We’re trying a new experiment with my podcasts moving forward, where I record them as a Space on X / Twitter (and also broadcast them on my YouTube channel) to invite people to come and discuss ideas with me.
Today’s discussion starts off as a critique of James Lindsay and his work, where I assert that he is allowing the real communists to win by lying to people about the Democratic party being communist.
It then morphs into a robust discussion of queer theory and the differences between the way activists show up in the real world versus what’s published in academia.
