(Part 2/2) Guest: Thomas from Republic of Morality - A Look at Traditions and Progress, and Caribbean Politics
This is the second and larger part of our interview with Thomas from Republic of Morality. We discuss some European elections, then move to the bread and butter of Thomas' current sphere of thought. We also talk about what small-scale communities could look like, and probably spend more time talking about that than we should have.

The New Political Values Test, And What Does Progressive Really Mean?
We take the Political Values Test, developed by Samuel and Anacreon. We briefly go through a range of topics, from consent of the governed to separation of church and state.
The test is at politicalvaluescompass.pythonanywhere.com.
Included is a formal introduction to the structure of the Values Compass and its terms.
It now plots you on color coded quadrants, and displays current data on other's results.

Guest: Anacreon - Stagnation of Western Society, We're Not About To Collapse, (But That Might Be Worse)
This episode we have on our second guest, Anacreon, to discuss his new political compass, social stagnation, and a slew of branching topics. If you have any interest in living in a society, or want to know how fascism is progressive, go follow Anacreon on Instagram @totallynotanacreon. (We got scared when he mentioned surplus value, but trust us, he's not a commie). If you would like to take Anacreon's new political compass, the link is: politicalvaluescompass.pythonanywhere.com/.
