It's May. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, the temperatures are rising, and the bombs are flying over the Strait of Hormuz again.

For this second episode of TWIU, I'm joined by my friend and comrade Heidi Berry for an in-depth conversation about patriarchy, the so-called "male loneliness epidemic," and how Marxist-Leninist feminism can lead us out of it.

I also talk about Congress whining about Hasan Piker, the absolute state of the Democratic Party, and why I'm not (yet) digging Axiom's End by Lindsay Ellis.

Here's that Chris Knight article we discuss about matrilineal kinship in early human society: https://libcom.org/article/engels-was-right-early-human-kinship-was-matrilineal

This inaugural episode of The World is Ugly is all about me finding my footing. Sort of.

I discuss what this podcast is and why it exists, and complain for a little bit about the phrase "Trump's America" (and other similar expressions). Then I have my friend Igy on to talk about their experiences going to jail.

Igy will be back soon to talk about their game, Romance on the Red Planet. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-WJZaoIq34
