      Does it represent capital? I saw it more as specifically US Intelligence.

        Same thing.
        :::spoiler US intelligence is an arm of capital... or more specifically US intelligence is the convert action arm of the US executive branch (white house & its national security council) and that is a direct representative of US private capital. :::

          That is true, and I agree 100%. I was just saying that in the context of the podcast and the whole theme of Blowback, they examine how US intelligence agencies and armed forces maintain a cycle of violence that can refresh capital with new fronts of exploitation. So the weird goo stuff is more specific than the entirety of capital.

      It's a podcast, but the first 3 seasons are fantastic. I'd recommend them.

      They are absolutely amazing. However, you can go ahead and listen to this season first. I don't think you need to catch up.

      They're all self-contained examples of blowback, each season is a deep dive on a specific historical example of blowback. They're all great and I would reccomend you pick one of the previous seasons and listen to it. Season 4 will be coming out slowly for free or rapidly if you pay for it.

      I recommended you listen to an earlier season but you could instead just go here to the below post. This will let you download Season 4 and talk about it with people while everybody is talking about it. Whether you're poor or undecided you can always pay for it later when you have cash or decide you like it. That's what I did for the second season.

    I can sense it. Not yet present, but on the verge of being. The trough. It dwells just beyond my vision. Full of fresh and tasty slop. Soon. Soon, my snout descends.

    I noticed that my credit card had been charged for 'Blowback" and I was like "wtf I didn't know that was a recurring charge is there even a new season?" Yes, there is and I'm happy to pay for it.

    I just noticed how in the second montage sequence all the movement continues in a circle around the screen. What goes around comes around.

    Just subscribed for the new season, wonder what time today it will drop.

    Wait, did I just accidentally pay for season 3 instead? I hope not since I already listened to that when it came out.
