Episode 65: “The Revolt of the Guards”

In this week’s episode of Coffee with Comrades, we sit down with Jack and Brett to chat about veterans on the left. We talk about healthcare, horror stories, toxic masculine machismo, winning over allies, and the unique ways late-stage capitalism compels young folks to enter the armed forces. What’s more, Jack and Brett talk about the unfortunate ways certain segments of the left twist legitimate anti-war and anti-imperialist sentiment into hatred for veterans. Follow Jack on Twitter and check out his website, Veterans Left. Follow Brett on Twitter and listen to his podcast, Dumb and Awful.

Episode 58: “An Exceptional Lack of Innocence” ft. Danny Haiphong

Hey, y’all! This week, we weren’t able to record a current events segment, but we did wanna share one urgent bit of news with you. The Trump Admininstration announced it would be officially pulling U.S. troops out of North Eastern Syria, essentially green-lighting the invasion of territory held by Rojava’s revolutionaries. Pearson shares the SDF general command’s statement on the matter and urges international solidarity demonstrations. Danny Haiphong joins us for the hour to chat about the book he co-authored, American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People’s History of Fake News—From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror. We critique about U.S. imperialism and discuss the ways the U.S. asserts its innocence even as it manipulates and exploits geopolitics. – Pick up a copy of American Exceptionalism and American Innocence! – Follow Danny on Twitter. – Check out Black Agenda Report online.
