Ep 17 - Redpillers, the Post-Apocalypse, and Jenkem, all in one show?!

We have a Patreon now! https://www.patreon.com/givingthemic/ Natasha(@ashesforfoxes), Garrett(@comradegarrett), & I started by talking about Gamergate/RedPill/MRA bollocks, and naturally wander off into creators who can't be edited, Zizek, why we can't envision a future that isn't post-apoc or SkyNet-controlled, and wind up mentioning fake drugs, from "Nuke" to one the media actually think are real, like Jenkem. Ep was recorded in early April. / / / / / Notes: - - - - - - The quote I'm mangling is from Fredric Jameson(I think), and Zizek says it a lot: "It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism" - Confused Cats Against Feminism - http://confusedcatsagainstfeminism.tumblr.com/ - Rick Perlstein's "Outsmarted" - https://thebaffler.com/salvos/outsmarted-perlstein - Talking about it on the Experts Baffled: http://thebaffler.com/latest/experts-baffled-1-smart - Dave Weigel on the Jacobin's The Dig podcast: https://www.blubrry.com/thedig/21836566/dave-weigel-what-the-media-doesnt-get-about-the-left/ - James Adomian doing Slavoj Zizek on Chapo Trap House #46: https://soundcloud.com/chapo-trap-house/episode-46-no-cucks-in-a-foxhole-feat-jadomian-10416 - - That news report about Jenkem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UsNbsjpuLc - Recs: - The Expanse - Legion - Alice Clark - "Never Did I Stop Loving You" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPOO7iwufCQ - Eric Carlson doing Bird Photography: https://www.patreon.com/portlandbirder - Jonathan Matthew Smucker's _Hegemony How-To: a Roadmap for Radicals_ - Jacobin/Verso Book's _The ABCs of Socialism_ - / / / / / · · · We're on Facebook now! www.facebook.com/givingthemic · Twitter: www.twitter.com/givingthemic · Comments/Questions: [email protected] · Main theme by The Mysterious Breakfast'r Cereal on SoundCloud @chiptheme · Editing by Michael at Entertainment Unlimited - www.euavp.com · All items trademarked and copyright their respective owners.
