Episode 131: Review of Sean Combs: The Reckoning

The new Netflix documentary 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning' profiling rapper, producer, and now convict P Diddy, has set the internet alight. We review the documentary, focusing on its themes of sexual violence and psychological control, behaviour that P Diddy got away with across four decades. We also discuss how the documentary presents a psychological profile of the real Sean Combs, someone who no matter what damage he caused, somehow managed to capitalise on it, only to cause more carnage. Plus, revenge as justice, malignant narcissism’s sadism, Sartre, Freud’s Totem and Taboo, mechanisms of financial and psychological control, how the American black middle-class utilise the black working-class and lumpen underclass in the entertainment industry, and at the end we give our own examples from leftwing politics of individuals who sought to psychologically wield power over others and the ‘tests’ and tactics they would use.
