Black Thoughts 4 - Political Language, Politicised Language, and Status Games

After an even longer wait, in this fourth episode of Black Thoughts James dives into a discussion of the politics of language, and how political wars are waged on the left using politicised language - and genuinely good desires - for individual gain.
Content warning: this episode features mention of suicide and problematic language. In particular, ableist language is directly discussed.
This episode makes reference to the essay "Exiting the Vampire Castle" by the late Mark Fisher, first published in The North Star in 2013 and since republished on Open Democracy here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/exiting-vampire-castle/.

Following the success of talking about a thing that Jamie likes in Tinker Tailor, we decided to engage with another of his beloved IPs and it was Not Good.

E163 - Fight for Your Right to Study ft. Dr. Eleanor Janega

We re-enter reality (for what it's worth) and brought along Eleanor for the ride! We talk about the UCU and UNISON strikes in higher education, the platinum-plus freeports our new government has in store for us, and the sadness in one man's eyes as he still can't get laid simply for being a Tory. 
Get more Eleanor in your life!

E162 - Roko’s Modern Basilisk

Pop quiz, hotshot! Are you British enough to spot the real hysterical going-ons since the death of the maj from the fake? It turns out we're mostly done with all that anyway, so why not become a long-termist instead; forget about inequality and climate change, and join robohumanity in the cosmos! Every day we wait we kill hypothetical many billions ...

E161 - Your Strike’s In the Mail ft. Jordan

Released just before the whole UK got Very Normal, we've got Jordan on to talk about the CWU strike at the Royal Mail - it's a familiar tale of stupid neoliberal ideas applied to a natural monopoly. So up the workers! Also featuring the Truss goverment response to the energy crisis, central bank economics, and Not That Prince of Wales. 
Support strike funds like RMT or UCU. 
Listen to Comradio with Jordan, and Peace at Home (good music!).

E159 - The Great Pyramid of Geezer

In which we once again up the workers in every sector (going) on strike, discuss the very real advent of self-driving cars on UK streets in the next two years, and there's real practical thinking about how the poor are going to pay for energy this winter. Also, it's the Last Days of Boris so we look at what it meant, if anything, and where we're heading to next. Good places, one assumes.
