ISL 002 - current events June 18, 2023

This is ISL, Illegitimate Scholar live, news current events discussed by the Illegitimate Scholar

I start with a discussion on the Penny indictment and what that means for those who might want to help others in a dangerous situation.

I discuss the implications of a strange firing of a Starbucks manager amongst accusations of racism years ago that just settled for 26 million dollars in favor of the former employee. I speculate Starbucks was aware they were wrong here but calculated the optics of taking action was worth more than the loss of money in the lawsuit.

I discuss LGBTQ+ creatives and the apparent loss in business revenue this year. I further discuss the position of corporations in the United States and why they do not have political opinions. The fall of rainbow capitalism.

I discuss a settlement where Epstein sexual assault survivors were awarded over 290 million by JPMorgan Chase, who were complicit in the trafficking.

 I discuss the apparent status of BMI as racist and speculate that someone, somewhere, is making money off of this new idea.

I discuss fentanyl from China and the historical irony in it.

I discuss the difference between perceptions of race and self in China and in the US.

I discuss a possible arms sale to Hungary, a supposed NATO ally and the line between ally and subordinate nation.

I end with a discussion of emic vs etic, anthropological terms, and the idea of having "non-men" instead of women.
