Christopher Knowles explains how the comic book industry thrived when it was a "penny-ante" business ignored by corporate masters. He traces the decline to 2008 when big money entered the scene, followed by a shift from class consciousness to race consciousness after Occupy Wall Street.

Greg Carlwood shares his perspective on multiculturalism and the "divide and conquer" tactics used by the elite to pit regular people against each other.

Farber and Carlwood discuss the "conspiracy" of consumer culture, where corporations use memes to keep the public in a state of servitude and debt.

The discussion explores the evolution of Japanese society from historical feudalism to modern mega-corporations.
