We take a critical look at this alleged “e-girl military psyop” trend and, using the immortal science, declare the US military to be in its flop era. Empire in decline vibes, indeed. Put your dicks away and pick up a copy of Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism instead. While you’re at it, cancel your subscription to the New Dork Crimes and give your money to us instead.

In this episode, your they-devils peel back the layers in the most metaphorical chapter of the book. They explore what it means to truly feel the intimacy of another person, and the transcendental nature of acknowledging your sexual partner's person-hood. They also look into what happens when the nerds and the freaks that are paving the so-called "future" go to extreme lengths to take person-hood out of sex. Also, they begrudingly acknowledge that maybe Steven Universe was right after all.
