  • Beautification as a modality for revolution - Luigi, Jesus and Che Guevara

    Season 3 Episode 2


    Why I think Luigi may have been a chosen figure to face the court trial and why a “pretty face” is often chosen to symbolize a movement. Something that I didn’t discuss is how whether intentionally or not, the male grooming of Luigi by fellow inmates is also helping the cause by further “beautifying” him which further makes me think that he is not an intended sole actor (someone who could build camaraderie with fellow inmates so fast that they advocate for his release on national television, did not charm others into building a network of support before his carefully thought out plan? I do not think so). Obviously his crime is alleged and condolences to everyone who has died. This a theoretical exploration that I connect to other manifestations of this phenomenon such as the Beautification of Christ and my loose theory that Che Guevara’s place as a face of the communist movement is also partially a result of his looks. Dear US government, if you are listening, don’t worry I don’t like terrorism, I am merely analyzing what I perceive to be historical trends. Any perceived excitement on my end is purely intellectual excitement. Merry Christmas everyone btw!

  • The issue with Resource distribution - French, Learning Disability, God, Poverty, Communism

    Season 3, Episode 1:


    Somehow me thinking about why I love learning French when I’ve historically hated language learning leads me to discussing ADA, unfair resource distribution in South Africa, why God is not at fault for poverty and the shortcomings of communism as an alternative to capitalism.


    Also I’m back! The application that I used to make these episodes has essentially died, but the shell of its former self allows me to upload still. It will take me some time to figure out how to edit, re-record and brand my content without the tools that I used to be able to access, so please be patient with me!

  • Amazon Prime Video’s Swarm: No more sympathy for murders?
    Season 3 Episode 4: Had to just release my thoughts on the show. It’s brilliant, not what I was expecting and it got me thinking. Something I didn’t say but I was on the edge of describing is the ways in which misogynoir may make the audience stop sympathizing and start stereotyping and that careful balance of who the audience is and if Swarm managed to stop sympathy for murders but increase sympathy for black women?
