Twitter is Not Freedom: Our Treatise Against Techno-Capitalism

Lex and Apollo discuss Apollo's article, "Faux Liberty under Capitalism", and rant about CIA diversity ads, Twitter leftism, and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. It's complicated, but just get with it.

NOTE: You may hear a slight interruption in the middle. Technical difficulties, ugh.

NOTE Pt. 2: We make a lot of theory recommendations. Read them!

Anti-Anti-Capitalism: Fisher and the Future

Lex and Apollo discuss Lex's article "Anti-Capitalism and Capitalist Realism" and quickly go off on wild but substantive tangents about colonialism, "eco-conscious" capitalists, and a tad bit on Noam Chomsky. Watch out for more episodes.

Notes:

**"The Sublime Object of Ideology" and "The Pervert's Guide to Ideology" are two different things. Apollo got it mixed up.

**It is still called the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

**Check out Idris Robinson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQeW7RPkCZQ and also Cedric Robinson (great Black historian). Sorry for the slip-up, LOL!
