It's the (late) free one!

This week, Riley, Hussein, and Alice join Annie and Julian from the QAnon Anonymous podcast to discuss the recent ecumenical freakout protests in Oxford on the topic of ‘15 Minute Cities.’ Annie was there interviewing participants—she managed to find the one person who was just there because of traffic concerns—and witnessed what appears to be a nascent reactionary resistance movement fighting in favor of climate change? Or something like it.

I will be listening to the pod while attending The Ashes after the World Economic Forum turned London into a 15 minute city and eliminated my podcast commute. (Actually it's so I don't have to listen to Australians.)

That pro-fossil fuels guy who did the Joe Rogan circuit years ago was Alex Epstein.

It seems that the Murdock muck machine is taking the britishness out of the British and making richest/dumbest into Americans

I googled Lt Gov McNally and Google told me - people also search for Cameron Sexton *name alert klaxon goes off again*

I'm a massive Ban All Cars-style NUMTOT and I think this movement is pretty scary but one thing that's also insanely frustrating is how earnest the Davos set is at sabotaging every like good and necessary resource conservation effort you could possibly think of and have done in a really annoying and clumsy way for *for ever*. Promoting soft vegetarism slash ways of eating that aren't just steak and potatoes at every meal, phasing out Jeffersonian land home-ownership as the way every is supposed to life, encouraging people to get out and take a walk or even ride a bike and have the infrastructure to do so, replacing oil-burning airplane and car trips with electric trains, and reconsidering the idea that consumerism is the only way to self-fullfillment are all things we should be basically heading towards if we want to avoid living in a parking lot with flooding and a garbage patch on it within 50 years, *in the abstract* but then the big private plane guys, the big austerity guys, they just have to have their "we're gonna have to cut your wage" conference at the same place and time as the "look at the end of the day ground crickets taste and feel the same as hotdog sausage, you wouldn't even notice" guys and the "my daughter have been turned into chunky marinara by a speeding SUV and I would like to somewhat mitigate this" are in the same room as the "you have to turn down your thermostat just an extra 4 or 5 degrees this winter, and we're sorry it's not our fault I promise" people I would actually like to be able to disagree with every single position that Bill Gates has but the problem is that it results in something that is actually clinically insane

If Mr Beast is Climate Stalin does that mean Beastburgers are made of bugs?

FAMOUSLY the nazis made it so that people couldn't drive cars. google "autobahn" and "volkswagen" to learn more about those heinenous laws

Alice is extremely right about the medals thing, think about how people talk about The War. if lockdown had been mythologised it would have been so much better, if at the end of it we'd all been congratulated and thanked and a big number of how many lives each person sitting at home saved

IF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE BANS ME FOR POSTING AT THE TWINKS I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL -Randy McNally Also, does this work?: Randy McNally, inventor of the GPS

No moan... Sadge. This is the future the WEF wants for podcasts. You will eat the twinks, live in a moan less podcast, and you will only listen to the 15 minute podcast

Like a couple years back, Riley appearing on QAA made me sub to TF. Huzzah!

klaus schwab and his mischievous dog switched the road signs and sent me crashing into a ravine

No way did you get Zizek on for a book club?!

What's funny is that if you sum over all the Q-inflected fears, the most terrifying place in the universe is Jackson Heights, Queens

Man2quilla

One thing that all these nazi comparisons do for me as a Jewish man is make me significantly less sympathetic to even the potentially legitimate grievances of these sad weirdos

Chris Lamb

Liked Raaleh's suggestion that fears over, say, the 'freezer meat police' being repressed guilt over the hyperobject of catastrophic climate change. Any place I can read more about that angle?

RapaciousRat

O no I'm the dead guy who only listens to tf on 20 min bike journeys

I've lived my whole life in Texas and in several places that I've lived people are extremely against making neighborhood sidewalks. For example, where my mother lives (small town of 25k), the last time the city council talked about new sidewalks there was a disruptive council meeting and they didn't do it. Anyway, she lives in a hilly neighborhood and it would be nice for people to walk on sidewalks instead of in the streets. People really get their noses out of joint over this, way beyond other things (like more school taxes); I've never really understood it. But maybe it's just one step too far into commie/socialism than people can stand ::shrug::.

some damn good points made

I am so sad to be on the late bus here, commenting after the fact and all that but here in Tennessee the Lt. Governor’s seat accumulated fucking ridiculous powers over the 40+ year term of the motherfucker who sat in it before him. What I’m saying is this guy isn’t just a doddering, gin-faced shitwhistle waiting for a piano to drop on Bill Lee…he’s a doddering, gin-faced shitwhistle who is actively trying to kill women by blocking any abortion concessions at all. I think they’re maybe working on something now, at long last. Anyway fuck that guy.
