Something missing from the story about CHAZ, the so called autonomyous zone in seattle is that those shootings happened outside the zones AND there signifcabtly LESS shootings in the city during the time it existed including in that neighborhood. It was stupid occuoy redux shit and it annoyed the fuck out of me at the time BUT even mentioning the shooting reinforces the right wing narrative that it was a dangeroys and harmful project wheb it was axtually just a corny waste of time.

There was a famous case (Henry Glover) in post Katrina NOLA where this occurred. Turns out that the cops did it.

Really appreciated Liz’s explanation of what a seesaw is in this one. Wasn’t sure. I’m 2.

To me, brace's jokes have become pretty tedious. Gotta step up the game

Alejandro Pepsi

Every time I'm reminded of how Darren seals was killed I think about my old cop/college professor who told our class "if you want to get away with murder kill someone in a car and light the car on fire"

Alejandro Pepsi

He was the head of campus PD and taught a class that boiled down to everyone wearing blue lives matter t shirts He made to every class to get an A and watching karate videos on YouTube

Javier Garcia

It’s actually longer than 38 minutes lol

meyer

Where’s the links tho

Brian Long

Liz and Brace, DeRay has recently made an appearance with Minneapolis’ corrupt bitch Mayor Jacob Frey. Minnesota’s Dept of Human Rights just came out with a report detailing the racism and corruption of the Minneapolis Police Dept. DeRay is working with Frey to “fix it” something they Mayor has had YEARS to do since being inaugurated in 2018. Would love an episode on how fucked my city is and how shitty our boy mayor is. It’s absolutely insane.

17:45 Donald Glover's show Atlanta has an episode exemplifying this. Amazing show, btw

Wait at the arrival terminal with a chauffeur's hat, a book of matches and a sign that says the name of your target. Oldest trick in the book.

Thank you for explaining seesaw

Marx says that revolutions are the seesaws of world history. But the situation may be quite different. Perhaps revolutions are not the playground ride, but the human race attempting to hop off so that the fat little Dutch boy falls down and smacks his butt against asphalt. -Walter Benjamin

really appreciate liz calling the Ferguson uprising an uprising

Atlanta Season 3 Ep 6 does a great job skewering the PR flack non-profit sector

Anyone else ever see the Phillip Glass scored version of the original 'Nosferatu' - pretty fukn sick

Kendall

As a fellow Mpls resident and Boy Mayor Hater this episode would bang

justdave

I've said this before, but I stand by it- I believe that January 6 shit was the states actual response to the Ferguson protests

justdave

Ever see 'Motel Hell' ?

IDIOTS! GRASS IS MOSTLY ROOTS, WHEN YOU 'PULL IT OUT' YOU ARE JUST SNAPPING THE STEM, THE GROWING PART OF GRASS IS ACTUALLY FAR BELOW THE SURFACE! (just like braces ties to syria 🇸🇾)

I’ve been Truthing for 6 hours and i think I’m way to deep already. Someone help.. where’s Hozier when you need him.

Episode drop on my birthday :) mashallah!

Tim Mullaney

Yo why’s my shit all fucked up- keeps repeating the same 15 seconds once it gets to 38 minutes- was just getting juicy now I want to die

mexicanhalloween .

The seesaw metaphor for this gated dialectic works well as it also implies infantile and unproductive work

Claire Simon

Learned a lot about brace’s kinks in this ep

Jon with no H

I believe wolfsbane poisoning causes heart attacks.

justdave

Look at outcomes to understand what people/governments want, not 'intent'. For a 'liberal' government to increase policing and surveillance because of the very real threat of a moral protest becoming violent, would give away the game- but to manufacture (from the grassroots) a 'right wing' counterpart protest to then implement this new identity on the public, well that sounds like gladio, the contras, like the years of lead in Italy. Actually it reminds of the circus and how the ring leader creates every plot, pit, and twist to his own show, only to have his mustache curl with surprise when it happens exactly as planned

Daniel Goffe

My first thought on hearing this, is there is a tax system where the corporations and money capitalists don’t pay much tax, but the working class and middle class pays tax, which is a form of extra surplus deduction because most of the government spending comes from borrowing, which is loan capital, serviced by profit of interest. State resources are then allocated towards the interests of capital. So there is the potential for NGO’s or non profit organisations to be useful allies, especially if they don’t pay tax, and also diversity wash capital. Originally the churches were massive landowners under feudalism and that was how they justified fleecing the peasants in the name of charity. BLM national has more or less fitted into that. In the Annales schools of Marxist historiography they expanded the idea that multiple systems exist within one stage of history, so there can be a monarchy and lordships in industrial England which has no separation of church and state, and financial systems that allow medieval practises such as blind trusts which were originally used by crusaders. So nations might have capitalism in the foreground but feudalism in the background, or capitalism, slavery and feudalism or elements remaining from all 3, ie the USA prison system for slavery and so on. I think this is closest to my understanding of it. So NGO’s or non profits could be interpreted as having elements of capitalism and feudalism. My understanding of neoliberalism is closer to this, that it isn’t so much one system but an idealism superficially that features parts of several systems to maintain the ruling class with capital as the material mechanism.

Daniel Goffe

The key point is also is fictitious capital mechanism, as Marx describes it in Kapital, someone commits fraud on an invoice, then the bank pays out in advance of processing, as the guarantor then lose liquidity, and the central banks and thus the taxpayer foots the bill. That adds a further mystification of capital because the process describes creating debt which is serviced by interest which the taxpayer pays, but the corporations don’t pay tax which is where the deduction occurs, surplus value is deducted as tax on top of being deducted before wages are paid. Also the banks commit the fraud and are bailed out by the tax payer and world reserve currency is dollars and is moved itself by capital ie fx trading. Fictitious capital is the key to understanding neoliberalism, because it’s a rewrite of the rules of the state under capitalism to mean the rules themselves are an explicit lie, instead of the state being potentially a chance for some basic reforms by an organised working class, it becomes itself a tool of capital to create debt extraction as well as allowing profit extraction. The new left basically made the classic mistake of not understanding rentier capital(that it features inherently the tendency for money capital to remove itself from production), or fictitious capital and so couldn’t understand neoliberalism.

William

I think it's probably more likely that it was encouraged as a way to kill many birds with one stone, not just rachet up tension and give libs a reason to support more NSA/FBI/CIA shit but also to use continuity of government to subvert checks and balances in order to implement legislation like they did after 9/11

This is an excellent response to draymond’s ejection

Good shit Liz, the market talk is needed. The left gets accused of infighting all the time but it’s just this market diversification happening online.

Scout

K Barlas

The podcast?

Did u guys get paid for that truth ad?

(27:20) Liz said "Lisa Simpson" like it was nothing.. so professional. I never could have let that go.

Liz is so smart

Nathan Forman

The point at the end is huge. I've been thinking about the space/time compression as everyone immediately reacts and demands answers today about a Supreme Court decision that we all know isn't going to be made final and public for like two months.

Doug Cartel

speaking about NGOs the rant the Belarusian president does about them is pretty funny

jay

fr gonna need that FyAd podcast Brace

I would say foreknowledge of the end of most if not all sexual/reproductive freedoms in the US is at least worth considering.

Prairie indigenous grasses have/ had pretty deep roots. I think that's why all of the non- native grasses in my city are dead right now.

having the same weird glitch as tim and i haven’t been able to listen to the whole ep yet. patreon why

Tanya Finder

Joey Ramone wrote a song about Maria Bartiromo on his solo album and it absolutely kills me

Daniel Goffe

In the UK, financial services became measured as GDP sometime in the 70’s when neoliberalism began. That’s also partly why fictitious capital is so intrinsic to neoliberalism.

Andrew Irwin

If you don’t ship my Bush did 9/11 shirt this week I will metoo Yung Chomsky

Tanya Finder

Ok so there’s a pretty good example of this going on in real time. Some of y’all may be familiar with the RevComs , the Bob Avakian worshipping fake commie weirdos who are very present at every protest in NYC, and I’m assuming probably the Bay Area too. They call themselves the Revolutionary communist party, though they are none of those things, and they do not have any clear goals or politics other than believing Bob Avakian should be in charge of everything (he’s 79 and lives in France) and being vaguely MLM, though again, unclear what they actually think. ANYWAY, I didn’t know this but apparently they are also behind Refuse Fascism, a vague action network which seemed to function mostly to repost on social media and to ask for Donations last year during the BLM protests. Well now they have another shoddy, identical website and Instagram called RiseUp4Abortion, where the main activity is reposting actions from other organizers and (you guessed it) asking for “generous donations”. Anyway this was brought to my attention recently and they’ve like doubled their following since then. The websites are all identical, and if you visit Revcom.us it’s clear they are behind both of them. No fucking clue where these donations go, there is zero accounting for it. They don’t do mutual aid or seemingly anything besides repost online. They have chapters in different cities and own a bookshop or two for a while, but again, the only thing they seem to do is show up at marches, try to recruit people and ask for huge donations. I would love to see channel 5 hang out with these weird vultures. Anyway, thought that was relevant and timely.

Tanya Finder

I honestly thought they were just annoying until I realized they’re actively grifting off social movements. I doubt they are raking it in like the celebrity ‘activists’ or Shaun King types, but then again who fucking knows lol

materialistgirl

A perfect episode amidst the depressing storm of the dirtbag right and all its contradictions ❤️

Mold bug's wife really a polyamory activist? I thought she was just dead

I know a great restaurant called Traif. Similar concept to trof

Randy Hendrickson

You are right, Brace. Nuclear power is stupid. And so are people, and that is why Nuclear will never be a sustainable answer to climate chaos. We cannot even manage a virus and you want to expand Nukes in a capitalist hellhole? Lol.

Colby Gavin

you guys need to do a full episode on #metoo and #timesup!!

sadie

temporal schizophrenia very mark fisher pilled.... do a mark fisher im memoriam episode

Summer 2020 shit didn't end with CHOP, what? That happened in like late June, before even the feds in Portland.

Lionel Boyd Johnson

Is that where Brace is? I didn't even know he was pregnant...

restaurant idea: prego for preggos, serving pasta sauce to pregnant people

Irrelevant Elephant

Did Brace drop a reference to that crazy Oakland warehouse party fire for some years back?

a clash of purple

Serving pasta sauce ON pregnant people. Now we're talking.

Mads

But, he’s friends with Brace and Liz

Panic

people always do this lmao, brace and Liz (and most left podcasters) were kind of dismissive of that whole movement and thus do not care enough to get it right, the northwest was actively in the streets through November.

Mojo55

Fun fact: I helped organise the treasury of a spontaneously emerged BLM affiliated branch in England during the 2020 stuff. We received about ~£450 iirc, but we only spent about 100 on sound equipment. I was left with the £350, and despite me asking around, I couldn’t give the money back to anyone. There’s absolutely zero financial oversight on how branches are run or how funds are used, it’s actually insane these people call themselves Marxists. Only time I’ve actually received Soros bucks.

Mads

They won’t be critical of Hasan when they’re friends with him
