Bonus Sample: War Is the Continuation of Policy with Other Means
Description
Air Date: 4-29-24
Today, Jay!, Amanda, Deon and Erin discuss:
- how the film 'Civil War' intentionally avoids any specifics about the "why", and in doing so becomes a perfect encapsulation of the Amanda Principle™
- how "the view from nowhere" journalism is supposed to be straight down the middle and fact-based, but is actually rife with bias and ends up representing the dominant culture
- that America and its culture has been steeped in war and violence since it's inception
- the similarities between modern America and Germany in 1933
