Black Thoughts 4 - Political Language, Politicised Language, and Status Games
About this episode
After an even longer wait, in this fourth episode of Black Thoughts James dives into a discussion of the politics of language, and how political wars are waged on the left using politicised language - and genuinely good desires - for individual gain.
Content warning: this episode features mention of suicide and problematic language. In particular, ableist language is directly discussed.
This episode makes reference to the essay "Exiting the Vampire Castle" by the late Mark Fisher, first published in The North Star in 2013 and since republished on Open Democracy here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/exiting-vampire-castle/.
