Episode 85 - Communism: Rate the Fart.

<p>This installment of the Epoch is back to business, the first mostly normal episode since the war began. We open with a discuss of NATO subtweets, masterclass pro-war propaganda, Why liberals love Zelensky and his use of emergency powers, refugees for labor, the US's attempts to privately influence China -- in the open, and the moral scope of war. In more domestic news, Joe examines labor issues in Major League Baseball, Jesse looks into rampant Russophobia overtaking American business and culture. We also talk a little about Michelle Wu, and local Nazi sightings in the Boston area. As always, thank you for listening, and please enjoy, and share your Epoch!</p> <p>Check out our |<a href="https://www.patreon.com/epicincredulity" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a>| for bonus content and access to our Discord.<br> <br> Please visit |<a href="https://comrade-rosie.org/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">comrade-rosie.org</a>| for resources in the greater Boston area.<br> </p> <p>---Timestamp---</p> <p>00:00:00 - Intro<br> 00:01:45 - NATO Tweets<br> 00:04:01 - Pro-War Propaganda<br> 00:05:39 - Zelensky's emergency powers and Martial Law in Ukraine<br> 00:07:50 - Why liberals love Zelensky<br> 00:10:49 - Moral scope<br> 00:14:30 - Refugees for labor<br> 00:15:40 - Privately influencing China in the open<br> 00:21:01 - Plugging the Patreon, plugging Lenin<br> 00:22:30 - Loan collectors upset about student loan moratorium<br> 00:24:05 - Baseball<br> 00:33:35 - Hillary Clinton has COVID<br> 00:34:40 - Citgo sign blocked by development<br> 00:36:20 - NYT pro-nuclear war<br> 00:39:09 - Russophobia<br> 00:47:39 - Michelle Wu<br> 00:50:43 - Local Nazis<br> 00:53:42 - SEGEMENT - You Can't Make This Shit Up w/ Comrade Chava<br> 00:59:00 - Outro and social media<br> 01:04:35 - Slam Recommendation of the week<br> 01:11:14 - Extras<br> </p> <p>---Audio credits---</p> <p>Theme music by Contingence - <a href="https://soundcloud.com/contingenceBoston" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/conting
