Pill Pod 157 - Progressive v. Reactionary Christianity ft. John Hamer
2024/02/21
Listen to our public episodes ad-free, for free, at https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills Although Conservative Christians are the most attention-seeking of the Flock, our patrons reminded us that there are progressive Christians out there. For the sake of fair and balanced reporting, we invited John Hamer from Centre Place Toronto to represent the leftist side of the Christian Flock. We asked about his view of the church in history and in politics, and read this Christofascist article together. Find more of John's work on Youtube.

Pill Pod 156 - Christofascism
2024/02/14
Listen to our public episodes ad-free, for free, at https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills What if, instead of letting history end or disappear, we hit the rewind button and let the Church have another shot? We navigate through some stars in the Christofascist constellation and read Why Liberalism Failed (https://amzn.to/3waNh6l) to see what the world might look like if the Catholic intellectuals had their way.

Pill Pod 154 - Christian Intellectuals at the End of History
2024/02/08
Listen to our public episodes ad-free, for free, at https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills While no one is exactly happy that history has ended, few are quite as perturbed about it as Christian conservatives. We delved into a treasure trove of the Christian brain trust—"The Imaginative Conservative"—to piece together what they think history is for, and how they react to it's having ended.

Pill Pod 151 - The End of History
2024/01/14

This is mostly inspired by our reading of Fukuyama's book (https://amzn.to/3tPo5Bt) but the series won't be limited to it.
