Above The Weeping World

from El Grito · host icenice13

What's good world, we're back with some more of that G shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm talking about the schism between the modernist and the postmodernists. No conversation on this matter can be had without talking a little bit about the figurehead of the form, one Jordan B. Peterson, but real shit, homeboy is exactly that - a figurehead that best exemplifies the tension that has the US - and the entirety of the world, really - at a breaking point as we head into 2021. The American Empire is facing mad uncertainty at the moment, and for many of us, the rationale of 'patriotism' and 'duty to one's country' that has been used to justify the unjust treatment of people's in the hood are ringing more hollow and being exposed for the empty gestures they truly are by the day. The sentiment has been fomenting for all of 2020, and for 2021, I thought it best to start by addressing the simple question on the minds of hundreds of millions of Americans who are fed up with the unfounded modernist rationale that has been telling us we are at 'the end of history' and all our problems have been sold, and that is 'why TF should we show loyalty to a country that clearly don't give a MF about us?'. I'm a be picking up this idea in a series of podcasts, but for now, I ask simply - why does one wealthy politician from Kentucky have the ability to determine the economic relief desperately needed by hundreds of millions of Americans? Stay woke fam, better worlds are possible...
