Rhyd Wildermuth returns to the podcast to discuss some of the ideas presented in his recent essay, A New Luddite Rebellion. Rhyd expounds on the role social media has played on our ability to discuss complex and nuanced ideas, and the role identity politics has played in the Left's (in)ability to effectively organize against capitalism and produce tangible alternatives to the dominant organizing ideology of our time. We also discuss traveling, the culture shock that comes when you travel back to the United States, as well as an upcoming online course, led by Rhyd, on "a pagan introduction to Marxism." // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/rhyd-wildermuth-2 // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
