We examine what arguments 'pro-worker conservatives' are making in an aim to rid the GOP of warmongers and what this says about their vision of politics. In that light we also look at the Trumpist wing and ask what they might have in common, if anything, with the former. And we debate the Canadian protests against vaccine mandates and the left's response to it so far.

Wow, a leftist authoritarian is having a moment. "We ask you to lose your bodily autonomy and demand wage rises instead."

This might have been the worst episode in the history of Bungacast, including the one with John McAfee.

If you're looking for manifestations of working class radicalism in anglophone North America forget the Freedom Convoy. There are many recent actual examples: the Kellogg's strike, the current Amazon organizing drive, the votes on Starbucks unionization, Strike-tober, etc. Those are actual working people, not petit bourgeois populists.
