People have been telling me for years that the artist Shay Semple and I would get along. Finally, we started bonding on Instagram over a shared contempt for the Tumblr art of Nina Hartman. Shay, who hails from the Fentanyl cesspool of Vancouver, is the OG MAGA art world figure, known equally for his irreverent paintings, his provocative zines, and his hilarious rants, discusses with Adam his art world cancellation, the downfall of all that is punk rock, moral and intellectual weakness, demographic shifts and more.

Harm Reduction Mantra (W/ Shay Semple)

"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?
