Yeah, you have freedom if you can afford it. But who can afford it? Certainly not the working class anymore, unless you consider their "freedom to work in indentured servitude" (3:00). Or the freedom of "blue collar workers for Amazon [whose] movements are tracked, controlled, surveilled" and "warehouse workers are intentionally burned out and pushed down after three years" (1:05). And why do we have these conditions? "You see a truly free working class is too much of a threat to power to possibly tolerate (3:15). [...] Freedom has to be quashed before it hardens into expectations of a decent and dignified life" (3:40). So much for freedom, eh?
Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, linguistic framing, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.
