The Battler

This week, the Dagong brothers are thrilled to discover that there is a whole genre of Chinese literature called “Battler” writing (打工诗歌), based on migrant workers that went from rural to industrial areas in the late 20th century.
They’re also thrilled to discover that Russel Brand is going away for a long time, and to dive into the Silvey Sorry day. They’re thrilled to develop short man/little guy theory, Marxist nimbyism theory, left wing class fear theory, Sidney Nolan horizonist theory and a healthy admonition of all other leftwing podcasters in Australia. Get it where you get it.
Thanks as always to Dan “Dagong” Dare for production.

This week the w*rker jih*dis are talking kkkaos in Ausstralia and Amerikkka, from RBA class war to the Shoebridge Program, to the Nation of Juggaloes, to the Trump Ass Patrol and competence nostalgia, to Anakin/Malfoid lore and back to Latham Undone. Ep recorded before midterms, photo confected thereafter.

Thanks as always to “Demokkkrat” Dan Dare for production.

This week the r*thless two are chatting with music and film writer Anwen Crawford about her book on the 2002 film Morvern Callar by Lynne Ramsay. They talk about the cinema of the early 21st century, the false promises of “classless” British culture, the utopian impulse of raves, and the film itself, before moving to more familiar territory of activist memory and security culture in the Australian Left. Anwen also explains her idea of “lyric realism” to define films like this.
You can get her book from Decadent editions, and see her reading at At Large on November 26 at Sean and Dollys.

Mrs Timwintoncellectuals is back from his nuptial bliss and straight back into the guts of the kulturkampf as he and Pat walk through the wasteland of the last couple of weeks. From the Jordon Steele-John allegations, to endemic abuse and misogyny in politics right and left, to rising violence, to the absolutely cactus machinery of diagnosis that our media and political class use to make sense of all of this, the l*ds are at full throttle. Also, the French are copying Cronulla, the great revolution of the 21st century, Professor X is using mutants as cheap labour, and Australians are losing their minds because Pat has told them to stop reading children’s books. 
As always, you are at the coalface with the B*ttlers, fighting a rearguard action against the forces of cultural Paulinification and the fight for the right to be idiots. 
Sorry we’re late this week; Tim promises never to get married again.
 
Thanks as always to Dan “The Directorate” Dare for production.
