Fucking Cancelled

Jay is joined by Judith Lefebvre and Louise Nachet from Comité Panaris. We talk about the dismal charade of Québec politics, the hollowing out of the Left by liberal identitarians, Gramsci’s ideas about the ‘organic intellectual’, and where to go from here. Also: fuck/marry/kill, Queb edition.

Jay is joined by Emmaia Gelman, author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State. We discuss the pivotal role of the ADL not only in running cover for Israeli war crimes and aligning mainstream American Zionism with outright fascism, but also — and maybe more importantly — in the weaving of complex, changing narratives around race, rights, and Jewishness in America and beyond.

Jay is joined by Cory Doctorow, a veteran activist for internet freedom and the best-selling author of Enshittification and The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI (among many other titles). We discuss the inexorable decline in the quality of tech platforms, the total capture of regulatory bodies by predatory corporations, the rise of monopoly capitalism, and what can be done about any of this.

Jay is joined by senior wildfire correspondents Roger and Erica to discuss the forest fires raging across North America. We talk about out of control fires on the edge of the Arctic Circle, the use of prison labour in fighting wildfires, and what kind of mitigation, if any, is possible. We also talk about the psychotic responses of American politicians to the crisis and capitalism’s One Weird Trick to deal with this problem (cutting down every tree while they still can). Also, Jay does a very bad Donald Trump impression.

Erica Thomas is a labour organizer, professor and artist. Roger Peet is an artist, writer and head of comms for the Portland DSA.

Numbness now seems to be the emotional default for so many of us — the result of living in a deranged reverse panopticon, where everything bad happening everywhere in the world (plus the fever dreams of robots) is beamed directly into your eyeballs all day long by our pitiless overlords. Jay joins poet, journalist and author Mark Abley to talk about confronting and escaping the brain-mushing machine (and Mark’s new book, Numb: The Politics of Overwhelm).

The boom in AI datacentres is part of an anti-everything endgame strategy for capitalists who want to permanently win capital’s war against labour and complete, once and for all, the enclosure of the commons and the privatization of all stores of value, down to the last bytes of information. Roger and Erica join Jay to discuss the widespread, grassroots, and bipartisan surge in opposition to these enormous datacentre infrastructure projects. We also talk about the Pope’s encyclical, the psychospiritual ramifications of AI, and the Protestant work ethic versus Catholic social teaching versus whatever the fuck is going on with the new breed of neofascist techlords.
