Miscellaneous
Greetings, comrades & friends! The antifa boys commemorate the July Plot of 1944 and salute the efforts of anti-fascists past & present, while poking fun at the failures of fash fools. Seb highlights the lives of agitator artist John Heartfield & radical robber-bomber Lucio Urtubia, and Kev mocks the Spanish Civil War involvement of O'Duffy's Blueshirts & the Irish far-right attempts to smear Green TD Roderic O'Gorman. Our pair discuss the dismal libertarian worldview that zombie media embodies and which has exploded in popularity since the turn of the millennium, before turning their gunsights on the militarization of gaming culture and its uses as a warfare training tool. Plenty of pisstakes, a lot of laughs, a few fascinating facts & figures. Bash the fash, whether with a podcast, a pencil, a paintbrush or a pistol. auspicious anniversaries // No Country for Dumb Blueshirts // Rojava turns 8 // 'both sides' BS in vidja gamz // art as a weapon // not interested?
