways. Everything from their initial lies about what happened, wrongfully blaming innocent people, lying about the events and trying to gaslight everybody, and even right down to harassing the woman who defied the cops cowardice and saved her own child. Plus, anti-lgbtq legislation passes in Ohio and Texas and the results harm the members of those communities.

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(Ep. 54) Supreme Failures - The Overthrow of Roe, Unaccountable Police, More Guns, and Less Safety, Freedom, and LibertyThe U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, and opens the door to return to the dark days of no federal protection for same-sex marriage, anti-sodomy laws, loss of contraceptive care, and possibly even interracial marriage. Also: Cops get even more immunity, immigrants lose yet another basic right, and more chuds will be armed in the streets. To sum it up: Right to abortion, gone. Ability of cops to violate your rights with no punishment, granted. Indefinite detention? Hells yeah, this is america! 2022-06-2729 min

We will discuss the book "Austerity - The History of a Dangerous Idea" by Mark Blyth, as well as austerity in a broader, more general discussion! Austerity is, basically, the idea that regressively taxing citizens while also drastically reducing government spending on basic services is a good way to alleviate the debt burden of a country. In other words it is, as a theory, both immoral and built of utter hogwash. Austerity is, in reality, a brutal attack on innocent people’s...2022-03-1732 min

The dynamic duo of CEO Eric and Lawyer Wilma star alongside Anti-Worker Rhetoric. I listen, react, and do my best to break down the anti-union nonsense.

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(Ep. 45) Fractured - Fissured Work and the Destruction of the Middle ClassThe problems with this ‘fissuring of the workplace and economy’ are manifold. Wages are depressed, job security is destroyed, fewer people with company provided insurance, etc. As all of these wage and benefit structures collapse in favor of the lowest bid, there is further degradation of these systems further downstream. When workers lose the ability to demand, or even request, better wages and benefits, then the firm gains even more power to depress wages and benefits and squeeze its employees. As the asymmetry of power increases exponentially it begins to feed itself power and the cycl...2022-02-0526 min

You're worshipping a false idol, a dictator in waiting, a fascist pig. This country sowed hatred. It sowed contempt, it sowed division. It sowed discord and racism and anti-intellectualism and anti immigrants and anti everything not born or built in America. It sowed hatred of the media, of anyone not towing the party line and hatred of each other. This is what we get.

We have, essentially, been co-opted into a system which requires us to rely on involvement with industrialized mass-production for our own basic survival. How many people truly want to work as I defined it? How many of us do it simply to “earn a living”? Modern work does not “build character”. Modern work destroys bodies, minds, and souls. Modern work fractures families and friendships and community. And the time lef...2020-11-0942 min

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(Ep. 15) Is This Freedom? (Part One) - The Rhetoric of Choice as Freedom and Medicare For AllSo, what exactly is it that we are chasing when we talk about choice? Is it freedom? Because Freedom is, in fact, exactly what the establishment politicians are pushing at us when they talk about ‘choice’. For them, being able to choose between multiple options equals freedom. This idea seems to many to be intuitively correct on its face; if we can choose between twelve different brands of running shoes then that presents more freedom than being forced to buy the one brand on the shelf. We even have an all encompassing term for this - Freedom of Choice. Choice is s...2020-10-1331 min

Tribunus Plebis Podcast(Ep 10) Trump Continues Attacks on USPS and Social Security. Plus, Memes and the Art of PropagandaThese attacks on the United States Postal Service go far beyond just a neoliberal, sociopathic drive to destroy. The real goal here is for Trump to disenfranchise as many voters in blue and swing states as he possibly can and get re-elected. Currently this is his most likely track to another 4 years in the white house because he has failed in virtually every single policy, negotiation, and action that he has taken. Trump is also attempting to destroy Social Security through a barely veiled bribe via payroll tax deferrals. PLUS, we discuss memes and the art of internet propaganda.2020-08-1826 min

Ranked Choice voting is probably the simplest and easiest to implement intra-system change that has a legitimate shot in being used in this country to fundamentally alter the power dynamics of our political shitshow.

We lose our honest righteousness but more importantly we lose a little bit of our humanity. Disturbingly, there is increasing evidence that political ideology is shaping our morals and not the other way around. Doubly disturbing is the reality that political ideology is more firm, harder to alter, and is easier to use to self-define ourselves and find a tribe to belong to than our base morality is.

So they protest. They protest against a lynching of a black man. They protest racist policing. They protest police abuse. They protest against police brutality itself.

But what I do believe is that when you enforce, through the threat and reality of state sanctioned violence, racist laws via racist policing policies, then the results of those actions is racism. Regardless of your heart. If you target blacks because of precinct policy, that’s racist. It's just racism. We need to accept that if we want to have any chance at all of changing it.
