Roger and Erica join Jay to dig into Digger, the latest film from Mexican director Alejandro Iñárritu. Panned by critics and audiences alike and projected to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, we think that the film’s central premises were almost universally misunderstood by people who expected a satire about politics and climate change — and instead got a satire about themselves. Warning: spoilers abound.

When a corporate landlord’s open contempt for its working-class tenants at a huge apartment complex in Montreal reached a breaking point, tenants decided to fight back with the help of a neighbourhood class struggle organization called Offensive Populaire (OP). The landlord, Norgate Quebec Inc., responded by suing tenants, OP, and individual members of OP like our guest Nick Harvest, enlisting the courts in a naked display of class warfare. The suit attempts to force tenants and organizers to cease their work through injunctions, and demands absurd damages for such crimes as ‘making things toxic’ (talking to one’s neighbours) and ‘defamation’ (talking about what is happening). Jay and Nick discuss OP’s work in organizing neighbourhoods, tenants’ rights as a site of class struggle, lawfare as a major tool of the enemy class, and the major gains won by Norgate tenants despite the continuous hostility on the part of the landlord and chronic disinterest on the part of the city government.

Jay is joined by the recently elected president of Canada’s New Democratic Party, Niall Ricardo.

Jay is joined by Emmaia Gelman, author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State.

The boom in AI datacentres is part of an anti-everything endgame strategy for capitalists who want to permanently win capital’s war against labour and complete, once and for all, the enclosure of the commons and the privatization of all stores of value, down to the last bytes of information. Roger and Erica join Jay to discuss the widespread, grassroots, and bipartisan surge in opposition to these enormous datacentre infrastructure projects. We also talk about the Pope’s encyclical, the psychospiritual ramifications of AI, and the Protestant work ethic versus Catholic social teaching versus whatever the f**k is going on with the new breed of neofascist techlords.
