QUIT EVERYTHING with Franco "Bifo" Berardi, Acid Horizon, and Kenny Novis

Pre-Order Here: www.penguinran...
In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion". A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain.
Berardi analyses why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.

Am a big Berardi, Acid Horizon and Mark Fisher and X military fan. And I try to execute what I learn from them. So, thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Love you guys, from India.

Absolutely STOKED about this one

[@skylarjon3464]

What a great episode. I absolutely love Bifo and it's great to see him on the show. He's one of the main reasons I'm still doing theory

Third world people like myself are already deserted by neoliberalism

[@Topocho-n9z]

Racialized refugees of the global south now living within the imperial core (N. America) as well as anyone historically associated with the middle class is being affected by neoliberalism. The benefactors are politicians, high level bureaucrats, finance professionals, and capitalists. Speculative investors to a lesser extent.

[@Topocho-n9z]

In addition to the historically disenfranchised members of our communities and our biosphere… I should not have left that out.

The propaganda of today's society states that those who are very smart, speak very rarely. This is, of course, one of many lies that ruling class forces on us in order to keep us in line. In fact, the opposite is true, and professor Berardi is a perfect example of this being the case. I wish this interview was not finished so quickly since it was very interesting. Plus, I simply love his accent. I could listen to him speaking over and over. I fully support his idea of desertion because the sooner we refuse to obey this capitalist system, the sooner we get the power into our hands. We need to desert from everything that the ruling class teaches us and tells us to do because all of those things make us less and less humans (which is why more and more of us are ending up with depression). This is the first time I heard professor Berardi. I am impressed, and I wish I could meet him because it feels that we share similar views.

Wow! I just learned that professor Berardi and I share the same birthday (November 2). Haha. Nice coincidence. Now, I want to meet him even more.
