Big podcast incoming! The Antifa Boys look at the hotbed of proto-fascism that is conspiracy theories. Kev looks at what happens when the conspiracy craziness gets exposed to the normie populace, before giving side-eye to the EU's lack of action regarding Hungarian fascism. The pair then briefly fantasise about the potential introduction of a feast day to forever celebrate Maggie Thatcher's passing. Seb brings us fascinating tales from history, starting with the operation a correspondent of the New York Times called "the most wonderful ever carried out by one army in another country"; when France invaded Germany in 1920 because the Reichswehr had marched into the Ruhr to crush a left-wing uprising. Thus did one of the many opportunities for German fascism to be strangled in the cradle go begging. *Content Warning for Misophoniacs : Kev was chewing gum during the podcast, he has no manners * // the number 15 // Kev is a fact Slider! // from 5g to wet markets // no more crossover episodes // Corona-spiracy Theories // phony doctors! // greed is the EXPLANATION // welcome to the normiesphere! // Celebs getting on board with the madness //philanthropist...or ILLUMINATI?! // trust the lying liar who lies // political centri-fugue // Sebsplaining the truth // War of the Worlds // antifa == sharia law // the end of Gunboat Diplomacy // the many types of fascism // "I thought we were already doing Fashwatch" // Hungarian Enabling Act // LGBT often the first target of fascists // state-permitted violence // strongly-worded EeeePeePeee // far-right...but pro-EU? // Burn Bojo & Maggie in effigy // there was never an NHS... // History Lesson: The Ruhr Red Army // France invades Germany // Millerand wusses out // Facepalm of Nations // the Right can be as divided as the Left // Lessons in Fascism // Colombian military coup // hang up your anti-electorism hat // left uniting in struggle for bare minimum // brazen kneecapping by centrist establishment // don't go back to normal // Spain doing UBI // "I'm alright, Jack" // Screw you, got mine! // Bismarck & the welfare state // no way to predict long-term impact of small variables // Antifa SuperSoldiers from History! // Belsen-Buchenwald's Bartel // building radios in concentration camps // Wired article that catalogues some of the conspiracy theories around coronavirus https://www.wired.co.uk/article/5g-coronavirus-conspiracy-theory Further information on the Ruhr Red Army Uprising https://www.marxists.org/subject/germany-1918-23/dauve-authier/ch12.htm PSOE & Podemos coalition looking into Universal Basic Income https://www.thelocal.es/20200407/spain-plans-universal-basic-income-to-cope-with-coronavirus-crisis Music: Oh!
