Freewheelin’ Philistines

A semi-educated banter discussing Bluesky's new "no dogpiling" rules, a game we played live on air, and a broad discussion of 21st century fascism in the west.

On this Isaac and Shea gathering, they discuss sports with fall seasons just around the corner (Ahhh sports, another thing that is cooked). They then discuss another US Navy ship having toilet and power outages in the South China Sea, and it being another example of American decline, and more denigration of the current American culture. Finally with the anniversary of the Dakota War of 1862 passing this week, Isaac shares the story of an Andrew Jackson Myrick, an American asshole who wanted to starve the Dakota people, and with it, his comeuppance.Sources:https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hanifundraiser_in-deir-al-balah-palestinians-just-built-activity-7495925070784139264-Xp0Shttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/11/extinction-caspian-tiger-release-female-kazakhstan-aoehttps://x.com/paustokra/status/2089545050468311426https://picryl.com/media/map-of-lower-agency-buildings-1862-b2eee0Here is the book I read about the Dakota War, in case you are interested.https://www.oupress.com/9780806164342/massacre-in-minnesota/Free the Political PrisonersFree the political prisoners.Hosts: Shea and IsaacEdited and Produced: IsaacIntro: "The Machine" by Jackson WhalanOutro: "Palestinian Resistance Song - Resist (قاوم)"

After some initial ramblings, Isaac and Shea start out with making fun of a loser who got owned by Hezbollah, then delve into a variety of topics. From a bombing at a Kuwaiti airport, the prospects of continuous war, what the left can learn from the Bolivian general strike, the self-own of AI economy, and finally an opinion piece on the Jacobin criticizing Chris Smalls, which drew our ire.https://speakoutsocialists.org/what-is-happening-with-the-general-strike-in-bolivia/https://www.fox4news.com/news/woman-arrested-facebook-post-concerning-trinidad-water-poisoninghttps://jacobin.com/2026/06/smalls-amazon-labor-organizing-celebrityhttps://www.dropsitenews.com/p/lebanon-ain-arab-israeli-military-hezbollah-displacement-trump-Check us out on BlueSky and let's get the Patreon going so we can make y'all some extra content!https://linktr.ee/freewheelinphilistinesHosts: Shea and IsaacEdited and Produced: IsaacIntro: "The Machine" by Jackson WhalanOutro: "The Machine" by Jackson WhalanFree the political prisoners.
