Continuing the topic from the episode prior, The Manufacturing Dissent Duo sign off until Season 2 discussing the recent trip to San Francisco by Chinese President Xi Jinping, and his juxtaposition to the current political class of the US. Hani and Shawn also briefly discuss the military backgrounds and clandestine ties of previous US Presidents and the inability to recognize a warrior society when the call-is-coming-from-inside-the-house.

Hani and Shawn sit down to discuss the recent Pakistan and the upcoming US elections, as well as the societal dysfunction that’s spread corresponds to the slow but ever-quickening unwinding of the US settler-imperial project (7:53); soon(ish), the duo tries to answer the timeless question “are reactionary tendencies and ahistorical perspectives en-masse a result of naivete or willful ignorance?” (Spoiler: The answer is C. All of the Above) and reminisce at the systemic depoliticization of shared spaces (31:06), before turning their attention to the political imprisonment of Imran Khan and the political deadlock in Pakistan (40:30). Along the way, a series of even more difficult questions also found its way into the conversation, such as: Who will win the Democratic Primary? Can Joe Biden survive (literally and figuratively) till election day, and if not, who will be the actual Democratic nominee? How and whom will the DNC manage to rebrand and coalesce around as the new candidate within the next 9 months? Find out THIS TIME on Manufacturing Dissent.

Aman finally decided to join Hani and Shawn for an episode discussing the engineering and archeological marvel of the Pyramids, and he picked the day Bitcoin has gone into freefall to do it. It only seemed right to kick things off discussing the fiduciary fad of cryptocurrencies and meme coins, before dissecting the question of how old ancient structures actually are and how that drastically alters the history of the human experience on this planet (9:46). The group continues to bounce ideas off each other, wondering out loud about the possibility of recurring global calamites infrequently resetting the human timeline (37:41), the accelerated pace towards multipolarity on the global stage (50:00), and entertain conspiracy theories on the unsung and unheard of power players of global finance.
