BLOOD WORK / EPISODE 9

TO LIVE AS PEOPLE OR DIE LIKE MEN: ATTICA

In 1971, a community cast aside by the state attempted to reclaim their humanity and political subjectivity. We look at the Attica Prison Uprising to see what that event can teach us about politics, law and violence.

It's something like the Lost Cause myth acquiring an Evangelical Christian imprimatur with the entry of the Moral Majority (coupled with the amorality of Reaganite neoliberal capitalism), then imbuing itself with a global mission to establish total imperium after 9/11 and through the GWOT.
i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

Cracking up at Linehan talking about NPCs, this language should be confined to 12 year olds. You type out something like that, you don’t say it out loud. His problems with Effexor make me think he’s not reading the directions on the pill bottle, don’t mix with alcohol!
ask your doctor about pfizer's effexor (venlafaxine hydrochloride) for treatment of hate boner erectile dysfunction. side effects may include being wrong about the history of amphetamine production and usage

This paragraph from Elliot Abrams’ (!) essay in Foreign Affairs was the most brazen instance of ‘rubbing our noses in it’ in recent memory. Just despicable.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Not that anything matters anymore but just on a personal level that mid 2010s period where these people got to feel like staunch antiracists by opposing the only viable left wing alternative to the shitshow we’re facing now was some of the most galling stuff I’ve ever lived through

@gregk.co.uk's @bloodwork.show asks the critical question of our time: what is the relationship between violence, politics and class society - and how can we demolish cycles of historic violence in (to paraphrase Gramsci) the illusioned, disillusioned postmodern world.

10/10. Go listen, right now.

One of my long-term aspirations is that Blood Work might evolve into such a programme with the hook being the panellists are sat around a table, at the centre of which is a loaded handgun
We need one of those bare set, hour long politics tv shows shown at 11pm where no one shouts, the questions are forensic, the other guests are figures of the arts world, and only 6 people watch it.
Though one important part of making politics intellectual is that when you host a podcast called "Political Thinking" and somebody comes out with guff like Badenoch did, you really do have to challenge it. Right now there's no reward structure for deeper thinking or self-reflection.
