Ep. 106 - Independent Media Creation in the Age of Spin (& Memes) 2.0 ft. Camila Cuevas

BrownTown talks memes, mass mobilization, and more with Camila
Cuevas (AKA @ComradeCami), Chilena expat living in Florida, USA.
She uplifts liberation struggles and provides social movement
resources through memes and social media via what she calls
"thirst-trapping the masses into class consciousness." The team
dissects our current moment in the social media landscape, the
influence of TikTok on Palestine and other issues, how to push
radical politics in a policed tech-world controlled by
billionaires, and breakdown their favorite political memes.
Originally recorded April 17, 2024.
