HAPPY NEW YEAR
*PREVIOUSLY PATRON-ONLY CONTENT*
I had a conversation with my friend Aamer of Das Criminal Podcast (https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/dascriminal). We discussed the good art vs good politics, video games as propaganda, and whether art can be a substitution for political theory (no). I recorded and edited said discussion for you to enjoy!
And here are some links:
