Stop with all this "as seen from the right" shit. This isn't a "conservative" documentary. Hey, guess what? The same globalist fucks who dodge the documentarions attempts at learning more about funding, guess what? They also help give tons of money to "right-wing" groups. They sit on boards which do this. They have sons and daughters, or cousins and in-laws who did this.

THEY PLAY BOTH SIDES.

My apologies. My title is poorly titled. I meant to indicate that podcast is from the alt-right and is anti-globalist. As they point out the documentary is less so.

Definitely anti-globalist

My apologies as well, you are right about the podcast being more right-leaning. I was misled by my emotions.

Edit: Discussion of Planet of the Humans begins at 00:50:00. Prior to that they talk about the U.S. response to COVID 19 and the recent Trump-Biden 2020 election debate.

From the podcast description:

Humans, like all biological organisms, seek to leverage their natural surroundings to their benefit. The human capacity for rapid transformation of their environment, especially in modern times, is so great that some have come to call it by its own geological epoch, the Anthropocene.

As with any power dynamic, incentives exist such that those with power seek to retain, and those without seek to gain. Consequently, the usage of modern technology is set to grow, even if it has negative consequences for the health and sustainability of the natural environment. Such is the conclusion of the film The Planet of the Humans, which argues the environmental movement, and its recent corporate and billionaire sponsors, have become corrupted by the very same cynical motives they outwardly claim to be fighting against.

Tonight we discuss this phenomenon, along with a brief update on the 2020 presidential election debates.
