Professional Left Podcast Episode 882: Twenty Plus Years of Asymmetry.


“History is a vast early warning system.” -- Norman Cousins

Ep 882 Twenty Plus Years of Asymmetry

March 11, 2025

We're back with our latest episode, examining how the rope of crony corruption binds our politics asymmetrically - a pattern we've been observing for over twenty years in American politics and media.

The heart of our conversation explores how right-wing media continues to dominate local airwaves while progressive voices face constant scrutiny and advertising challenges. I'll take you back to 2005 to show how little has changed - or how much worse it's gotten.

In other news, FAFO hits federal workers as their own MAGA families fail to sympathize.  And some surprising resistance (and huge audiences) are forming in expected quarters. (Hi, Bernie!)

Join us for this not-safe-for-work discussion as we continue broadcasting from the Cornfield Resistance on March 11, 2025.

It's really simple. If you want white Americans to get rid of something that benefits them the most, paint it in blackface. DEIA, public workers. You name it. They will gladly rush to the front of the line, torches in hand.

It is hard to put the blame on the Rush Limpaw. Republicans are missing certain unidentified human genes that inflicts them from birth to be receptive to Any flying monkey soaring by. It leaves them without the ability to admit facts can over ride their "beliefs".
It is how there are certain right wingers on the verge of extinction for not adapting that Earth is not flat.
many are functioning like a functioning alcoholic as it pertains to certain necessary abilities to hold a job, pay their bills. But this inherent illness of piety, how everyone else is a sinner, a loafer eating free lunches that they pay for.
There is some sort of need to see others they disapprove of to suffer, be punished, be put in their place, which is always in a lower place than themselves.
Like the religious factor. I am closer to Gid than all of you. This means we need to make laws. Religious laws of my creation for you to obey. Damn sinners. It does occur far too much in religious organizations.
It is one thing for everyone to protect Spartacus by a;; claiming to be him . It is another to claim to be him or better for aggrandizement to inflate ones ego and standing in the eyes of others and at their expense.
