Episode notes

This chapter delves into the speaker's personal experiences with feminism and their critique of mainstream liberal white feminism's emphasis on identity politics. It also explores the erosion of the social safety net, the decline of unions, and the shift towards low-wage service work.

Radical politics and radical movements are on the rise everywhere. Against racial violence, and climate change; against gender inequality, corporate greed, low wages, oil pipelines, opioids. Maybe at heart they all have a common cause. Maybe they're all — in one way or another — a rebellion against capitalism.
