The Trauma Industry
from Casement's Leftovers · host Casement's Leftovers
This month Heather & Matt are too busy "working" to perform their vital role of reigning Helen & Glen in from being the cyclical haters they were born to be - that's right, we're throwing it back to the original line-up babyyy! Join Helen & Glen as they take on the online cottage industry of monetizing your trauma in order to be the best activist there ever was. We discuss how identity is becoming the core of our politics, and how those identities are reified by the trauma attached to them, and analyse how this intersects with social-media-as-a-career-ladder to create a society in which "sharing your story" of the worst thing that ever happened to you is actually ... highly profitable. If you hate everyone and yourself, you'll love this episode! Join us! Support the show
