The Labour government is set to introduce inheritance tax on farms that will potentially decimate the farming industry in the UK. We take a heretical leftwing position by arguing against this in the name of food sovereignty, productive value, and anti-globalisation. We discuss how the Left used to be the advocates of organic food, free range farming, and have entirely ceded that cultural ground to the Right. We then delve into the widening pathways of alienation in our society in terms of consumption regarding food, living in regard to housing, the creation of life in relation to surrogacy, and with euthanasia now an attempt to socially construct death.
We give an example of how trans-humanism cannot even fit into our institutions citing YouTube couple Jamie Raines and wife Shaaba who have screwed themselves out of IVF on the NHS due to Jamie being male on her medical records and also not qualifying as a heterosexual couple because they’re both actually female. Plus, the Marxist definition of oppression, Hannah lambasts the language around assisted suicide, and Jen states she'd prefer to be hit by a bus than be euthanised. -
We discuss the relationship between transgender ideology's tendency towards categorisation and the black and white concreteness of mind required to buy in to it. The more ambiguous, messier parts of subjectivity can cause a certain ambivalence, for which surgeries, hormones, and cosmetic procedures become a way to make concrete changes to oneself in the hope of splitting off parts of the self that don’t fit neatly into a core self-image or identification with a desired category. This black and white thinking has its basis in emotional maturity, which is partly why so many as mature 'detransition', having come to integrate all parts of themselves psychically as age.
Similarly, in regard to maturity and a lack of experience, it is remarkable how often it is that those with little to no sexual experience are the people most attracted to and highly fascinated by sexual categories or sexual politics. As if labelling yourself with three types of sexual identities, or obsessing over the social relations between the sexes, would fill a void of inexperience and lack of understanding.
Plus, transgender ideology’s curious rejection on social construction for the more concrete arguments of hard science, why sanitising and infantilising gay people through rainbows is a recipe for making us all look like pedophiles, and the value of seeing other women say “no”. -

Donald Trump won the American Presidential election last week in a landslide victory, winning every swing state, and almost 'flipping' a few others. We discuss how he managed to pull off a feat that most polls and political commentators were not expecting. If Trump's win signals a wider crisis of liberalism, what hope is there for the Democrats to renew themselves and win this side of 2040? The election humiliated not just the many pollsters who expected a blue victory, but also the mainstream media, who found themselves floundering for explanations as to what had gone so wrong. We discuss the denial of those mainstream media commentators and others in the Harris camp who now find themselves political refugees as they continue to not face the seismic political shift Trump represents. Plus, the feminine bullying tactics of woke liberals, the new emergent fault line of globalisation vs anti-globalisation, Jen feeling surprisingly sad after the election result became clear, the racism of low expectations, and we ask whether Rory Stewart inadvertenly indicated he was privy to intelligence conversations about bumping Trump off? And sorry for the fireworks!

The 2024 U.S Election results will be known in just 36 - 48 hours time. We discuss how acrimonious the run up has been, and how dominant online discourse has become in shaping political outcomes. We cover the new normalcy of openly wishing violence on your political opponents or those who differ ideologically to you, how the online sphere has fostered petulance as politics, and why assuming everyone who disagrees with you is stupid is a bad idea. Plus, the UK’s predilection for teaching children gruesome histories, Ben Shapiro on Jewish whiteness, moral incontinence, and whether we should only be nice about people after they die. Towards the end of the episode we give our predictions on whether Trump or Kamala will win and, of course, the mass global fallout from the tragic state murder of Peanut the squirrel.

We review Matt Walsh's new documentary uncovering the DEI movement in the United States. 'Am I a Racist?' looks at race relations specifically, and the self-help, grief counselling, Protestant evangelical culture found within the workshops he attends. There is a pessimism at the heart of these DEI sessions, one that has a wider context in capitalist realism, afro-pessimism, and Victorian morality. The function of pessimism here is about proposing a foreclosure of systemic change or reorganising society in a meaningful way to end racism, so that instead people individually 'do the work' through self-flagellation and quasi-psychological deconstruction. That sets up the lucrative grift of DEI workshops or events as the only activity someone can attend to be anti-racist, rather than focusing on political action. Individualistic measures become the ceiling of what one can do to defeat racism.
Plus, Derrida's 'reiteration' theory, women's loyalty to men as highly racialised, the red flags of coercive workshops, and a prediction of land acknowledgements happening even in Israel some day. At the end of the episode we discuss some of the damage done by vegan activists to indigenous communities in the north of Canada. -
The UK's Labour government has announced a proposal to introduce euthanasia for the terminally ill. We approach that in the latter 40 minutes of this episode, after a discussion of what it's like to be a feminist in public. Expressing feminist ideas in public can lead to encountering attention seeking tactics and subsequently becoming blackpilled. We also discuss the combination of radical feminist theory with socialist feminist practice, and men adopting feminist understandings due to novelty. The latter half of the episode is concerned with euthanasia, as well as the newly proposed Ozempic injections for the unemployed obese, and work coaches for mental health in-patients. Social constructionism requires state intervention, but this particular form of statecraft is being supported by Humanist organisations pretence that the UK's main opposition is an evangelical Christian contingent that does not exist and is not large enough to be a political force. Little reflection is taking place on how the slippery slope is built-in to euthanisia, leading to, for example, people in Canada with Alzheimer’s being signed-off for euthanasia by their legal guardian family members. Plus, the subjective nature of suffering, the feminist arguments against euthanasia, and the death of capitalist hedonism and its possible monstrous rebirth in euthanasia.

Last weekend LGB Alliance Conference was attacked by Trans activists releasing insects at their event. We discuss why LGBA inspires such ire from Trans activists and how this attack was a form of resent-filled revenge after losing Self-ID with the Labour government. We also consider why young women are attracted to Transgender activism and why young T and Q activists are so committed to attempting to attach themselves to LGB (voyeuristic proximity to sexuality). Specifically, middle-class TRA women can be understood to be petulant, brattish 'scabs' that have no solidarity with other women who 'go on strike' against gender. Another aspect is how socially underdeveloped young women are attracted to transgenderism because it’s a form of rejecting adult sexuality and adulthood, in a similar kind of way anorexia and political lesbianism are. Plus, devaluing other women as a defence, growing up a tall girl, the abject, the shortsightedness of being young, opting for stunts when can’t organise mass protests, and the phenomenon of 'Trans until graduation'.

Many who once found their political home on the Left feel as if they woke up in a new household, with new inhabitants, and the back garden on fire. Are we in the global North living in a post-Left era? We discuss that prospect, including the political dishonesty and cynicism of the Left today, and the far-Left's turn away from mass politics. Plus, how specifically women's politics change as they age, predictions of an atomised society where everyone communicates via avatar coming true, Kemi Badenoch, and how in the digital information economy self-confidence and lack of discipline reigns.
-
Does Transgenderism, as a personal fad and wider trend, mirror the lifecycle until adulthood? We discuss that in relation to the theme of Hannah's latest Substack article about internet culture in the 2010s. Before the dissolution of the distinction between internet culture and culture at large, the internet was a place where asocial oddballs could retreat and be siloed together, but today, as every generation moves online, a certain kind of 'reality testing' has emerged. All teenagers find relief in seeing other teens who talk about having problems because teenagehood is generally difficult, but eventually, everyone has to grow up and no longer rely on adolescent culture in order to be a normal, successful adult. Transgenderism functions as a kind of 'rebirth', renewal, and 'revelation' that extends that period of pre-adulthood, but only for so long.
The final third of the episode discusses the folk devil of the evil mother who won’t allow a loving father access to their children. That includes conversation about lesbian childrearing, family courts support of violent fathers, the taboo around father violence, and Sammy Woodhouse’s campaign against rapists rights. -
In the last week more details of Sean 'P Diddy' Combs' arrest and property raids have come to the light. Combs is to be charged with sex trafficking, multiple counts of sexual violence, and other serious offences. We discuss the Epstein-like aspects of the case, how men with enormous wealth, power, and influence, can create sexual economies of exploitation, access, and resource distribution in service of their own personal fiefdoms. Plus, the various rumours around the blackmail ring created by Combs and how this was all started by pop singer Cassie's lawsuit against him for various assaults. We also consider how privacy is becoming the number one value and luxury in our technological age, Ted Kaczynski's manifesto, and the loneliness of celebrity.
-
We contrast drag queen's humiliation of women with the unwillingness to humiliate men on similarly dark terms, using the examples of rap battling and drag kings. We also examine drag subculture as fuelled by sexual jealousy, with contempt and resentment towards women at the motivational heart of why gay men want to do drag queen performances in the first place. Plus, drag kings as banal cringe, the over-reliance on sexual humour in LGBT culture, the problem of what to do for gay rights nowadays from a third sector perspective, the great Mr Meno, LGBTQ+ politics as a strange mix of hyper-sexualisation and infantilism, and the way gay men sometimes use women in a similar way to how straight men do.
-
We discuss transgenderism as a subculture embraced by the bourgeois classes a decade ago, but more recently filtering down to the working-class and lumpen. This is how culture often works, the dominant classes introduce cultural forms or alternative lifestyles, but dispense with them once those forms become popularised. We make a distinction between how transgenderism operates for the elites, as a kind of currency and status signalling, whereas for the lower working-class and lumpen, it functions as a means of justifying their separation from social norms and, for some young women, as a cry help. Plus, Elliot Page and Mae Martin, Emo, and the Victorian trope of women living relatively bed bound due to 'nerves'.
-
Most women are not into ‘kink’, nowhere near the scale of men, so why do some claim to be? We discuss kink as a vocation for the 'low value' within the sexual marketplace, how liberal feminism successfully propagandised the idea that female sexuality is overall similar to male sexuality overall, and how being in receipt of another person's desire isn't novel. We also challenge the popular understanding that sexuality is an island away from the rest of your life. Plus, we discuss the absurd ‘lesbian prostitution’ film Concussion, consider why it is that demonising sexual contact entirely leads to later sexual dysfunction, and how denial / repression generally leads to psychosexual problems and psychosomatic illnesses.
-
The Tate brothers are facing charges of human trafficking, the trafficking of a minor, and running a criminal organisation in Romania, centered around their digital pimping of women to e-johns online. We discuss the latest news on the impending trial of the Tate's and explore the psychology behind Andrew Tate (the older more famous brother) who has groomed girls across continents via the internet, and lives his life in an openly sadistic, predatory manner. The episode also includes the definition of narcissism, the norms of prostitution, the Tate brother’s 'baby mamas' both as victims and perpetrators, and the showdown between the Trad Right vs. the Porno Right. Plus, Hannah’s fears for Generation Alpha, Candace Owens and antisemitism, and the three key specific elements that constitute human trafficking.
-
Is the GC Movement over in the UK and what will happen to it elsewhere? Are the divisions that have become more prominent due to a series of victories? Who counts as GC? Have we really won? And to what degree? We also discuss the characteristics of structurelessness, how the internet is where politics is transmitted today, but the confidence building of real life organising cannot be matched, and the conundrum of, if someone doesn't want to join a movement with conservatives, why join a movement with conservatives? Plus, the meaninglessness of land acknowledgments, that the term far-right means fascist, and how making politics bearable means also having the courage to be misunderstood.
-
Rachel Gunn, a 36-year-old academic with a Cultural Studies PhD in breakdancing, competed at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, resulting in much confusion and amusement caused by her comically poor performance. How did 'Raygun' get in the Olympics? Is it a stunt? Is she being bullied now by those lampooning her online? We discuss that saga and the conflation between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, with examples. Plus, Hannah’s views on Australian men, insane British TV shows, anonymous marking and standardised testing, the concept of the 'dead Indian', and TRA notions that objectify and utopianise indigenous populations.
-
The media and internet has been in uproar about two XY intersex males competing in the women's boxing during the 2024 Olympics. We discuss the history of intersex males competing in women's sport at the Olympics, second-wave feminist Shulamith Firestone's understanding of racialised intrasexual competition and racial solidarity towards men as part of heterosexual competition, DEI, 'white feminism', women's rugby player Ilona Maher, and disqualified intersex athlete Caster Semenya. Plus, lesbophobia in boxing, moralism and moralising, continental philosophy vs. analytic philosophy, why the upper middle-class are often thick as lack knowledge from experience, liberals as conflict avoidant, and the U.K. utterly falling apart over the last few weeks.
-
Ballerina Farm are the Trad lifestyle family vloggers going viral after a Times interview revealed the 'farm wife' had given up ballet at Juilliard to begin having her first of eight children with her husband, who is heir to a billion dollar airline.
We discuss the labour-intensive reality of farm work, the literal dirt involved in domestic labour that stays hidden, and how women’s time and labour is considered of less value to men’s. Plus, the cringe concept of ‘date night’, the nature of regret as forgoing rather than doing, opportunity as time-sensitive, men’s resentment online over women in cosy office jobs, rational choice theory, the perils of social media couple vlogging, lesbian’s fast pace of marriage and divorce, and British collective cynicism vs. American frontier individualism. -
With one presidential candidate nearly assassinated and another dropping out of the race altogether, we review the meltdown of U.S politics over the last fortnight. We also discuss JD Vance’s comments about only having as many votes as you have children, Kamala Harris's margaritas with senior management vibes, and we give our prediction that CIA asset Pete Buttigieg will be the Democratic VP nominee. Plus, the wider context of flashy U.S politics upstaging dreary U.K. politics, the denial breaking around Joe Biden's health, and why we should not be surprised by the terrible conduct of our political leaders given our societies are ruled by its social scum.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting last week announced Labour will uphold the UK ban on puberty blockers. We discuss Wes's political history of taking flack from LGBT groups, explore why gender non-conforming kids might view puberty blockers as a barrier to the onslaught of demonisation that gender non-conformity elicits (beyond the usual reason of a Munchausen by Proxy parent enforcing a trans identity on a child). We also comment on the pure and total horror gender non-conforming lesbians often receive from feminine heterosexual women, who genuinely think we would be better off cosplaying as straight men (as they are of highest value in their eyes) and how their endorsement and promotion of transgenderism is partly a sop to their own hostility.
For men and women invested in traditional gender norms, puberty blockers are understood as a hope for the future, where children who would likely grow up to by gay, are instead given the 'golden opportunity' of replicating the superior lives of those traditionalist heterosexuals who believe gender non-conformity to be a disease or medical problem to solve in the first place. The effect of 'transing' a child is also a message to other children about the absolute essentialism of gender. It sets up a pathologisation of all other gender non-conforming kids around the 'trans child', working as a political statement that seeks to ensure absolute conformity to gender norms, or risk being considered defective, and in need of urgent corrective medical intervention.We discuss examples of girls 'transitioned' in childhood who are bald and miserable by age 28, and women who have phalloplasties no longer being able to stand for more than 10 minutes at a time due to pain, or ride a bicycle as can’t grip the handlebars anymore. That true picture of cultural sadism, personal misery, and quasi-eugenics taking place through puberty blockers as the first step on the conveyer belt to the destruction of gay people's health and sexual function, often makes it hard to believe it can possibly be true. However, public awareness since the Cass Review combined with adults 'transed' as children documenting their heath disasters on social media, means no one can any longer claim ignorance when tribunals arrive.
