Professor Anita Say Chan's book Predatory Data: Eugenics in Big Tech & Our Fight for an Independent Future ties Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and the tech billionaires empowered under Trump to eugenics movement of the 19th and 20th centuries with chilling specificity. She offers two key insights: first, that the focus on "merit" is an effort to convince Americans to give up democracy (in which everyone gets a vote/say/rights on the basis of their humanity) in favor of a system where various characteristics (such as IQ/race) "qualify" one for human rights. Second, she argues that by claiming only they (and their individual genius) can save the world, tech giants are persuading Americans that government should shrink to a "benevolent autocracy" where the rich rule. As Peter Thiel has said, "I no longer believe that freedom and Democracy are compatible." Seen through the lens of the eugenics movement, the end goals become shockingly clear, as does the role the left must play. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast Vanity Fair recently published a provocatively-titled piece saying "Chapo Trap House Isn't Going to Save the Democrats." Comedian and podcaster Jake Flores joins Bad Faith along with Institute for Middle Eastern Understanding communications director Hamid Bendaas for a deep dive on the article, whether the trajectory of one of the left's most popular podcasts is reflective of the broader despondency on the left, and whether the pod has the power to help course correct the left back toward the optimism of the Bernie years. Hamid brings important IMEU stats showing the effect of the Gaza genocide on electoral outcomes, and the pair assess the liberal blame game which seeks to put the onus on everything except for the Democrats' own failures -- including the "dirtbag left."

They go on to have a broader conversation about the ceasefire agreement, the likelihood it will hold, and why it is that lame duck Joe Biden allowed Trump this win when achieving even a temporary ceasefire months ago might have won Democrats the White House.

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast What's next for labor under Trump? Biden's reputation as the most pro-union President in a generation took a hit with his opposition to the railroad strike a year ago and was further diminished following recent reporting that Kamala Harris dismissed Teamsters president Sean O'Brien saying, "I'll win with or without you." The Democrats' procedural bungle also resulted in the National Labor Relations Board swinging Republican two years before it had to. Certainly things could get worse under Trump, but is there evidence for optimism in the labor space? Author of the new book We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor & Winning Big Eric Blanc joins Bad Faith to make the case.

How has advocacy for criminal justice reform changed since the BLM era, and to what extent did Democratic leadership fail the moment? Is there any optimism that liberals will recommit to the criminal justice promises they claimed to espouse during Trump's first term now that he's returning to the White House? Or does the decision of blue state liberals like NY Gov. Kathy Hochul to run to the right on these issues portend a further rightward drift over the next four years? And did the left bring this rightward shift on itself by not taking crime concerns seriously (à la Ana Kasparian's argument)? Or is something else at play?

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast This week Brie is joined by a stacked panel of journalists -- Irami Osei-Frimpong, Q Anthony Ali, & Zaid Jilani -- to discuss the new divide on the right that emerged after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy defended the use of H1-B visas to import labor from India for tech jobs. Conservative opponents of these visa recipients find themselves making populist arguments decrying the downward pressure on American wages and the competitive disadvantage college debt causes for American workers. But at the same time, they engage in racist anti-Indian stereotyping. Are Elon and Vivek right about American culture making workers too apathetic and less competitive? Do Americans suffer from watching too much Saved by the Bell and not enough Whiplash (a real argument made by Vivek)? And does this discourse provide an opportunity for the left to provide a material anaysis that could start to draw right populists to the left?

Are those claiming that "Bernie would have won" in 2016 and 2020 right? Or is there a case to be made for the more centrist Democratic Party approach -- even now?

amazing episode
Democrats are poll-tested cretins who will race to the bottom at every opportunity..." So very true.
Recently I read that Jill Stein is campaigning hard and I have Cornell West as the main contestant for a third option instead of Jill Stein. That being said, the third alternatives seem to be competing for votes instead of adding up efforts to be a real option against Reps and Dems. I would like to have a deeper discussion on how a multiparty system in the US would benefit progressive policies. Here we have a glimpse of a multiparty system that is clearly not working in favor of progressives.
piss ode
THREE HOURS?!?! I adore Bri and think she's fantastic. I can't listen to Norman for 3 hours. I just can't.
another great interview thank you
That was disturbing. I'd never heard Kyle before, and his constant cursing and belittling of Brianna Gray was misogynistic mansplaining and verbal intimidation. The 30-second silence at about 41:00 after his little rant said so much.
He always speaks truth to power.
way over my head. what little I understood was interesting, but so many terms that I don't know. When Bri did the 4-square grid, I knew that I couldn't catch up. maybe give brief explanations of concepts/terms?
THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing on Professor Kelton...it's good to hear a nuanced perspective on MMT!
vaush is such an idiot...
https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2023/1/30/budgetary-cost-of-proposed-income-driven-repayment?trk=feed-detail_main-feed-card_feed-article-content Food for thought...a ridiculous amount of means testing has yielded what we already should have known to be true. #ForgiveStudentDebt
Vaush should be on the cover art of this show.
you were right and they were very wrong
Cirincione is the only "catastophe" here. A stumbling, fumbling, incoherent, irrational mess, if I ever heard one. He exposed himself as nothing but a mindless, blue-anon, hypocrite and a useful idiot for the military industrial complex. lol. I dont know how someone can be a neocon and an antiwar activists at the same time, but somehow Cirincione is pulling it off. Talk about cognitive dissonance.
Union leaders say they are speaking for the worker if they don't fight for more, but in reality, they are speaking for the workers SHIFT and not anythingoutside of that
I'm not sure I've ever been more disappointed in a political guest who had the right motive but refuses to recognize the corruption of the Democratic party... and I'm not sure I've ever been as proof of a host, like BJG for pushing back and at least suggesting that this party and independent of the only way to go. the Democrats get away with their electoral Cruces precisely because of people like Zogby who will never leave them. once enough people do and they truly start losing and practicing, ONLY then will changes be made to appease the left. I'd heard great things about Bad Faith but the ACTUAL podcast exceeded even those expectations. WTG BJG!
lol. theres no debate in China because the government forced them. lol
GREAT episode. Its nice, to hear people speaking sense about the Ukraine situation. Not much of that going on lately... you, dore, a few others.. nobody in politics or mainstream media. Its fcking insane... so many people in the West have gone off the deep-end..
the point about desire for communication being a tell was excellent.
