Besides 💰and 👁️ *

Why doesn’t the left do a propaganda like the Barbie movie or those two White-Supremist country songs?

Imagine Barbie but with class-consciousness. With all the basically free high-production tools and talent on the left, is it not possible?

*Or is it that simple?

No worries.

Gabriel Rockhill is a dissident post-poststructuralist (i.e. he is schooled in post-structuralism [by big names such as Derrida, Iragary, Badiou and Balibar no less]) and he has arrived at a place where he is very critical of the movement and its origins.

While I never studied poststructuralism anywhere near as much as he did, I arrived at basically the same conclusions before discovering his stuff so naturally I find his arguments compelling.

You can find more articles by him here and he also has a YouTube channel here which has some good lectures in there if you want to learn more about his takes.
