What was that song from? I am having flashbacks 

Something about this account reminds me of how people like to think of Africa, and of certain African peoples (like the San) somehow being closer to the natural or original state of humans, even though by definition they are just as separated from it as we are.

If you check comments, I'd like to say that I thought this was quite fascinating!

Investigative journalist Donald Morrison (twitter.com/DonnyMorrison26) joins us to talk about the life and death of Bay Area legend Mac Dre. He walks us through his explosive new piece investigating the unsolved murder. Also, Brace does Thizz Face.

Episode 165: Who Killed Mac Dre?

"Hyperborea" was noted by the Greeks to have been a land beyond the vicious boreal winds of the north, in a sunlit realm of justice with no disease, war, old age, or labour. Where did this mythology come from and why is it still being referenced today? 

Part 2 will be out early for 2$ a month for Patrons at patreon.com/livagar . Additional bonus content about hyperborea will also be posted there.

In a recent view by Contrapoints, she goes over her account of envy and its connection with online politics. In doing so she utilizes Nietzsche (alongside a critique of Nietzsche). How accurate is this account to Nietzsche's work and where does it go wrong?  

Thank you to We're in Hell, BadEmpanada, and Chelsea Manning for the voice lines!

A Critique of Ben Burgis' "Karl Marx Was Right"

The Aids Coalition To Unleash Power, better known as ACT UP, is one of the most effective social movements in American history. New York City author and activist Sarah Schulman has returned many times to the lessons and provocations of this radically decentralised, unapologetically confrontational direct action group, which was founded in 1987 with one goal: to end the Aids crisis.

Yet through her work on ACT UP, Schulman has documented not just the legacy of Aids activism and alternative queer culture but their gradual erasure. And the process of forgetting, she says, is intimately connected to the processes of gentrification that have captured our cities and our minds in the last three decades.

In this episode, Schulman expands on ideas from her 2012 memoir The Gentrification of the Mind and her recent political history of ACT UP, Let The Record Show, to speak to Eleanor Penny about activism, queer culture, urbanity, global health and how cities produce revolutionary ideas. For more on the history of ACT UP, visit the oral history archive.
