    A Secret Third Thing with Erica Thomas

    As the masked goons of the MAGA nanny-state continue to disappear students for holding views upsetting to hysterical Zionists and their sweaty, senile leader continues to rule by deranged imperial decree executive order, we sit down with Erica Thomas, a union organizer, professor and artist, to talk about what’s going on in our increasingly unhinged southern neighbour, the USA. We talk about the Portland police force’s weird attempt to join the Oregon labour movement, the enshittification of higher education and everything else, and the state of Palestine organizing on campuses today. We also talk about union art, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the possibility, at long last, of the emergence of a true third party in US politics.

    Resisting Climate Apocalypse with Last Generation

    Depressing but true: we’re hurtling toward human-caused climate collapse and our political-economic system, captured by capitalist elites intent on squeezing out profits until the day our civilization collapses, is effectively incapable of responding by itself. It must be forced: but how? Petitions haven’t worked. Rallies haven’t worked. Posting on Instagram hasn’t worked. And ****ing up pipelines, sexy though it might be, hasn’t worked. So while purists call for mass eco-insurgency and liberals circulate change.org petitions, the A22 Network has responded by organizing and mobilizing huge numbers of committed militants around the Western world, using large-scale civil disobedience as a tactic to push governments to adopt basic climate policies. These tactics have been controversial but successful: Just Stop Oil, the British branch of A22 perhaps best known for throwing soup at a Van Gogh, recently disbanded itself because its main demand — that the UK government cease approving any new oil and gas exploitation projects — has been adopted. In Episode 81 we chat with Laura Sullivan, a spokesperson for Last Generation Canada, which is the Canadian branch of the A22 Network. We talk about Last Generation’s demands, the tactics used by the group, combating the freeze response often provoked by discussions of climate collapse, and preparing for revolutionary conditions as things inevitably deteriorate.

    Psychiatry, Psychedelics and the Maps We Carry with Rose Cartwright

    Plagued from a young age by disturbing intrusive thoughts and unable to control dangerous compulsive behaviours, 3 Body Problem screenwriter and best-selling author Rose Cartwright was immensely relieved to learn that she had a disease called OCD, which was caused by a chemical imbalance in her brain and could be easily treated with a pill. She became the UK’s poster girl for recovery from OCD, and even wrote a book called Pure—later adapted into a TV show—about the success of the psychiatric model in treating her disorder. But years later, having sunk back into chronic suicidality, she struggled with the fact that this model hadn’t really produced any kind of long term relief. Then she discovered something astounding: that there is no biological basis for most of the disorders in the DSM, and the ‘chemical imbalance’ theory of mental illness had been quietly discredited years ago. She embarked on a quest to understand what was going on, resulting in her groundbreaking book The Maps We Carry: Psychedelics, Trauma, and Our New Path to Mental Health. In Episode 80, we talk to Rose about her story and her research, getting into the failures of the medical system to treat mental illness effectively, the amazing properties of psychedelics in this field, and the question of how to give working class people access to these new, important tools.
