You're Not Welcome Here, Ep. 8:“They’re Acting Against Their Interests”

Straight White American Jesus · Feb 23, 2022 · 12m

This episode explores the concern that people act against their own social or political interests because of their identity. Because they privilege their identity, they oppose political, social, or economic policies that would be beneficial to them. Dan argues that this is a mistaken conception, and that we have to recognize that identity and interests are entangled with each other in complex ways. Changing how we understand the relationship between identity and interests is the key to advancing transformative politics. Subscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus episodes, ad-free listening…
