I've been avoiding Bad Faith but they're about to sucker me in with the one guest I've longed for, Boots Riley

I’ve only listened to a few Bad Faith episodes due to the fact that “the centrists and center-left do not share our goals” isn’t wrong, but when it’s the single button one of the hosts pushes without a lot of nuance, it gets boring

The knobs who’ve pushed all in on the idea of DSA careerism are amazing.
I already joined the dsa and attended their general. It was filled with careerist speakers and ngo representatives. They made no attempt at greeting new members or reaching out personally to anyone.

As one listener put it on Twitter, their podcasts have “just enough Heidegger to confuse the economists. just enough economics to confuse philosophers. all of it not specific enough to even be wrong. an interdisciplinary mish mash making even the film theorists blush.” Likewise, another wrote, “*MMT humanities bro rips bong* MMT bro: the ontologic historical problematic mediates and reifies through the univocal application of a transhistoric monetary epistemology that mediates the primordial ooze that is ‘your hand’ and ‘toothpaste.’”
loool this is accurate

One paper by members of the Money On The Left project called for the creation of a Fed-backed, university-issued currency, known as “the Uni,” to both support operations and provide an academic jobs guarantee, insulating scholars from questions about whether their work is a worthy use of “taxpayer” money.The Uni project is a model: Instead of funding the project by taking existing monetary wealth from rich people—and thus ultimately granting the propertied classes the privileged place they enjoy in our politics as “tax payers”—it undertakes public investment using the state’s unique money-creating power. This has some profound political implications: if investment in public projects like universities or infrastructure ultimately stems from the state’s money-creating powers, not taxes, then a politics that fully harnesses that power would make the rich politically irrelevant. The government still taxes, but to check inflation and accumulations of unproductive wealth.
