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.
