In this week’s episode of Uncolonized, we dive into the aftermath of the recent U.S. election and what it means for Canadians, as it looks like another four years of Trump may be on the horizon. We break down the ripple effects of Trump’s presidency on Canadian politics, the economy, and our collective social landscape. Is Canada as immune to the U.S. political climate as we like to think, or are we just as susceptible to the rise of far-right ideologies? Join us as we navigate the myth of Canadian exceptionalism and what a Trump presidency could mean for our liberal bubble up north.

S16E05 - So what now?

In Episode 4 of Uncolonized Season 16, Daniel and Gavin dive deep into the 2023 film Jones Plantation, an indie movie created by anarcho-capitalists that uses slavery as a metaphor for government oppression. But behind the "freedom" rhetoric lies a more insidious truth: the film’s creators seem to align with ideologies that ultimately favour the oppressor’s side, not the enslaved. We dissect how using slavery metaphors to promote anti-state, pro-capitalist agendas conveniently ignores the historical context of white supremacy, capitalism's role in the slave trade, and how these narratives perpetuate the very power imbalances they claim to oppose. Tune in as we unpack this messy, revisionist take and expose why this film is more fuel for the libertarian myth machine.

S16E04 - Libertarians and their slavery metaphors

Uncolonized Podcast Season 16, Episode 3: This week, Gavin and Daniel dive into a surreal yet unsettling event—Donald Trump’s recent rally at Madison Square Garden. Drawing parallels to the 1930s Nazi rally held in the same venue, they explore how the symbolism, spectacle, and tone feel eerily familiar. They also discuss Hulk Hogan’s peculiar speech and Tucker Carlson’s "white replacement theory, but the spotlight shines on Tony Hinchcliffe's bizarre “roast” at the rally. Tune in for a thought-provoking analysis of the event's cultural and political undercurrents. <hr>
