Climate Change got you down? Worried about the fact that *everything* seems to be getting worse? Wondering how we got to this point in the first place, and what can we do to build a more resilient future? We take a look at historical pastoral & agricultural societies to see what worked and what didn’t, as well as what resources we have today to make better decisions to build equitable systems. We don’t just discuss ecology and history but also take a leftist perspective on prepping, foraging, homesteading, weapons, community-building, and basically anything that needs discussing during late-stage capitalism.

A Brief History of Prohibition
Sunday May 08, 2022
Sunday May 08, 2022
In this episode, we talk about the history of prohibition and how politicians and tacticians pushed through an overwhelmingly unpopular law making alcohol sales illegal. We chat about what overlaps we see with contemporary wedge issues, and the power of a dedicated but small voting block who leveraged rural/urban divides, racism, and xenophobia to change the course of history!
