Joe surprised everyone by being off this week -- He was on Cape Cod -- so for this episode you get an hour of Jesse and Scott rambling. Things stay on topic enough, or they try to, but this some raw stuff. Thankfully, there is editing! And we get theoretical! We open with a discussion concerning
Israel, Palestine, apartheid, and moral clarity. We then debate why exactly we believe the social project failed in the twentieth century, from the Spanish Civil War, The Soviet Union, and The Atomic Bomb. Then it's the news, both international and local; all of which is a little dated, but seems like Hot Labor Summer continues, as more industries try to unionize or even strike. Plus, in the middle of things, Scott gives us a rant on why conservatives are often so bad at media analysis. Thank you for listening, and visit our patreon: patreon.com/epicincredulity
