On Euro censorship + your comments and criticisms.

[Patreon Exclusive]

We discuss censorship in Brussels and Berlin, and put it in the context of the incorporation of right-populism. How will European politics come to look as national-conservatives become part of the establishment? What's up with these "sovereigntists" who are unserious about sovereignty?

Also we discuss your comments:

  • If cultural production is already monopolistic, can it be democratically planned?

  • Should we problematise "mental health"?

  • Is love a dangerous political emotion?

  • What happens if you leave the left?

  • How do we kill the ghosts of the 20th century?

  • Is a generational analysis of left-populism wrong?

  • How do we get beyond a world of media and images?

I really like it when you make these responses to the comments of the listeners! Concerning if the state should provide culture. Ofc. it would be horrible if some bureaucratic organ were to decide what culture should look like. However, I think we should also have in mind that the state can help secure another type of creation of culture for the exact reason that it, to a certain extent, can be a means to decommodify culture. Here, I am thinking of a passage in Mark Fisher's 'Capitalist Realism' in which he makes the case for the left rediscovering the potentials of the BBC: "I have an idealistic view, but if the BBC could do that, taking people beyond their own selves, it will renew itself in a way that jumps over the competition. The competition is obsessed by serving people in their little selves. And in a way, actually, Murdoch for all his power, is trapped by the self. That's his job, to feed the self. In the BBC, it's the next step forward. It doesn't mean we go back to the 1950s and tell people how to dress, what we do is say "we can free you from yourself" - and people would love it". My home country, Denmark (while not being the social democratic paradise that Bernie is praising), serves as a pretty good example of this. For many decades, there was a more or less well-established consensus that DR (the Danish equivalent of BBC) hasprovided television that could never be provided by commercial TV and radio channels. I think the question to ask is how we can establish a sphere in which culture can be created on decommodified terms while ensuring freedom for a variety of creators to have access to this sphere so that culture isn't monopolized.

I actually do agree with George that Rogan is a public masculine role model. He is in excellent shape, is associated with the stereotypically masculine mma crowd, and has a reputation as a guy that doesn't really care what self satisfied liberals think of him when they sneer at him and his fans. He's not an effete liberal but he is a compassionate person, he's funny, and he promoted stuff like mma and boxing and jiu-jitsu, which are more positive outlets for young men than crime or inceldom. Maybe most important theres never a sense he's talking down to his audience or trying to guide them to a conclusion (the exception being on mma related stuff). Overall, he's a great reminder you can be a flawed but normal and cool person that engages in stereotypically masculine attitudes and the anti masculine liberals can't really do anything about it
