Content

On disinformation, NATO vs Russia, terrorism + more.

We look back at a turbulent last month or so with the help of guest and "disinformation bot" Tara McCormack. We put it all in the context of Trump's return, post-neoliberalism and deglobalisation.

00:13:52 – Jacob Siegel  talks to Alex about Meta's policy U-turn on censorship and what it means for the public-private partnership on digital surveillance.

00:50:11 – How will European powers react to the US's relative withdrawal of its protection? Will France, Britain and Germany double-down on the Ukraine war?

01:06:21 – Why is Luigi Mangione not understood as 'terrorism' while the Magdeburg Christmas market attack is? What drives terrorism and is that even the right term to understand explosive anomie?

 01:15:24 – Letters to the Editors: on the global radical right, and Trump's foreign policy

As a Finnish military reservist I'd certainly like to welcome the rest on Western Europe in taking a step back to the time of mass politics and reinstating (some form of) conscription. At best, it teaches young men life skills and raises general consciousness of our national interests (or at least their official versions). At worst... Well, let's hope our current military leadership is more competent than its' equivalents leading the trench war in WWI, eh? On another topic, I feel it's quite evident that the professional-managerial class has a class interest, and a very fundamental one at that: It's to reproduce itself as a class and maintain its status as a high-status middle class. Or to put it more crudely: Make sure that the state and/or capitalist class keeps paying their salaries, preferably without questioning the necessity of doing so.
