Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind And The Hopelesness Of Work
04/03/2024 Duración: 02h04minIt's a very chipper and uplifting episode, as Langdon and Eden tackle the question of revolutionary optimism, the role of hope (or lack thereof) in revolutionary politics, and the question of "doomerism".

Dreams, quotas, debt, rent, and monsters mix and clash as they tear the protagonist's (and our) lives apart.
