SUPPORT US: Patreon Paypal FOLLOW US: IG Twitter Hayden kicks off this episode with a brief history of Gaddafi-era Libya in order to contextualise a discussion of clashing narratives surrounding the failed-state status of what was once a prosperous case study for the realisation of post-colonial ambitions. Following this, the guys address the embedded arrogance in Western intervention in the development and economic contexts, as well as the inherent contradictions within the Western conception of 'freedom'. Lastly, Damon gives his take on Chinese state media's criticism of COVID-19 vaccines being used by the West as political weapons, the shaky foundations of efficacy studies, and more.
