54: The Murder of George Floyd and the Right-Wing Instigators (in Blue)
Jun 02, 2020•1 hr 30 min
Episode description
In this edition of IDSG, recorded less than 48 hours ago at the time of publication but already looking like an artefact of a dimly-recalled epoch, we talk about the savage 'ropeless lynching' of George Floyd by police, the subsequent explosion of protest and repression that has rocked the US, and a little bit about Trump's escalatingly bloodthirsty fascistic rantings. Daniel addresses the question of whether the violence has been stoked by fascist agents provocateurs. Basically the answer is: yes, but they're in blue.
