We look into state overreach in the arrest of the producer for Youtuber Friendlyjordies by the police’s fixated persons unit.

We also discuss language that we associate with the Right of politics, like cuck and simp, being used by some on the Left (or at least not on the Right), drawing on the example of former Labor leader Bill Shorten calling Prime Minister Scott Morrison a simp.

Nick is joined by Nic from Pynk Spots for a DEEP dive into Bo Burnham’s musical comedy and what “content creators” (which is just about everyone in the age of social media!) can learn from his work. We mainly discuss his latest Netflix special ‘Inside’ but also touch on his previous specials ‘Make Happy’ and ‘What?’ – both of these are also available on Netflix.

Nick is joined by Nic from Pynk Spots (pictured above) to discuss what capitalism is and why we are anti-capitalists, as well as subtle ways we try to disrupt capitalist logic in our everyday lives. The discussion features analysis of capitalism and pop culture, as well as challenging the capitalist idea we have to constantly be productive, including on social media.

This episode is a continuation of the discussion featured on our last episode ‘Disrupting An Ableist, Capitalist Mindset Within Social Movements, Featuring Two Nic’s’. This discussion is also available in video form on Youtube here and below:
