SE01 EP28 - Cuz it Feels So Empty w/o Free Speech (ft @burnest_hemingway) | The Power of Influencers
from Sourdough Modernity · host StringFellow Hawke
What do we expect from influencers when their platforms grow bigger than the networks that once shaped public opinion? Should they be held accountable if their followers take action — even violently? And would they keep speaking out if they knew what might come from it?In this episode, we’re joined by Dustin aka @burnest_hemingway to talk about the dangerous dance between influence, censorship, and truth in the age of collapsing trust. We get into blue fascism, the FCC’s panic over unregulated voices, and how legacy media is losing its grip now that people can get perspective from those they can’t control — voices we actually respect.We explore the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats, how "bipartisanship" usually just means screwing over the working class, and what MLK’s real legacy teaches us about how radical truth-tellers are treated in their own time. Plus: Flat Earth, Land Before Time conspiracies, and whether Pluto deserves a second chance.The more people who hear you, the more risk you carry — even if you’re saying the same thing. So how much information is too much, and who decides what’s true?📲 Follow Dustin for more insight and sharp commentary:Instagram: @burnest_hemingwayTikTok: @dustinschreiner2www.buymeacoffee.com/sourdoughmodernityEmail us at: [email protected] MERCH:https://ky1pgh-dy.myshopify.com/products/dave-proch-limited-edition
