Audio From A Collapsing State | Jared Yates Sexton

Things within the United States and outside, where a mindless, disastrous war continues, continue to spiral, so I’m very glad to have these Wednesday conversations with Danielle Moodie. In this episode of The Check-In, we talk about the moment where white supremacist and capitalist privilege finally meets reality. Trump is stuck in an awful position and there’s no easy way out. No bankruptcy to declare. No rich father to bail him out. Only a declining empire and a complete and utter failure that will doubtlessly change things going forward. It was a great talk and I hope it helps you.Dispatches From A Collapsing State desperately needs your help.

Man alive. I needed this conversation with Danielle Moodie on the latest episode of The Check-In. Today we wrestled with the very real possibility that the war with Iran has brought us to a real fuck-around-and-find-out moment that could be the reckoning the American Empire was always going to reach. We discuss how white supremacy and American Exceptionalism have always been self-destructive ideologies that would bring us to ruin and how Trump and the fascists are the full realization of that fact which has haunted us since our founding.Dispatches From A Collapsing State desperately needs your support.

Another episode of The Check-In with Danielle Moodie and I feel like we’re really getting down to the thing about living at the end of empire. This conversation got into the need for family (of choice) and community as we face the oncoming storm that is the collapse of the United States of America, including the political and economic consequences. We get into the colonization of our minds and our culture, the need to educate ourselves in decolonization philosophy and the actual history of our lives.

Instead of writing out my answers I recorded this episode of Audio From A Collapsing State to see how it felt verbally processing. I’ve been getting a lot of questions recently and this batch gets into so much. We start by going over the difference between w…

Was happy, as always, to join THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali this afternoon to discuss the absolute debacle in the Middle East and here. We discussed how all this self-destruction is being pushed by some of the most privileged and competent men imaginable, which all but ensures failure and tragedy. Later, we get into the fact that Donald Trump’s base is leaving him but stress that Democrats can’t just count on their votes as the Far Right, which is just waiting for Trump to either die or go away, will be there to radicalize them to even more Neo-Nazi positions.Dispatches From A Collapsing State desperately needs your support.
