187. Imperial Delusions -- Luke Kemp

Luke Kemp rejoins me to discuss the second part of Goliath's Curse, "Imperial March and Fall." Luke and I start off talking about why empires and states are actually the same thing, and move from there to various ways that people justify imperial politics, what it's like to be anti-empire when surrounded by defenders of empire, and how we can try to get the machine of empire to stop.Here's the link to buy the book: https://flyleafbooks.com/book/9780593321355And here are Luke's previous appearances on the podcast:https://www.everydayanarchism.com/166-goliaths-curse-luke-kemp/https://www.everydayanarchism.com/146-james-c-scotts-two-cheers-for-anarchism-luke-kemp/https://player.captivate.fm/episode/2c8105f0-611f-4545-b632-e868e5039840/

Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit What You Thought ?
