  • Breaking Down Operation Varsity Blues (Eat The Rich!)

    We fell asleep. And the next day woke up into a world where venture capitalists, Youtube influencers, and Mossimo for Target were sharing headlines with a widespread college admissions scandal. Not only do we break down the latest and greatest in Operation Varsity Blues, we look at the future of the overwhelming capitalist industries currently exploiting our personhood and the future of this planet. Eat the rich! Reclaim their assets! Dismantle the college industrial complex!
