A political deep dive with The Amazing Atheist

Episode 46 Sneak Peek

In this week’s banner example of purely performative politics, world leaders at the G20 summit are dealing with the most existential threat to humanity by leaving it up to luck. This clever post from our friends at the Gravel Institute — “Heads they do nothing, tails they hand out more oil and gas subsidies!” — reminds us that the people who hold the planet’s fate in their hands will do anything possible to escape accountability. Of course, this couldn’t have anything to do with pressure from fossil fuel lobbies, like those that fund Senate Democrats Manchin, Sinema, Hassan, Kelly, Coons, and Tester. Let’s not look at the photo below without remembering how fake our leaders’ helplessness is — and how real their financial ties to global destruction are.

This week, TJ Kirk, host of the Amazing Atheist channel, joins us to discuss his political journey from libertarianism to outspoken support for Bernie 2016 and 2020, as well as his views on atheism and religion in the US and everything that’s going on with the newly slashed budget bill. We hope you’ll join us for the conversation, which will be available as a video to paid subscribers this Friday evening. Everyone can stream the audio once it releases on Saturday, through Substack, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more. Thanks for tuning in.
