Episode notes
Hani and Shawn return to unpack the slow-motion collapse of two deeply dysfunctional democracies: Pakistan and the United States. Starting with the unraveling of the U.S. settler-imperial project (7:53), they ask whether today’s reactionary politics are born of naïveté or willful ignorance—or both.
The duo reflects on the engineered depoliticization of shared spaces (31:06) and the political imprisonment of Imran Khan during amidst Pakistan’s sociopolitical paralysis-inducing "general" elections (40:30), while raising even more urgent questions: Can Biden make it to Election Day—literally and politically? And if not, who will the DNC resurrect as their last-minute nominee?
