Ever feel like something's just not right, but you can't quite put your finger on it? Comedian David Boyle is back with his podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol' and he's diving into the murky waters of neoliberalism. Boyle, known for his raw and humorous take on life, shares his journey from a booze-soaked past to a sober present, while tackling some heavy topics along the way.
In this episode, he unpacks the real conspiracy – not aliens or flat earth theories, but the economic system that's been pulling the strings all along. Boyle talks about how neoliberalism, corporatism, and globalisation are designed to keep the elites in power and subjugate the masses. It's not a hidden agenda; it's all out there if you're willing to dig a little deeper.
He references Noam Chomsky and recommends reading 'A Brief History of Neoliberalism' by David Harvey to understand the bigger game at play. Boyle's perspective is shaped by his own experiences and the realisation that the system is rigged against the average person. He draws a clear line between the small game most people play – finding love, working hard, raising kids – and the bigger game played by the powerful few.
This episode is a wake-up call for anyone feeling that vague sense of unease about the world. Boyle's candid and often humorous delivery makes it an engaging listen, even as he tackles such serious subjects. So, if you're ready to see the world through a different lens and question the status quo, this episode is for you. What are we going to do about it? That's the question Boyle leaves us with.
Don't miss out on this thought-provoking episode that promises to change the way you see things.
