The End of the World with Michael and Stu
The Apocalypse is Everywhere. The End of the World with Michael and Stu is a (hopefully) insightful and (hopefully) humorous exploration of the rise of apocalyptic news, apocalyptic thinking and apocalyptic culture. Each week, we’ll be looking at a work of art, a piece of media, or an historical event related to the (hopefully not) impending End of the World.
The End of the World with Michael and Stu
Episode 38: They've All Come to Look for America
This week we are diving back into politics, looking at the platforms of both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, paying particular attention to where each candidate stands on apocalypse-adjacent issues like climate change and military weaponry. The results of our investigation may surprise you!
This episode is the first in a series we'll be doing as the 2024 US Presidential election draws ever nearer. We're always hearing that this election is "the most important election of our lifetimes" but maybe, at least as regards potentially world-shaking catastrophes, this time it's true?
We also spend the last portion of the episode looking at the efforts of Elon Musk to sway the election in Trump's favor, and wonder whether this might not be the beginning of a dangerous new trend in oligarchically managed democracy in the USA.
