Joshua Clover's sing-a-long cover of Old Town Road by Lil Nas X

Sean and Varn catch up on the first 100 days or so of Trump 2.0, the inanities and indignities of history forced to move again in dumb, but possibly productive ways. Most of all this moment calls for humility amidst radical political and economic changes we might only be able to 'sane-wash' in 20 or 30 years, if ever.

How have recent events challenged our priors as Marxists or as Millennials or as Americans? Even if the Left is largely powerless to affect global events, do we at least have the courage to situate ourselves and our own subjectivities within the massive changes of the last 10 to 15 years? How might the left wing of capital respond to the current chaos and how might we?
