About this listen

Who put them in charge? And why did everyone else listen? Government 101: A History of Rule is a gripping walkthrough of how human beings have governed each other — from tribal chiefs and god-kings to empires, revolutions, bureaucracies, and beyond. This isn’t a textbook. It’s not about “how a bill becomes a law.” It’s about power — how it’s taken, how it’s enforced, how it breaks, and how it evolves. JJ breaks down the real story behind human rule. You’ll meet sacred monarchs, revolutionary mobs, puppet states, fake democracies, deep states, and the creeping machinery of modern control — from corporations to algorithms. It’s funny. It’s terrifying. It’s all true. And by the end, you might realize we still haven’t figured it out.
