A podcast about culture, control, and empire. Hosted by Sean & Jules, exploring modern horrors, cults, conspiracies, and propaganda.
Jules and Sean talk about the origin of what we call the Protestant Ethic, and how it drives us to work longer and harder on things we never really cared about. Before that, they chat about recent reports that AT&T inspired the creation of OAN.
Here's a special episode! Sean and Jules discuss the ongoing John Deere strike. Along the way, they talk about the UAW's recent corruption convictions and how they sell out their union members for profit.
Part 2 of our series on the Protestant Ethic. Jules and Sean talk about Frederick Winslow Taylor, his Scientific Management (Taylorism) and how it's helped create our addiction to productivity porn.
Jules and Sean trace the origins of the American Veterans Day and why everyone else still calls it Armistice Day, Weimar post-war debt, Bretton Woods, the IMF, and the ISIS dinar. Sean gathers the threads of crypto-themed events, the Psychic Friends Network, Billionaire influencers, and Seasteaders into something that sort of looks like a theme.
Jules and Sean pick apart the Negative 48 QAnon offshoot. Negative 48 gathered his flock to Dallas, Texas on the anniversary of JFK's assassination, believing that the murdered president would return along with his deceased son JFK Jr., Robin Williams, Prince, Tupac, and Richard Pryor.
