Last Minute: Politics

We finish our reading selection from "The East Is Still Red" by Carlos Martinez and talk MORE Israel Palestine! Why did Israel open fire on civilians at a music festival? SOME of them MIGHT be terrorists of course.

Isn't CHINA doing a genocide too? Well. I dunno. Look at the evidence. This week we talk about Palestine and how Israel keeps killing thousands of children there. But ALSO we talk about XinJiang province in China where there's a fake "genocide" also "taking place". Who knows though! No way to know. Just gotta keep on... keepin... on? We read from "The East Is Still Red" by Carlos Martinez.

I'm back! And the news did not stop while I was away. We got Canada forgetting that SS members are Nazis, McCarthy losing his speakership role after "Forcing the Vote" totally worked, Bernie arresting his former supporters, Stop Cop City being Doxxed by Atlanta leadership, AND Palestine rising up against genocidal oppression from US ally Israel. What a month!

Why can New Jersey residents vote to close private prisons, if the "good" side of our single political party can just force them open again through court proceedings? Because that's what's happening. Pepper also discusses the forbidden country song, and the very weird response to it!

Once again I am joined by LORCAN to talk about the UPS strike, all the stuff going on in Africa, the EFF rally that caused much pearl-clutching, and MORE! Get in here!

WE GOT Kirther in today to talk about Brasil's left wing. You see, Pepper is lucky enough to have traveled to Brasil a couple times now, and weirdly his international politics seem to line up well with Brasilian Communists. WHY IS THAT? What's up with the USA's "left"? Biden is denying asylum to a lotta people AND just appointed a war criminal to a diplomatic board. Why is that bad, even though Biden is a Democrat?

We got lots of bad news and we're trying to laugh our way though it. Join Pepper and Beatrice Poundwell as they talk about the supreme court, Threads, that submarine that exploded, and much much more!

You gotta actually PUT the plumbing in your house, or you didn't put the plumbing in your house. We got LOTTSA metaphors for you today. LORCAN joins us once again (@LorcanVulpini on twitter) and we are talking about FOOD, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, CORNEL WEST, THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. Got on a roll with the all caps and I couldn't back out.

BEATRICE P is back in the house and we're talking about Trump, Foodstamps, Gay beer, Straight liquor, and hard sports. Some of those I made up. Was kinda riffing there for a second. Ron Desantis is checking school library books for porn and we're gonna yell about it.

WE GOT BEATRICE POUNDWELL, #1 fan of Nohomers.net (It's the new Twitter) and we're talking about the writer's strike. We answer the tough questions like: Are writers people? Do they deserve wages? How much food is too much to feed your writer? We also talk about the latest 90s thing getting rebooted: former and current Presidents' sexual assault allegations.

WE are talking about bud-lite because... well, because the news has decided it's VERY IMPORTANT. Pepper is joined by Bryant Fox to talk about corporate sponsorship, Socialists under arrest, and of course, Dinner with Andre.

We recorded this about a week before it published so I hope nothing CRAZY happened in the last couple days. LORCAN joins again to talk about the long LONG history between Ireland/England and how the island has been a testing ground for British Empire and everything that flowed from it historically. Colonization? Forcing people off of viable farmland? Enforcing starvation for profit? All started there for England.

LORCAN joins us today from Northern Ireland to tell us about the imperialism our good friend England is doing to its neighbor island, and how the USA is helping. Is it about religion, or keeping the workers divided? Also Don the Trump has been arrested again. Maybe THIS time it'll stick, and they'll start arresting ALL the criminal presidents. Maybe.

CHINA! They have more than balloons, they have foreign policy suggestions. Student loans MIGHT get forgiven, gays MIGHT keep the right to get married, and the Nevada DSA HAS been swept from power by the Democrats. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. How much would Chumly pay for an authentic Nazi Skull?

The "Progressive" caucus of House Democrats recently sent a letter to the White House calling for negotiations with Russia to avoid nuclear war. Nanci Pelosi's husband got hit with a hammer. The US rail industry may shut down next month due to the Biden admin's hatred of workers taking time off for illness.

Communist twitter argues Electoralism. Is voting for Neo-Liberal capitalism a possible solution to our issues? Historically? No. Nord Stream is a former pipeline, turned natural gas spill, and CAN we trust the friendly faces on the internet not to propagandize us? LOTS to talk about this week.

Did you know that Communists ALSO have arguments? We recount one of them happening RIGHT NOW in the discourse involving Marx's concept of "Productive forces" and where that leaves service workers. Are they even proletarian? Cuba is doing cool medicine, and maybe American Liberals don't know what Fascism is.

There are 2 episodes in today's episode. First we talk in-studio about the upcoming CPI conference we'll be attending August 6th in Deerfield IL. Gonna hang out with some cool commies. We also talk about some of the weird labels thrown at communists in the US, abortion privileges getting revoked by the owning class, and circumcision. THEN you'll hear audio from our live recording at Anthrocon 2022. "Organizing the Fandom" is a panel we've now both been to, and WOW is it getting relevant, especially with the upcoming volunteer shortage at our beloved furry cons.   All of the Links: LastMinutePolitics.com https://www.patreon.com/LastMinutePolitics  EMAIL US: LastMinutePoliticsPodcast@gmail.com Pay us: Paypal.me/LastMinutePolitics

After a brief half-hour discussion on guns, we spend a WHOLE hour reading messages from a couple of our Chinese friends. That's right, we have friends, and some of them live in China.

Sometimes I (Pepper) do things in real life. I went to BLFC 2022, played some fun shows, had some fun panels, and sat down in a messy hotel room to talk with Alkali about... well, the global economy! I apologize for the audio quality, it was done live on my less than perfect field recorder. VIDEO available on our patreon.

Two diaper-related fandom events in 2 weeks. Lucky US! What is the difference between "Babyfur" "ABDL" and "Pedophile"? Why are the Democrats providing strictly symbolic "help: to trans people? When you turn onto a 2-lane road and somebody's coming in the near lane, but you smoothly turn into the FAR lane, does that still count as cutting them off?
