Andrew walks James and Gare through the history and theory of the institution of the Commons.

The Death of Public Health Under RFK Jr.

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/51d56ed2-e14a-4b49-ad14-b22e0002b91f/transcript

Around the world, racist influencers have instigated a panic over shadowy global elites who have supposedly conspired to flood white-majority countries with immigrants from Latin America, Africa and Asia in order to destroy Western civilization.  This idea, called the Great Replacement Theory, has inspired mass shootings from New Zealand to Buffalo, NY.

This episode outlines the history of the Great Replacement Theory and explores the toxic political and social atmosphere that led to the murder of 23 Mexicans and Mexican-Americans and the wounding of 22 others at a Walmart in El Paso, TX on August 3, 2019.
