I speak to the bête noire of Marxist commentary & nemesis of the dirtbag left, Aimee Terese about:

  • Leaving the Left.
  • Being "post-left" & the tyranny of political labels.
  • Love for the little guy & the genius of small accounts.
  • Being honest under weaponized dishonesty.
  • Jordan Peterson, Steven Pinker & liberal "progress porn."
  • "There are no more nazis or communists."
  • Covert authoritarianism and the Right adopting enemy framing by default.
  • Compulsory enjoyment & loving everyone (or else).
  • Turning social dysfunction into GDP go BRRRRR.
  • Climate change freaks & "the world will end in 12 years" millenarianism.
  • Who is "the worker" in 2021?
  • No real difference between market & state: State Capitalism gone global.
  • Using individualism as a shield to ignore collective problems and reneging on our responsibility to each other.
  • Indigenous rights in Australia and the tyranny of empty gestures.

Her recommended subversive thinker is Rosa Luxemburg.
