81 – Rebooting the Future w/ Simi

We talk with journalist and activist Simi (bylines: Skanda Kadirgamar) about the side effects of capitalist realism, where we mistake capitalism for a law of physics. We also talk about Kashmir, Sri Lanka, xenophobia and racism after 9/11, the potentiality of Trans and Queer people, occupying space as a marginalized person and the interest in martial arts, and capitalist realism's effects on journalism.  We can't continue to produce important episodes like this one without your solidarity. There is no Southpaw without your financial support. In return, not only do you help produce the show but you also get access to more great content. It's mutual aid.
