THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 102: Allstar Session w/ Dan Larson , C. Derrick Varn, Djene Bashlan
Well it’s been not a full week since the events of great storming of the Capital by a mix of QAnon conspires, MAGA heads, Proud Boys, and well, just a bunch of people that have bought into the current administration’s false claims about the election being stolen. Would these claims have had the same merit, the same effect on masses of people had not the Russiagate narrative be shoved down the throat of the American people ad nauseam by mainstream media? Twitter and Facebook, after the events of Monday and a GOP mutiny of the Trump wing of the GOP have banned permanently the 45th president. Is it too little too late? Is it the all-controlling hand of “Big Brother” silencing decent? I mean wasn’t this part of Kamala Harris’ presidential platform? Remember on the debate stage Harris calling for the muting of Trump’s Twitter account? A race reductionist argument is also fanning the flames as well. Mainstream media to YouTube pundits persist with the claim that only because the participants of the short siege of the Capitol building were white they weren’t harmed, or treated as heavy handed as BLM. 5 people died, one being an officer. Another woman was trampled to death, of course many people saw one woman shot in the neck trying to break into the sealed doors of Congress. Are we building back better? Is the current administration, which has already shown us that they are NOT going to be fundamentally different than the previous neoliberal ones we’ve seen previously lead us to “restore the soul of America?” Is neoliberalism and the warmongering neoconservatives at the core of the rot of the country? I have some homies here to help us answer these questions. You can Watch Dan Larson on Toy Galaxy Here: youtube.com/toygalaxytv You watch C.
