this episode of "it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine" was made possible by contributions from slaves like you spank you very much. For five years I've been traveling across the country learning and listening and one of the most hopeful signs i've seen is this new drug crack. each time I meet with someone new I yearn to find a way to help share the message that drugs open your eyes to life, to see it in the vivid colors that God gave us as a precious gift to our children to enjoy life to the fullest, and to make it count, so to my young friends out there life can be great and when it comes to drugs and alcohol there's a big wonderful world out there for you [It's the END of the World AS we KNOW it and I feel FINE] goooood morning slaves and welcome to another sedition of "It's the END of the World AS we KNOW it and I feel FINE" the show were sexist porkers get their just desserts what is it? Chicken François, Jack. I wish you'd stop reading those magazines. Whatever happened to meat and potatoes? I don't know, Jack. You tell me. I'm your host stimulater and this past weekend millions of women from across the world took to the streets to celebrate International Women's Day and to collectively assert their demands for reproductive autonomy and anti-sexual violence and social economic and political equality with their male counterparts. my hope and it's the hope of all the world's women - is that men and women be equal both of them. the same rights and the same duties although the holiday itself has long since been coopted by evil fucking corporations NGOs and international development agencies it was originally started by commies and for over a century It has served as an important date for militant demonstrations by badass revolutionary feminists of all political stripes way back in 1917, It was a riot on International Women's Day march in saint petersburg that first kicked off the Russian Revolution. (ALARM RINGING) wait, wait, what is that? "...incoming troll..." Uh, what's with all this stale ass orthodox Marxism and liberal identity politics garbage? for fuck sake who let this troll in here. Joey, what the fuck is going on back there ...Mama!! no seriously, Stim. what happened to you. first do an episode on Murray bookchin and now you're big upping International Women's Day and the Russian Revolution? when did you start to drinking the leftist cool ade? what do you have coming up after the musical break, Taylor Swift singing the fucking internationally? stick to the riot porn stim. uh, some of us are trying to realize our fucking desires here? well then maybe you should actually go and riot yourself instead of just watching clips online and be sure film it so that you can be on my fucking show without wasting everyone's time like this don't tell me what to do "leftist"! there is to be a revolution, there must be a revolutionary party. it seems like anytime feminist issues are critiques get raised, some cisgender dude feels the overwhelming need to freak the fuck out I know he like, sexually asaulted someone, but he does really good work. within anarchist circles this behaviors often flagged as "MANARCHISM" and while it's come to be generally acknowledged that sometimes peeps can go a bit overboard calling folks out for their privilege this should not be used as an excuse by anarchist to gloss over the fact that male entitlement, is a huge fuckin problem and the patriarchal social relations that underpin it need to be fucking smashed men and boys are in crisis and they need your help and they need your support because they are human being too. in recent years certain defenders of male privilege in North America have coalesce into a slimy community of fedora wearing ponytail Crusaders known as men's rights activists or "MRA"s tonight's broadcast of the masculine feminist has been commandeered by the secret society no ma'am national organization of man against amazonian masterhood these sad pathetic loser spend the majority of their time lurking on reddit forums, hating on feminists and blaming the past three decades of women's advancements for the fact that sometimes life under capitalism is fucking hard what are you doing? shut up stupid girlfriend! wrrrrrrrrrr!!! patriarchy! now, even though MRAs are easy to make fun of that doesn't mean that they aren't dangerous and that their misogynistic youtube rants don't have serious consequences in real fucking life on the day of retribution I am going to enter the hottest sorority house of UCSB and I will slaughter every single spoiled stuck up blond...slut I see inside there. MRAs often downplay or even flat out deny the extremely high levels of gendered harassment and physical assault that women have to deal with every fucking day this all-pervasive atmosphere of sexual violence is often referred to as rape culture and it is the primary weapon used by men to maintain their dominant social position under patriarchy. Relax. we'll be gone in a moment. or...I will. I've hired these men to lurk on your sidewalk and pay you compliments all day long. for the better part of a decade now in northern India a movement a badass women known as the Gulabi Gang has been building itself a fierce reputation in a membership numbering in the tens of thousands recognizable by their matching bright pink saris these women patrol the countryside of Uttar Pradesh, looking for abusive men and kicking the shit outta them with huge bamboo sticks can anyone fight alone? power comes from struggle then my battle is not for myself alone, I have seen the pain that women suffer and they just keep on joining me. Any woman who is suffering is with me, it's their battle. in addition to targeting individual rapists and wife beaters the women of the Gulabi Gang have been known to lay down beatings on misogynistic cops, corrupt politicians and greedy bosses all while running massive self defense trainings and advocating for broader social transformation. While india is by no means a bastion of gender equality the actions of the Gulabi Gang have resonated strongly with women across the country and have helped to spark a growing shift in public perceptions around sexual assault and gender dynamics and through their uncompromising physical attacks on the defenders of male privilege, they provide important lessons for feminist movements here in the Global North. If MRAs think they have it bad now maybe they need to be reminded that it can always get a whole lot fucking worse. This is not a song to get a girl here Or get a girl to bed A proclamation that the Queen is shot and dead 'Cause way too many peers of mine kick rhymes Throwin' lines like "Queen" in they vocabing At the same time grindin' on a woman at a club While the wife spend the nights with his kids He sees his life like a bid While his wife bought him shit when words fly So, I'm here to check these brothers Tell these sisters they ain't lyin' I know these players out here say I'm blockin' that cock Thing is I'm man enough to step up while the rest of y'all not Some of y'all got daughters, and all of y'all got moms Y'all be treating other women like y'all hate y'all moms Kanye had a coma who taught woman at Clark But when he raps, he be beats every young woman apart Right? Somebody check me if I'm wrong Take a bad yellow bitch and make her drop them draws; The Queen is Dead! Oombayabaya I heard the Queen was dead (I heard the Queen was dead) I heard the Queen was dead i say Oombayabaya I heard the Queen was dead (I heard the Queen was dead) I heard the Queen was dead in 2006, mexico's former (人の名前) announced that he was launching a military operation to rein in the country's increasingly powerful drug cartels VIVA MEXICO! two years into this campaign calderone's greasy gringo companeros in the US State Department escalated shit up by introducing plan marida multi-billion dollar joint security initiative aimed at further militarizing the Mexican state we are supporting Mexican law enforcement or for that matter colombian law enforcement Central American law enforcement we're not just helping or supporting Mexico or Columbia or Central America were getting real direct value and impact in the United States of America i promised the american people i would do something about the drugs pouring into this country you are. support the columbians' efforts against the cartels with equipment and... that accomplish nothing now nearly a decade into the so-called war on drugs over 100,000 peeps have been killed or disappeared by paramilitary cartels and members of the mexican popo. despite the staggering death toll the drug trade is still going strong with some estimates putting its total value at between 25 to 30 billion fucking dollars per year drugs... why? in order to understand this incredibly fucked up situation I recently caught up with Dawn Paley freelance investigative journalist and author of a new book put up by AK Press entitled "drug war capitalism" hey Dawn, how the fuck are you? pretty fucking good, thanks. so what the fuck is drug war capitalism? drug war capitalism is about how the drug war is is not actually about cocain and marijuana but but it's actually about expanding capitalism creating these conditions for more capitalism in mexico, in central America, columbia and elsewhere. in your book you say that the drug war is a war on the people. just what the fuck do you mean by that? so when I say that the drug war is a war on people what i mean is that it's not a war about cocain it's not about marijana it's about controlling. social control. and i argue that social control through the drug war. in mexico, in central america, in columbia, is excercised through through terror. so you have tons of disappearances, murderers, threats, all kinds of aggressions against regular folks by the state and by some of the cartels and paramilitary groups that's what the drug war is about. and that's what i mean by "war on the people." in your book you also say that Naomi Klein's shock doctrine theory didn't work in mexico. talk about that. so in her book the Shock Doctorine, Naomi Klein explains that the shock doctrine took place in mexico and what i argue in this book is that it just didn't go far enough in the same I argue, for example, that NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement didn't go far enough to open up Mexico to foriegn direct investment and transnational capital you still have over half of the land in Mexico is communally owned, you know, until a year and a half ago you know one of the largest oil companies owned by the Mexican government and so those are the kinds of changes that weren't possible through that first attempt, the shock doctorine. that's where i argue the drug war comes in. Is there a connection between the wars on drugs and the 43 missing normalista students? I argue that it's deeply connected to the war on drugs i mean, what the war on drugs has done in mexico through the Merida Initiative with a huge amount of U.S. funding is militarize the entire country create all these splinter groups and fractions of you know, of trafficing groups, and basically make the country a far more violent place. so the drug war - the Merida initiative - is crucial in creating the context for something like the kidnapping of 43 students by police and their disappearance possible I think before the drug war started it would have been pretty hard to imagine something like that happening here, like, ten years ago, for example. Recently Mexican pigs captured top Setacantrero grand wizard, Omantrarovino Morales??? and Knights Templar pimbraca Servando Gomez??? does this mean that the Mexican government is finally doing their fucking job? I think, Stim, that you gotta ask yourself what the Mexican government's job is. um, I think that... What I argue in the book is that their job is just like other states, just like every other state in the world. it's to, um, you know ensure that corporations are able to work on their territories within a legal framework and enrich the elite while fucking over, um, you know, the majority of the population will the capture of these two pimp grand wizards actually reduce violence in Mexico? No, infact, you know we've seen over and over again, and the opposite is true. when they capture these types of folks or kill them, usually just leads to more violence thanks Dawn. and that's about it for this sedition of "it's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine" as is customary i'd like to acknowledge the slaves who put some cash out of their nearly empty wallets to help make this anti capitalist propaganda video mash happen so many fucking thanks to Gary, Noemi, Chris, Robbie, am, Elizabeth, Monica, Justin,Liam Andres, Jackie, Ballentine, Jennifer, francois, Benjamin, David, but it on Carol, Shannon, Dylan, Migel Stephen, Kyle, Christian, Edward, Johnson, Sarah, Gregory Julian, Audrey, analenso, Thomas, Carly, Breton, jostina, jerad, Britney, Catherine, Kirk, James, Michael, Wesley, McKay a Marisol oliver ansohn yet Jensen Jason Samantha Peter Jeffrey frankel Gabrielle Danielle Martin bear Andrew Jan and mmm Darren Maltahinda (??) also like to give a warm welcome to the newest members of the .conspiracy sebastiann Lydia hot lead enema am sexual chocolate...chocolatina also want to let ya motherfuckers know that February was our biggest fucking month yet in terms of reach. and the videos we put out that month touched over 100,000 pairs of eyes. not bad for a low budget anarchist news show but we owe a bit of gratitude to the folks who help spread the word and share our shows when they come out. so wanna send a spicy guacamole shout out to "a revolt digital anarchy" "films for action" "you're a non-us???"
