This Machine Kills #401. Ruled by Bastards (ft. Quinn Slobodian)
Show notes
We are joined by yet another TMK favorite, Quinn Slobodian, who is author of Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right. We discuss Quinn’s analysis of “new fusionism” or a mutant strain of neoliberalism that crystallized in the 1990s, which sought to ground and defend neoliberal policies through their own bastardization of biological sciences — cognitive, behavioral, evolutionary, genetic, and so on. They then used scientism to justify and propagate political ideas and economic models based on hardwired human nature and hierarchical differences between races, cultures, and intelligence. The fringes of the 1990s have now become the mainstream of the 2020s.

Ghost Stories For The End Of The World Episode #97 - These Dreams of Menwith Hill
Show notes
We’re setting the table for the year ahead in Ghost Stories, and to do so we’ll be following a number of threads that may or may not have much to do with each other. Key to this one is the UK’s relationship with the US, which we use to explore how unnerving it feels to be alive in the Hermit Kingdom in the last days, its mind blown out by redundant upper management and a deep state that no longer has any purpose. We mainline the DMT released from the dying spider’s brain, exploring Keir Starmer as the Last Man, dreams in the imperial core, surveillance, terrorism, the dregs of empire, classified US-UK programs like GHOSTHUNTER and APPARITION, temporal dislocation, and long-dead spree killers haunting the Yorkshire moors.

Upstream: China Pt. 1 - A Socialist Introduction with Jason Hickel
Upstream · Episode
Finally got around to listening to this today on my run. I don't know much about the pod itself it seems pretty lib-coded but they will have Breht on to open up the tank gun on their listeners etc.
Anyhow Jason Hickel is a great explainer in general, and since he's so involved directly in a lot of the research he discusses he has a deep fluency that allows even regular dumdums like me to understand. This is a great overview of the development of China's geopolitical position, and an easy listen - hard recommend.
