Do you ever feel like life in the United States doesn’t make any sense? Is the daily barrage of hypocrisy and lies you’re being fed getting to you? Do you feel sick, agitated, or anxious, and don’t know why? Join your hosts Dick and Don as they excavate the contemporary capitalist hellscape in which we find ourselves in search of the cause of our collective malaise. Follow along as we dig deep into historical persons, places, and events to expose what’s been concealed, and reveal the US-led global order for what it truly is: the Fourth Reich.

#066 - FAUX Kings

This week we are calling an audible and deviating again from our regularly scheduled programming to do a special episode on the (spectacle of the) No Kings March. As we are always looking for opportunities for the practical application of Fourth Reich Archaeology theory we could not help but put on our hard hats, sharpen our pick axes, and get to examining what history’s largest protest REALLY means for Democracy.

Of course we think it’s absolutely essential that people organize, gather, and show strength in numbers against the fascist agenda currently running roughshod over the United States and beyond. In fact we want to see much more organization, ideally organization with discrete goals, employing tactics actually designed to achieve them. But in the wake of the No Kings March, we can’t help but feel like this one was just another performative, astroturfed event - a swan song for Progressivism, Inc. - that helps the powers that be enforce the two party model, funnel popular anger into electoralism (and the institutional Democratic Party), and distract the people from true organization.

In this episode, as usual, we use the text of Guy Debord and track how his words have come to life in 2025. Just as Debord saw in his time, it seems like it’s impossible to find anything authentic within the spectacle, and the spectacle has turned all of its subjects into its defenders. The No Kings March is the embodiment of that, complete with its Byzantine network of corporate donors.

Spoiler alert, we get pretty down and dirty in this one. Let’s get digging.
