Does Everyone Hate Feminists?


Chris finally has the nuances of Feminist theory explained to him in a thought provoking debate.

Why do only a minority of people consider themselves Feminist?

What does the movement get right, where can it improve, and why is this still a controversial topic?

Why are we still talking about Jordan Peterson!?

Two insightful guests help Beyond Binary Thinking finally broach, one of our more polemic topics.

Outro music by the phenomenally talented Florence Glen, releasing this song on Friday 18th December, and her album early next year. All updates can be found on: https://www.facebook.com/floglenmusic

The Social Media Dilemma Featuring PeteyVid's Crag Stadler


Social Media Giants promised a revolution in how we would communicate and form communities.

The promise of the Arab Spring has been tainted by genocides in Myanmar, and Ethiopia, accelerated by dictator sponsored Facebook ads.

The technological revolution built on innovation has grown so monopolistic, that few dare to build close to Google's "kill-zone".

We talk to PeteyVid's Craig Stadler about alternative, how David takes on Godzilla, why song covers get taken down quicker than ISIS beheadings, and whether regulation will hurt the big monopolies, or help them.

Polish Protests: What Is Going On?


Content Warning: Abortion, Blasphemy, and Revolution.

We spoke to Gabriel to get a handle on what's happening with women's rights, politics, protests, and the Catholic Church in Poland.

Funny, alarming, enlightening, and disturbing. If you wondered WTF is going on in Poland, I'd recommend you check out this frank discussion.

Anti-PiS protest song by an activist currently in prison for speaking against the current government:

How I hate you so much
How much I hate you
How much I despise you
probably just as much as you despised me

So sing along together!
You need to say fuck you to PiS
and you need not to be afraid of them
and in the face of the adversity, you must strike

PiS politician is a whore above all whores
And that is how their brotherhood works
PiS politician is stealing millions...
...just to give it to the church

So sing along together!...

Steelmanning Capitalism and Rebranding Bernie with Real Politik


Can a few minor tweaks to our current system make the world a much better place? We tried to steelman Capitalism and Democracy, and ended up with Mr. Koch holding court with some practical changes grounded in political and economic theory that none could argue with. Another wonderful crossover with the Real Politik gents, and a very impressive guest.

Polite Political Discourse and Activism in America


The DMC, Biden, and Trump are barely mentioned while we have a frank discussion on the future of American politics with a former Conservative, and a former Bernie or Buster, both of whom have changed their minds several times in recent years, and spend time reaching across the aisle to people with differing political opinions having seen the benefit of getting involved in local politics.

Drugs Won The War on Drugs


The War on Drugs has exacerbated most of the problems it claimed it could fix, costing the United States $1 trillion dollars and wrecking millions of lives, while disproportionally targeting black men.

This episode we look deeper into the reality of modern day prohibition and discuss the drawbacks of a lack in drug education and the ramifications of strong drug laws.

How dangerous are drugs? Would you want all drugs to be legalised?

Real Politik Beyond Binary Crossover


Real Politik is our favourite podcast, so we jumped on a cross-over to deep dive into how most economic theory is a nonsense mythology based on demonstrably false misunderstandings of people and markets.

We also get into the religion of "Leftist" politics and why the Democratic Party stopped representing the working class, paving the way for Trump (and his potential re-election).

Visit their Patreon at patreon.com/realpolitik and keep the conversation going on twitter @real_politik.

Outro music Silence, by Andrew Sloman. Check out more of his music at:
