This week we hear from Sam and the launch of his new project series on the politics and theories of social collapse. In this first episode Sam introduces the project, sets out some terms and explains what we can expect in the weeks to come! 'The content will encompass collapsology, existential risk research, political theory, the politics and culture of collapse, information on practical movements for collective survival, climate systems breakdown, and the affirmation of an experimental attitude towards living and dying. If society is collapsing, what is to be done?' https://soundcloud.com/collapsepodcast https://collapsology.substack.com/

62 - Eric Zemmour w/ Rona Lorimer

We are joined by Rona Lorimer to discuss the career of fascist French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour. We discuss how Zemmour was allowed a position on mainstream French media, his articulation of a militant anti-feminism, his capacity to shake off scandal and the prospects for opposition to rising reaction in France. The interview was recorded before Russia invaded Ukraine so we didn't get to talk about the backlash to Zemmour's Putin friendly statements. Read Rona's article on Zemmour here: https://conversationalist.org/2022/02/03/softbois-in-france-the-rise-of-eric-zemmour-from-a-feminist-perspective/ https://www.instagram.com/ronalorimer https://twitter.com/laserveuse2
