Techno producer, DJ, Internet provocateur, and operator of the MoMAPS5 instagram account He Valencia joins Adam and Ben for a freewheeling discussion about neoliberalism's pulverizations of art, politics, and everything else in its path. He Valencia discusses the suffocating wokeness thrown his way in the electronic music world, versus the genre's history as a proletarian art form that transcended racial boundaries. Beyond that, we talk about Killer Mike's recent controversy by doing actual politics and being effective at actual politics (fuck the haters Mike, you a real one!), our class reducing daddy Adolph Reed taking petty snipes at queen Angela Nagle (what's up with that, Adolph?), and He Valencia's burgeoning friendship with pop music's last free thinker Azealia Banks.

NOTE: This episode is now useful for understanding how political rebrands work. Compare He. Valencia's statements on this show against his public comments now and you tell us if this feels like an authentic evolution of politics. 

(note: Adam mentioned industrial musician and artist Boyd Rice being connected to the alt-right, Boyd has never claimed allegiance to the alt-right and Adam meant to only emphasize what art world progressives have mislabeled Boyd as, the air quotes did not come through on the recording)

Buttigieg Techniques (with He Valencia)

future is fantasy. to which I see. 2 breathe 2 be.

"You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no Third Worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petrodollars, electro- dollars, multi-dollars, Reichsmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today."

This podcast System of Systems, the audio misinformation arm of Safety Propaganda, is hosted by writer/artist Adam Lehrer and artist Matthew Denicola. Conform – it's pervasive. A virus. A pandemic. How can we inoculate against it?
