Radical left-leaning, self-loathing environmentalists, espousing a mix of true, half-true & objectively false sociocultural & geological observations. They attempt to serve passive antihuman solutions through fear mongering indoctrination.
Description
With equal parts humor and in-depth analysis, Asher, Rob, and Jason safeguard their sanity while probing crazy-making topics like climate change, overshoot, runaway capitalism, and why we’re all deluding ourselves.
