Not Politics the thesis (part 2) - Middle Paragraph: Medieval Times
The exciting sequel to last week's episode. Introducing crank intellectual Brooks Adams and his epic work The Law of Civilization and Decay, we take our time machine to #ancientrome, #thecrusades, and anywhere else we feel like in European history. Building from part one's attempt to define what politics is, this one is about why (and how) it went away. Follow @birdfanzines on twitter, maybe send him some new memes for his collection.

Not Politics the thesis (part 1) - Intro: Arendt and Habermas
We haven't abandoned you, and this time we have a whole new grift, our first multi-part series. The idea here is I present an idea to Mike as though its a thesis defence - the thesis being "not politics', and what that is. This episode is like the introductory chapter. We cover #arendt #hannaharendt, we cover #habermas, we cover the #publicsphere and the stupid old #enlightenment and #ancientgreece. Please say thank you to us for coming back on twitter at @birdfanzines and of course our super wordpress https://tinpolitics.wordpress.com/
