School’s Out For Rapture ft. Josh Boerman
Added 2022-05-09 22:39:49 +0000 UTCIt's the free one!
Josh Boerman from The Worst of All Possible Worlds joins the entire gang to discuss the Christian Dominionist designs on American society through the lens of the "school choice" campaign led by, among others, West Michigan's very own Betsy DeVos. We look at parallels between similar movements here, and how they link to other demands made by the same people.
The Worst of All Possible Worlds (@TWOAPW) is a weekly podcast of case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire. Co-hosts Josh (@boshj) and Brian (@spocks_brian) grew up evangelical in Michigan and New Mexico, while A.J. (@thefuzzymask) grew up Catholic in California. Together, we deconstruct how narrative and artistic choices in popular media reflect or subvert the ongoing reactionary project in contemporary America and the world at large.

we did an interesting interview with the outgoing editor-in-chief of the calvin university student newspaper that you might be interested in. no surprise that the school is a flashpoint for this type of insanity

2022-05-11 17:07:05 +0000 UTCI live in West Michigan and some of these townships are outright HotFuzz lvl cult communities. They want all of the community aid to be doled out, or refused to, through the church. Every member is surveiled by nosey neighbors and local “pious” businesses. They make a show about how they’ll go any length to help community member except melenated folks or anyone who speaks another language natively and show contempt for the young if they don’t carry on the faith
