Prevailing identity politics norms call on people “listen to the most affected” or “centre the most marginalized." But this often works out quite badly in practice. Philosopher Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò on his brilliant essay "Being-in-the-Room Privilege: Elite Capture and Epistemic Deference."

A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.

Before he became a conservative warrior, John Rambo was just a mixed-up vet. We're joined by Jacobin deputy editor Micah Uetricht to parse the ambiguous politics of FIRST BLOOD (1982), where Sylvester Stallone is just as frazzled by right-wing cops as he is by left-wing protestors. We also situate the film among other Vietnam War movies, and compare the Vietnam canon to Iraq War cinema. PLUS: Luke has been reading Obama's autobiography and has some thoughts.
