Ep 119 - Merci bad coup w/ Eric-John Russel The Antifada

Scholar and madman Eric-John Russel joins us to discuss his journal the Cured Quail, the political origins of the Situationist International, and Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle.

After that Sean and Andy discuss Trump's low-energy coup attempt, especially why so many anticipated it and why it doesn't seem to be working.
